Here's some ownership info about Chrysler and GM that I gathered from various news reports.
Chrysler Ownership Breakdown
55.0% - UAW
20.0% - Fiat
8.0% - US Govt
2.0% Canadian Govt
15.0% - UNKNOWN, most likely split between Cerberus and Bondholders. Cerberus owned 80.1% of "Old" Chrysler with...
That is exactly what I think too. :dunno: If Fiat thinks that they can save some R&D dollars by using a V10 from the Ferrari program, then we might end up with a Ferrari powered Viper. :crazy2: And while I might not buy it because it's not the brute I want, I have no doubt that a segment of...
Holy jackstand! That gives me the shivers. And I don't see the wheels chocked either. I sincerely hope someone was spotting you while you were underneath it.
BTW, I'm glad you fixed the problem.
My $80 HF jack still works great. One caster lost it's bearings but it's still usable after almost 8 years now. In terms of worrying about it, I've never had too. Those talking about trustworthiness probably don't spend any time under the car. Never rely on a $80 or $800 jack to keep the car...
It's a simple DIY job if you don't want anything fancy. Go to Autozone or PepBoys and get the following.
1. Automotive masking tape, thinnest width
2. Automotive sandpaper.
3. Primer in spray can.
4. Paint (whatever color you want) in spray can.
Everything should cost about $20-30. Then just...
NYC already has this crap. It's called a $150 parking ticket. CA, NY and IL are doomed anyway. They are all totally bankrupt.
Here's an eyeopener. Did you know NYC Police Dept has more almost 40000 (not a typo) police officers (37K regular + 4K auxillary)? For a city with 8 million people...
You are lucky you were not hurt. I hate parking on the shoulder because it's all too common to see someone cross the solid white line. The few times I do I park, I park as close to the ditch as I dare.
They are actually increasing the Maserati lineup. In the end, Fiat wants to use the Chrysler franchise to sell small (fuel efficient) cars. Besides if Fiat has to choose between an Italian sports car vs an American sports car, they would choose Italian. So it would be no surprise if the Viper is...
Why are you guys bashing someone who wants to join the community? The reality is that many dealers are in liquidation/fire sales and have only until Jun 9th to sell everything or they lose all rebate assistance from Chrysler. In the case of Vipers, that may not be much but who would want to buy...
Why don't you run this tank dry and test with fresh gas from a different gas station? If the problem persists, it's not the gas. Then check the filter. Then the fuel pressure test that RTTTTed suggested. Good luck!
The way I see the post above, Rogers Dodge should close. They are selling only Dodge while Autoland sells everything else. And if I'm shopping for a car, who cares about the dealer's building! I don't care if it's an old barn like Tator's. And once I buy the car, my only relationship with the...
While Chuck's business might seem like just another dealership, it's really his FAMILY business. And the emotional pride is arguably way more than the capitalist value. If he were to lose his dealership, becoming a Viper parts/mechanic might be his sole option.
That part of the article was silly because no one buying a supercar looks at Consumer Reports for reviews. But what sucked about Chrysler was that all of it's vehicles faired in the worst ranking on Consumer Reports. It can only hurt sales if there is poor quality control. And what's odd is that...
Yes, but you are buying them retail. I am not sure if you can buy parts wholesale without being a Chrysler dealer. If so, is the wholesale rate the same for dealers vs non-dealers?
Either way, this news sucks even though I was expecting it. It's time for me to hit the bottle and drown out my...
