   The New Cars

   While my Z is in the shop, getting some body repairs, the other driver's insurance is providing me with a rental. Well, sort of providing; I have to pay $17 a day insurance, which adds up. Anyway, not really impressed. It's a 2015 Chevy Malibu. I opened the hood but couldn't tell if it was a 2.0 or 2.5 engine. It gets off the line OK, probably due to high tech stuff in the transmission. But my more or less stock '73 Z with AT would cream it zero to sixty or sixty to ninety without even trying. For that matter, I bet a '65 Chevy Malibu with AT and a six would cream it. Is that progress? Guess GM doesn't care. I'm sure there are a lot of great new cars, I've never owned a…

   What do you guys use to dry your car's paint? My old chamois is approaching end-of-life, and I just can't seem to find a good quality one at the auto parts shops in town. I could probably get a "good" chamois from Griot's Garage, but when buying a chamois, I prefer to see and "touch" it... I have always used a chamois, but know that there are many micro-fiber dying towel options out there. Last time I tried one was about 5 years ago, and I wasn't happy the drying performance. My car's no show queen, and get's washed at home, (no professional detailing). While she has a few stone chips, I'm trying to keep the paint nice and don't want to add micro-scratches when …

   Body Shop Wants Cash - Normal ?

   Maaco wants cash for the insurance work, about $4000. No cashiers check etc. Expected to just sign the insurance check (payable to me) over to them. No big deal, just seems odd.

    Gm's Business Logic

    This isn't about ignition switches or anything causing bodily harm, just a view on how business people think. I had to read it twice to be sure I understood. The words, not the logic. This product's value is not drawing the consumer in. We need to make it worse. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/gm-cut-chevy-gmc-powertrain-warranty-60-000-143947688--finance.html
