  1. I don't think you had to be there on those days, but they do save your information and track your purchases for a very long time. I haven't used my card there in months but my number was stolen this past week. I'm just guessing it was there, since it seems like a high possibility.
  2. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/12/18/secret-service-target-data-breach/4119337/ I haven't used my card there in months, but this week my number was stolen and they tried to use it in the UK. I'm suspicious that this was the source, since they store your data for a very long time. Check your statements if you shop there, and be very cautious if you ever paid with a debit and PIN.
  3. He said Lambo, that's a Mercedes. The "unconventional" part of this thread is throwing me, because most major manufacturer new vehicles are pretty convensional.
  4. Yea, I know. But all of that guys complaints about the engine note would go away if he was in a 1.4L with optional equipment that's comparable to a GT. The GT is the new model though, so it's getting passed around the press now. I also just wanted to point out how awesome the Dart and 500 Abarth sound.
  5. I seriously hope so, because I think it would bring a lot of excitement to the model. But I honestly have no idea and there have been no announcements about it either way. I follow Ralph Gilles on Twitter and I think he gets this request at least once a week.
  6. Which is sad, because they're actually decent cars and a good value. The 1.4 turbo's sound awesome too.
  7. Won't be the first 9 - speed in production. If a Tesla S is unorthodox, then it automatically gets my vote.
  8. The point of concept vehicles is to gauge public reaction to new designs or features without risking a bunch of money on a production program that's a flop. It also let's the designers experiment with new or different design concepts. I think you may overestimate how much is actually spent on concepts. Many are just giant clay or foam models.
  9. Beat me to it. Ram is the only truck to offer a light duty diesel and 4 corner air suspension. Like all trucks, you can get a $24k stripper model or load it up with options.
  10. I've had the same problem, and if you call the number back it says it's disconnected. They rarely have the same number show up twice in my call ID, making it difficult to block.
  11. http://m.motortrend.com/oftheyear/truck/1402_2014_ram_1500_is_motor_trend_2014_truck_of_the_year/ Glad to see light duty diesel making an impact, and the new RAM's are awesome. The Longhorn package is a bit overdone, though, IMO.
  12. http://new.livestream.com/chryslerlive/autoramaDesign If you have a child, or know someone in high school that likes to draw cars, this seems like a fun event.
  13. VM was once owned 50/50 by GM and Fiat. Now it's wholly owned by Fiat.
  14. Yeah, a lot of cars have a weak link that acts as a mechanical fuse. I've heard stories of BMWs breaking from hitting a bad porthole, but the car is repairable.
  15. Example from a quick Google search. http://www.americanmuscle.com/eibach-proalign-bolts-9404.html
  16. I have the same one. Works great and I throw it in my basement in the summer since there's no gas or oil to worry about.
  17. They should use camber bolts, also called crash bolts, instead of elongating any holes by hand. Every thing Jones said is accurate too.
  18. The VSA light is most likely on because the wheel is so far out of alignment.
  19. I don't think any of the GM DI engines have this issue.
  20. I like it and it's a welcome change. I'm tired of retro and want to see more modern designs that push the envelope. I'm also glad they removed all the fake scoops and kept it clean. The 2.3L should be interesting.
  21. A store is opening at Easton? I may have to stop by when I'm in town after Christmas. I checked out a store in CA and was impressed, although I knew more about the car than the young kid working the floor.
  22. Apparently there were no skid marks until just before impact, and those were straight.
