toomanyfumes S.E. Wisconsin Posts: 905Out of Africa was OK, probably best if you have small children. Ours loved the feeding giraffes, holding the snakes, etc. It was HOT, though. We were supposed to have a Fusion, but they were out. The Mazda5 was pretty decent: lots of room, handled great, sunroof. A little low on power climbing the mountains. I gave the manumatic a good workout.
jipster Posts: 5,345Just got back from Panama City Beach. Had a great time with the wife and kids. Wife insisted on going July 4th week, as the fireworks on the beach are awesome. But, then you get some knucklheads lighting off large bottle rockets the next 2 or 3 nights up until midnight. As you all know, Jip needs his beauty sleep.
The food was great. I had the grilled grouper at: The Treasure Ship Restaurant, Montego Bay and at Skampies(blackened). Portion at Treasure Ship was small... and thus disappointing. The other 2 restaurants were generous.
My 6 year old son had 7 holes in one playing miniature golf at Coconut Creek. The Gulf World Aquarium was weak and a disappointment ($$$). The Pirate Ship Cruise was great. My son and I teamed up to beat the competition in a go cart race at Emerald Falls.
Next year? Going to try Disney World. :shades: -

stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,396I've been to the Shaw Festival in Niagara on the Lake a couple of times and really enjoyed it. The little town itself is trendy with lots of good restaurants, and there's miles of bike trails there too. It's a nice diversion if the touristy stuff at the Falls starts to get to you.
The Martin/Frank Lloyd Wright house in Buffalo is interesting too.Moderator

euphonium Great Northwest, West of the Cascades.Posts: 3,35087 Octane, Chevron Gas in Blaine, WA = 3.20 (Pacific crossing)
94 Octane, Husky Gas in Whistler, BC = 4.65
The Blaine gas was substandard quality causing me to top off in Whistler. Averaging in the 94 octane with the so called 87 bought at the border increased the octane in the tank to almost 89 and that stopped the pinging.
At the start of the trip............
We filled up on the WA side of the Columbia and 87 = 2.79 -
odie6l Hershey, PaPosts: 1,082There is no such thing as a vacation in my future. I am looking forward on my next day off to go over the the AACA Museum here in Hershey. AACA Museum Funny, I've lived here in Hershey since '98 and have not yet been in there. :confuse:

toomanyfumes S.E. Wisconsin Posts: 905We'll be going to Vegas in a couple of weeks to see the Wisconsin Badger/UNLV football game. I'm going to rent a car for a day. Any suggestions for things to see? I know there' Hoover Dam, is there any other natural beauty to see that way?
I get a discount through Hertz, almost reserved the Shelby. 100 miles a day won't cut it though. Gonna probably end up with a Focus. -
toomanyfumes S.E. Wisconsin Posts: 905
fintail Posts: 34,523I got the A6 for $95, it was my splurge for the trip as I am not a big gambler Here it is at Red Rock. I believe Hertz rents Volvo S80s out of Las Vegas for something around $85-90 as well, probably a nice ride too.
toomanyfumes S.E. Wisconsin Posts: 905
fintail Posts: 34,523Excellent, good luck. I had a fine experience, more or less no wait at the gold club line too.
I saw those M35s, but I have a thing for German cars, so the Audi was the best (affordable - not like the $325 S550 from Dollar) option for me. It should also have Sirius radio and the somewhat weird Hertz navigation included. For someone who likes cars, it is worth it vs the price of a standard car. -
melanied Posts: 1Hello all, I have my plans coming up to visit Montreal in the next month. It is a corporate trip and I am in-charge of the arrangements there. We are having a tour of the city and since it is a corporate one, I need to arrange for the accommodations and the cars that would be used for the trip. I need some suggestions on the accommodations and the cars that I need to arrange for the trip. So, please do help me on this.
john296 Posts: 4I suppose that it would not be a difficult task for getting the sources that you need for the accommodations and car rentals. My friend was recently there in Montreal and he too had hired some car rental service to tour the place. He was there with his family and so had some long rental ones hired for his tour. You can check out [url=http://www.globarent.com] Globaret.com [/url] for the care rentals that you need for your corporate trip.
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,396We have top ten lists all over the place here and the Chronic Car posters are debating the merits of Chicago vs Boston and LA. So why not a list of the best big NA cities to visit? No extra points for driving through them.
My list of fun places to spend a few days would run something like:
1. NYC (the performing arts, Central Park, delis)
2. Mexico City (arts, food, pyramids)
3. Montreal (cafes, more cosmopolitan than NYC)
4. San Francisco (scenery, food)
5. San Diego (weather, zoo)
6. Anchorage (salmon bakes, mountains, outdoor stuff)
7. Vancouver (food, the Fringe, scenic, not too far from Victoria and Buchart Gardens)
8. Seattle (fish, gardens, ferrys)
9. Chicago (pizza, architecture, American Gothic)
10. DC (museums, monuments, plus crab cakes up the road in Baltimore)
Also rans - LA for the beaches, Guadalajara for food and music, San Antonio for general ambiance, New Orleans for food, booze and music, Buffalo for Frank L. Wright and proximity to the Shaw Theatre and Niagara Falls.
There's a city list at Mongabay to help jog your memory.Moderator

Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,199
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,396Harvard Square is ok. Maybe it's because of the parking ticket I got there in the 80's that cuts it off my list. That and the traffic (challenging is a good word for it).
We hit a dock on the Charles River for some sunbathing one trip and that was fun hanging out on. Then my wife decided to cool off and jumped in the river and I thought the 20 other people on the dock were going to freak out. If cell phones had been common back then, I'm sure a few would have called 911. We didn't know that the Charles was about as safe to wade in as Love Canal at the time. :P
We spent a few days there on another trip and stayed with an old college roommate of my wife. Her boyfriend almost got into a fight at a fern bar (the roomies old flame showed up and that didn't set well with the current flame).
But those are the kinds of trips you remember.
I need a San Diego fix - haven't eaten at the Hob Nob Hill for years.Moderator

with very deep vocals wonderful guitar and drums and even a great bass player
they're one of the more popular jrock bands in japan
MUCC is a very cool JROCK band. They're kinda metal. Unforunately I've only heard 2 songs by them.

4 Good little gameBrendcam | 11/11/2008 | See all Brendcam's reviews (7)This is a good game, ok the release has probably been timed wrong as COD and Resistance 2 are being released the same month, to be fair it is never going to compete with these heavy hitters. But i am an avid first person shooter fan and have played a hell of a lot over the years and this has everything you want from a game, ok the graphics are not as good as COD etc be but they are far better than haze's awful squared graphics, the storyline of pandoras box is fantasy but is put together quite well. Creatures are very intelligent and you must keep moving to keep alive otherwise you get killed quite quickly, the game has a lot of atmosphere and it does make you jump when you are in claustraphobic environments and something jumps out on you, the first few levels where you are in the city and everything is falling apart is very good and just looking around the wrecked city at all the creatures and destruction going on, it makes you feel as if you are there especially with the surround sound on. All in all this is a good game, it is going to be over shadowed by resistance 2 and COD but if blasting werewolves heads off with a shotgun sounds good then you definately should check this out!!
4 Severely Underrated GameRainykins | 25/12/2008 | See all Rainykins's reviews (18)This game hasn't had much attention since its release due to all the 'bigger' games being released and everyone seems to be consumed by them. However, when I saw the trailer and the previews of this game, it became a must have for me.First let me start by saying, if you are a graphic fanatic, and all you play for is good looks, then don't bother. This game does have good graphics but not to the extent that it will satisfy all the COD fanboys.Moving on, the gameplay is quite fast paced and the action is pretty intense. Every few levels you will be introduced to a stronger and sometimes eerier foe, each with different weaknesses and strengths. Your job is to find these and use it against varying enemies.The weapons are pretty standard, such as shotgun, assault rifle, pistol etc, but hey, it is set at the present day (so