Re: An aFe Intake System Can Enhance Automobile Performance

mastertechmark — Wed, 28 Aug 2013 14:50:30 -0000

Any increase in performance with replacement units such as the one described in Mr Pirilo's article would be directly related to the efficiency of the stock air intake system. Newer vehicles do a much better job of design and testing intake air flow rates. Therefore the older the car the more likely any perceived benefits would be.

Re: Google Penguin Update 3 Released, Impacts 0.3% Of English-Language Queries

I wonder if a data refresh will help people that made positive changes or at least took the time to clean up their in linking profile. Since I have never experienced a positive affect from an update I guess I'll just hope for no change and learn to live with the scraps of traffic I still get.

Re: Panda Update 3.92 Rolling Out (Or Is It Panda 20 Time?)

I'm getting use to these updates. It's like going in the Ocean. First it seems bitter cold and scary but after a while you get numb. What I don't grasp is the official numbers attached to the updates "Fewer than 0.7% of queries noticeably affected" Since webmasters are the ones who care can't we get a number or measurement that would tell us how much traffic the average site will loose? These queried measurements never seem to align with the devastation.

Well the new Camaro does look different but personally I would not say it is award winning. I actually like the Pontiac G8 better then the Camaro looks wise, and they are both built on the same platform.

This being the first week without the cash for clunkers program dealers in my area are scrambling for plan B. It would seem many dealers a employing a little word twisting and calling their new in house program Cash for Junkers. I wish them luck! Its hard to go from a month of good sales back to the pit of heartache.

As a car mechanic that shops for parts on the web I would like to say this is a great idea. Also when test driving the service I was impressed by the speed of the returned results.

The 2e is looking very nice. The improvements over the type-1 shows that the company is willing to learn from it's mistakes and flexible enough to improve its product. I am looking forward to a production model and actually plan to invest in a EV. my 20 mile round trip commute makes me the perfect candidate for such a vehicle!

I believed that scraping Oldsmobile was the right thing to do. But I disagree with the Saturn and Pontiac idea. The Saturn dealership in my town is doing quite well. And their different take on the sales process is refreshing. As for Pontiac, the best car I ever owned was a 1979 Pontiac T/A with a 6.6 Liter and shaker hood. So I am biased.

“We have to keep them alive because if we don’t the catastrophic problems we are going to be facing are something I don’t even want to think about,” We the people lead by Brad Pitt and of course Angelina can save our own and drive some cool cars at the same time. If Jenifer A drove a corvette and Brittney drove a Cadillac they could drive sales to the point that no further money would be needed from tax payers. Its called people power and its amazing! If the Government wants to help let them provide Federally backed low interest loans for qualified buyers.

I am a bus mechanic for local government. Ridership is through the roof. The county ordered more buses but the back log of orders from Gilig the (U.S. based bus builder) is 8 months out. Anything to do with mass transit and the suppliers of the hardware is a good bet right now
