Yikes! Car sales is a dangerous job!: by isis867 on Thu Oct 09 11:22:05 PDT 2008; Saw this on the news today... I guess car sales is a more hazardous job that I though! Man accused of killing car salesman attacks Dallas jail guards Associated Press Oct. 9, 2008, 6:28AM DALLAS � A 41-year-old man facing charges of capital murder and robbery for allegedly killing a car salesman by forcing him out of a moving pickup truck during a test drive attacked his guards during a jailhouse interview with a Dallas television station. James Thorpe, who has a history of mental illness, cut short a 10-minute interview with WFAA on Wednesday by slamming down a phone and shouting obscenities. He then shoved and scuffled with two guards before a door closed, blocking the view of the camera operator. Witnesses told police that salesman John Phinney fell from the passenger side of the pickup during the test drive Tuesday night. It was unclear whether Phinney was pushed from the truck, which was probably traveling more than 50 mph, police said. Thorpe was arrested later Tuesday and was being held Wednesday on a $3 million bond at the Dallas County jail. It was not immediately clear whether Thorpe had an attorney. Thorpe denied pushing Phinney out of the vehicle in jailhouse interviews with Dallas-Fort Worth reporters. He said the car salesman jumped out while the vehicle was going about 50 mph. Thorpe referred to himself as the "anti-Christ" and said he had no remorse over Phinney's death because the victim "was possessed."

Bio diesel for school buses in Martha's Vineyard: by gagrice on Thu Oct 19 17:22:19 PDT 2006; Biodiesel for cars and home heating is available on the Vineyard, although fuel distributor RM Packer Company has not as yet been promoting it, and only a few enthusiasts have switched to it. Biodiesel fuel, made from soy beans, produces far fewer harmful chemicals in its exhaust, and it is made from a renewable source of energy grown on American farms. Environmentalist Lynn Thorpe, whose 1999 VW Beetle uses B100 (100 percent soy bean fuel), is so enthusiastic that she wrote The Times and invited us, "Come smell my diesel car exhaust." It is, she says, rather sweet smelling. Her car bears a sticker on the back window reading, "This car runs on soy beans." Proponents of biodiesel are particularly insistent that school buses be fueled with it, because small children are often forced to breathe bus exhaust when lined up for buses at the end of the school day. http://www.mvtimes.com/news/2006/10/19/soy_bean_car.php

Agree: by joseph50 on Fri Sep 06 04:02:08 PDT 2002; My observation matches Bruce's. I live near Philly, and I have seen but one 2003, and that was up in Jim Thorpe. Competition seems to be taking its toll.

350 suppose to knock? For 20 minutes+?: by nomoregm on Sat Apr 20 16:58:35 PDT 2002; When your passenger (a 50-year old with auto experience), sits inside your car and says, "What the hell is that noise coming from the engine", heard clearly over the SLP center-mounted, hi-pro exhaust thundering to speed, I hesitate to say, "that's just a normal noise". I think the confusion here is that the noise is variable among owners and ranges from no noise to outrageous knocking. If a dealer or a poster here says, "the ones that knock are just as normal as the ones that don't", again, I slap my forehead and say, "Duh, ya think?" I'll take a non-knocker please. And I don't doubt that some here "might" be getting 100K miles out of a knocker but I wonder if your performance is poorer along with oil consumption, mileage and emissions, etc. Do tell. Let's say we use the sound clip below as a water mark--which my 5.7 sounds like. http://www.angelfire.com/tx5/gmpistonslap/PistonSlap.wav Does that sound normal to you? If so, for what duration and at what outside temperature? Mine will go for 30 minutes at 30 degrees F. It continues, just-audible when hot. Nobody that has heard my car (incl. two engine builders) considers it normal and all tell me it is piston slap. Oby, perhaps this has been an ongoing problem with the 350 but my sister's 74 Camaro didn't do it (xcept when I was in the back seat with a black-haired beauty). I've had friends that would beat on new 1980's vintage 350's that never had it. And why are these sites, forums and dealer complaints only popping up recently? Why are most of the entries at the LS1 Petition (now apparently silenced), from model years 98-02? (almost all 5.7 liter there). (nomore takes deep breath...) Why are GM's own TSB's only now addressing the knocking (since about 2001)? Why have they only now proclaimed that 1 U.S. Qt. per 2000 miles oil-consumption is "acceptable"? Do you agree? Why did all the dealers admit there was a fix on order just prior to the "main office" issuing all the related TSB's except for one (3.1 liter engine): http://www.expage.com/gmtsbs The 3.1 liter is in the Malibu and GM is fixing or replacing those--why? Why am I concerned? I've had several GM service managers tell me it's because of the Internet. Is that it? Did the Internet cause Ford, Subaru and Jeep to have knocking engines also--whose warranties they honored BTW. Didn't GM have an assembly-line strike in 1997? Maybe scabs and disgruntled assemblers don't cut good blocks. I don't have all the answers. As far as the gambling analogy goes, I'm a crack blackjack player. I've read everything from Thorpe to Uston. I know how big a differece a small percentage can make. The Casinos don't offer warranties. GM, however, does. Casinos always pay their losses. GM, the largest and most powerful auto maker in the world, has (IMHO), found a way not to pay and they have egg (and lemons) all over their face. minikin, I hope that you will speak your mind here freely as I try to. I'll continue until I'm removed by our gracious hosts. I hope I add some perspective here at least, before I stir the soup.