no lasers or railguns). Your melee weapon is a Fire Axe.But for me the coolest weapon is one given to you by 'Pandoras Box'. Your hand becomes scarred but glows after you kill an enemy to absorb some sort of energy. With this energy you can heal yourself whenever (providing you have enough energy) or use it as a shock wave to stun or reveal (invisible) enemies. Against some, this can mean life or death since enemies don't muck around and are on top of you, usually before you know what's going on.The story might be a bit cliché perhaps, with two sides, one doing good, the other doing evil but at least its a strong supported line that has stood the test of time.The game overall is great fun to play, with fast, powerful explosion filled scenes and missions. There is the inevitable sewer level that always gets you on edge, with lots of creepy sounds to make you that ever more cautious.To be honest I don't know why this has not had more attention.A great triumph by Atari.
4 not badtazzys | 08/06/2013 | See all tazzys's reviews (59)quite enjoyed this game and its now 8.00 which is a steal. I cant say that its a go back to game and once id completed it i didnt want to really play it again. but it was certainly different and it wasnt that easy either. there was plenty of gameplay and if you want a FPS that is kinda different its definately a good game and id recommend you get it.
4 goodyopeople | 05/01/2010 | See all yopeople's reviews (4)well it's very good game, good gameplay, not bad graphics and a good storyline the only major problem about this game is that it is that it is too short I managed to complete it in a night, good game though worth 10- 15 pounds
4 better than exspected!!!.pompey4life | 04/11/2009 | See all pompey4life's reviews (48)this is a pretty good first person shooter, it can be pretty annoying at times, with the way your swamped by to many enemies at once, but apart from that i cant find many faults, the graphics are pretty sound, not the best, but by no means the worst ive seen!, and the all round gameplay is enjoyable, and for this price a tenner, you cant go wrong really! give it a chance, youll be surprised.

Make a Shiver: Wolves of Mercy Falls movie.
If you've never read Shiver, Linger or Forever by Maggie Stiefvater then I suggest you find a copy and start with shiver. This incredible series has captured the hearts of thousands upon thousands of read all of different ages and walks of life. It is truly worthy of a movie which I believe Maggie Stiefvater should have full production control over.
A movie was to be produced but the Maggie did not have the power to make the film true to the books. So as a result the film was disbanded and this petition is now being created.

Los Chingones's Lou Ortiz on the python tacos that could soon slither on the menu
Lou Ortiz
Los Chingones
2461 Larimer Street
This is part one of my interview with Lou Ortiz, executive sous-chef at Los Chingones; part two of our chat will run on Thursday.
I come from a big, very Mexican family," declares Lou Ortiz, who grew up in Newark, the only son in a group of four kids whose mother specialized in Spanish-style cooking. "My mom never made a bad meal, and she never -- not once -- made a dry piece of chicken, and I've always admired that about her," says Ortiz, who's now cooking food reminiscent of his childhood at Los Chingones, where he's the executive sous-chef, working alongside chef-owner Troy Guard.

