For quick touch-ups of dust you can give it a wipe with the good 'ol Kozak cloth. That's what I use.
Points well taken. Just remember that all that oil we find here is not all ours. It goes into the world market. And when the world market drives the oil prices back up, one of the cases for buying...
Has anyone forgotten that GM has its second Voltec car, the Caddy ELR, coming this fall and that planning/design is already well underway on the next generation Volt? This is a long term program for...
Huh? I live in the Metro NYC area and there's a pretty stout turnout of Tesla's running around these parts. I really think this is very much where Tesla wants to be. But, given the that they can't...
First off, I don't understand why people come first to the forum for help when they have a Volt Advisor.
Anyway, sorry you're having troubles. Call your Volt Advisor and insist that a GM Voltec...
No matter what the problem, especially one that may have serious consequences, contact your Volt Adviser FIRST, then post here.
We're not the experts, they are.
It would take several pages to explain to you why they're doing it they way they are. You need to sit on my side of it to be able to get an idea of their reasoning in this case.
Um...as an automotive advertising creative professional, how do I put this ? I'll just go and say it.
You are not right about this. Sorry.
Chevy and their ad agency are very close to being...
Hardly at all. I drive my Volt pretty aggressively and I know I'm probably toward the bottom of the list at around 90 MPG on approximately 55% EV miles in the New York Tri-State area, which is still...
I'm pretty sensitive to brake feel, being an amateur race driver, and the braking on my Volt is totally smooth down to zero MPH. If clearing the disks and pads with a few hard stops doesn't work,...
For God's sake, just drive the thing like an ICE-mobile. Don't hypermile; it's way too stressful. You'll still be saving tankers full of gasoline and have fun while you do.
Also, remember that GM has reasserted its trademark rights to the "Electra" nameplate. At some point they'll need to provide Buick/GMC dealers with a Voltec product. Could it be that we'll see it...
I'm pretty sure they're headed to the docks for shipping overseas. Feels pretty darn good seeing American-made manufactured goods heading overseas.
Totally not worth it. Don't waste your money.
The strongest argument for the credit is to jump start the technology in the interest of protecting the nation against future energy shocks and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It would be...
One of the stories mentions that the Obama administration gave Detroit $5 billion to support development and production of alternative powered vehicles. While I totally agree that government...
I would've gone with the blue. Got red.
Sigh. The sound bite media strikes again -- and the low-information public laps it up.
GM public relations has got to get it through their thick skulls that anything that even smacks as being a...
I love how they blame the fan and not their engineering. Well, wasn't it their engineers who spec-ed in that fan and failed to properly fuse it? Their engineering is totally to blame here. Sheesh....
