Shelby lowering price of $20k GT500KR hood after web outrage erupts {Autoblog}
Sep 12th 2009 8:46PM They can require it because they are not under an obligation to sell you a replacement part. Thus, as a condition of selling you the new part that Shelby has no obligation to sell you, he requires the old (core) part.
Don't get me wrong, it sucks and Shelby is ripping people off.
The funny thing is that on the forum thread that discussed this originally, apparently Shelby and Ford homers were threatening the forum owner.
VIDEO: The Corvette ZR1 was chasing a Lambo LP670-4 SV around Millbrook {Autoblog}
Aug 14th 2009 10:23PM What a bunch of car snobs. The Vette interior is not "cheap". Is it the most refined? No, but its nice enough. What do you want, a useless suede dash and door panels. Lambskin flooring? Please, the Z06 is the best sportscar under 100k and the zr1 is the best under 200k without factoring price. Have any of you guys actually driven either? I have.
PS. The person that was blathering on about which one someone would rather drive i.e. A ZR1, what's that. I wouldn't even discuss cars with someone that doesn't know what one is. Taking their opinion on anything automotive is useless. Any knowledge they have about a Lambo is based on what they have seen on TV.
BREAKING: Early Camaro SS manual transmission failures reported, factory hold issued {Autoblog}
Jul 14th 2009 1:46AM Not true, I drove a Z06 a couple of months ago and the salesman told me to not get into trouble. My dad drove an SS cobalt and a Solstice. He let off at 100 and I shut the Vette down at 130 as I was about to slam 5th. The salesman was more than ok with it.
Fun while it lasted: Porsche Panamera Turbo reportedly tops Cadillac CTS-V's 'Ring record {Autoblog}
Jul 12th 2009 10:06PM Maybe suicide doors on the porsche would have looked better.
As I always say, save your cash. 3 seconds? Really. That's like Ferrari celebrating a win over a stock 2009 Corvette, the Z06, or the ZR1. 10k in mods to the Caddy and its no contest even with 4 sets of golf clubs and 4 overnight bags.
I've been considering the M5, M6, the base 2009 Vette, and the Caddy XLR. I know I know, wide range of cars. Cost isn't an issue but value is. I have to say, the vette is almost impossible to beat. Shoot I could get the vette AND the CTS-V for the cost of some of the European performance cars.

The new Star Trek flick has started a Trekkie civil war {TV Squad}
May 10th 2009 2:57AM You assume I collect GI Joes? You are incorrect. Even if I did, I am not foaming at the mouth about an insignificant piece of entertainment. Don't get me wrong, i like Star Trek, but your devotion to it is silly.
These nerdfestos debating the merits of the new movie and its affect on the Star Trek Universe only goes to reinforce those stereotypes. You know what I'm talking about, sad indeed.

CEA rails on California's proposed TV energy standards, rings doomsday bell {Engadget HD}
Apr 11th 2009 12:03AM Reading that release, I did not see one reliable "fact" anywhere. It contained a lot of guess work, conjecture and speculation. Too many coulds and mights to be reliable. Did the firm simply take the total sales in numbers and dollars,subtract the number of TV's that didn't meet the standards and then call it a day? Frankly, your "average consumer" doesn't care what tv they get as long as they get on they like. I guess we can't expect much from industry whores that are bought and sold based on what they will and will not say regardless of verifiable facts and critical analysis.
Ask Engadget HD: What's the best large LCD (42-inches and up) for the buck? {Engadget HD}
Apr 8th 2009 7:23PM Unless you have perfect lighting, price is absolutely king. Go with the Vizios or that Westinghouse for that matter. Brand name means nothing.
As someone that spent a lot of money on a TV, the value just isn't there in day to day use. When you put a blu ray or upconvert and have "hi-def" Tv, any LCD from a recognized company is going to be just fine. The other way to go about it is to go to Best Buy and look at their wall of tv's. Find the one you like the best and buy that model. Not neccesarily from BB mind you.
