Well, that'll find any leaks in your door or window seals for sure...

Re: My McGaughy's stuff is here! Maybe a door handle delete too?

Of gawd... I just saw the back end of it. It looks like an 80's Renault...

Re: My McGaughy's stuff is here! Yeah, but we were talking about poor old Fred. We don't care how many miles are on you. :D2

Re: Project FRED: Altitude Adjustment Nah, any old set of screwdrivers will work. Just run one through the sidewall of each tire and enjoy the lowness. :jester:

Re: Project FRED: Altitude Adjustment Gonna do all that with just those screwdrivers, huh? You DA MAN! :thumbs:

Possibly because the ones they have now can't take the boost.

The only spring compressor advice I have to offer is be fwonking careful! I've seen one "let go" suddenly and it scared the crap out of me when that spring took a chunk out of a concrete wall. And no, I wasn't the guy using it. I was the shop manager. The guy using it was our senior mechanic...

I love the body language she's projecting in that. Through most of the commercial she's shaking her head "no no", indicating to me that she does not actually believe what she's saying. :)

Aha Watson! Look closely at the gauges and tell me what you see... That's right! They're mirror images! I submit that our drperry attempted to take the photos through a closed window that reflected the gauge images to the camera and somewhat obscured and distorted the view. I'm bloody...

It would help Jim. He said he hates that stuff. :D2

Third base? :jester:

And you just made MY point, that GM has to share some of the blame for price gouging if they don't make any attempt to prevent it. :frustration: This is getting to be such a dumb argument that it's funny. :lol: Hey T! Who's on first? :crackup:

No, I'm not assuming anything of the kind. What I'm saying is this: If GM wanted to stop dealers from price gouging then all GM would have to do is to put a clause in the franchise agreement saying the dealer can't sell for more than MSRP, or list price if you prefer that term to MSRP. I'm...

T, I never said it did say that. What I said, and am still saying, is that if GM wanted to stop dealers from price gouging and charging premiums they could, easily, by having such a clause in the agreement.

If I was a franchised dealer and told I couldn't sell it for more than the MSRP? Yes, I'd be fine with that. Either there'd be enough profit margin built into the system to satisfy me or, if there wasn't, I'd get out of the franchise and sell something else. See, in my opinion, the rules all...

Yeah, that was kinda the point I was trying to make. :rolleyes: It looks like a Rolls, and Bentley can do a lot better than that.

Beats me. You're the one who came up with the idea I was pissed because I couldn't buy a car. :dunno:

I agree. Bentley can do a lot better than this crap. I keep looking at it wondering where the "Flying Lady" hood ornament went...

I haven't owned a car in more than a decade T, and have no use for one, so let's call that part of your response null & void, shall we? My only objection is, like Jim's, to price gouging.

Because the dealers aren't just independent businesses, they're franchises. The franchise organization exerts a lot of control over how a franchise can be operated.

And, under the current system you're 100% correct. But that wasn't my point. My point was that GM could change that if it wanted to. GM could quite easily stipulate in the franchise contract that no vehicle could be sold for more than MSRP. Don't like it? No one is forcing you to be a...

Just because it's been done for years by every company doesn't invalidate my statement that if GM wanted to stop their dealers from doing it they could, and that they simply don't want to.

x3 GM has the biggest damn hold over them possible, "Sorry, we're revoking your franchise for price gouging. We won't sell any more products to you. Check line xx of page xx, section x of your franchise agreement for full details."

Re: GM Halts Chevy Volt Production Because They Suck Bullshit. GM could rein in the dealers if they wanted to, but they don't. Other companies seem to have no problem stopping dealers from selling their product for more than MSRP, so why does GM? Hell, in a lot of states there are consumer...