Still, while Ortiz appreciated his mother's meals, he considered the kitchen little more than a recreational playground: Architecture was his primary passion. "I always wanted to be an architect, because it's the kind of job where you can see the whole vision before it's even completed, and I always thought that was really cool," he says.
But Ortiz -- like a lot of chefs who turn to a cooking career once they've handled a knife -- soon changed direction. For his first job, he found himself in the kitchen of a Red Robin, and while he started at the low end of the totem pole -- as a busser -- by the time he left, he was a server trainer for the front-of-the-house staff, not to mention more than adept at flipping burgers. "I realized that I had a real affinity for service and cooking, and that this was the life I wanted to pursue," he says.
But first he focused on service: in the U.S. Marine Corps. "I remember asking the recruiter at my high school, who was also my assistant lacrosse coach, why he joined the Marines, and he said that he joined because he saw people who had more heart than he did turn it down, and that if he had what it took, that he should join because others won't," he recalls. Those words resonated with Ortiz, who soon learned that only two of the students in his high-school graduation class had signed up for the Marines. "That was enough for me to join," he recalls. "I felt an obligation to offer my services in the military and put my life on the line; I wanted to fight for something I believed in."
Between 2005 and 2008, he was deployed, off and on, to Afghanistan and Iraq, spending his downtime at the Newark base doing what he calls "busy work" -- and planning his next meal. "We all called it 'chow-to-chow-Sunday-to-Sunday,' explains Ortiz, noting that the phrase was indicative of "waiting for the next break so we could eat again." And he realized that food was more than just belly filler. "Food was camaraderie and an opportunity to be social and hospitable, and I really fell in love with the emotional significance that food held for me, and I knew I wanted to cultivate memories for other people," says Ortiz.
Once he'd fulfilled his commitment to serving America, he earned a degree in hotel, restaurant and institutional management at the University of Delaware, spending hundreds of hours in a campus-based pizzeria as part of his degree requirements. He advanced up the ladder quickly, starting as a general manager and then nabbing a promotion as the R&D director of the pizzeria's collection of stores, which stretched to Pennsylvania. But after several years "coming up with new pizzas and salads," he says, he noticed that he had the highest level of culinary expertise of anyone in the company, a lightbulb moment that encouraged him to "get out there and learn more than I knew."

No more SkyDrive for Microsoft's cloud
Comment on this storyRedmond - Microsoft is renaming its cloud storage service "OneDrive" after British broadcaster BSkyB took issue with its former name, "SkyDrive."
The two sides settled the dispute last July for undisclosed financial terms after British Sky Broadcasting Group won an initial case in a British court.
Microsoft said the change would be made soon but didn't give a date.
While the rebranding doesn't involve a change to the service's logo - two blue clouds on a white background - it does bring the name more in line with other company brands.
Last July, Microsoft re-organised its corporate structure to focus on providing both devices and services in a strategy it called "One Microsoft."
Its latest game console, released in November, is called Xbox One. - Sapa-AP

Because Notre Dame made some Michigan fan make this horrible website.
wow, that website is all kinds of ridiculous fail. it's a joke right?
2004 freshmen darius walker beats #8 michigan with two late TD's in South Bend.
we both have the same athletic supplier and they play games in San Antonio because they think they are Americas team.
They have an Irish Mascot but their name is French. WTF?
(I suppose Fighting Frenchmen might not be taken seriously.)
And the #1 reason.....
drum roll please
Because The University of Michigan is better than Notre Dame. End of story.
But that's not really a reason to hate them, is it?
The Luck of the Irish
They apparently have to rely on luck
This thread was so beyond epic!
Because no one has nicknamed Weis "The humpbacked Whale of Notre Dame".
What is up with bringing premade fried chicken to the tailgates.
They think their tailgates are awesome, when really they are just on-par.
Because one of their colors is 'Gold'...good one
No one mentioned the fact that their colors are blue and gold, but their fans wear GREEN.
Schools get to choose their school colors. They can choose any colors they want: red, blue, purple, tope, fuschia, whatever. But one they pick their team colors, THOSE are the team colors. But not Notre Dame...
A few missing ones:
Jeff Jackson
The Golden Dome
The Notre Dame Victory March
There is nothing better than watching Chaz take a golf cart to the stadium during the team's pre-game walk from the church.
I am youtube blocked at work so dont know if the video is imbedded to link above - but if you have not seen this video - watch it before the game this week and realize why we must, for all that his holy, win against the Notre Dame.
for #1 reason.
#1- They have a goddamned banner ad on this here site!
Because they were the first thing I thought of when I saw this picture:

Re: What was your 1st credit card?

Gm MasterCard, I have been an AU on it since I was 11. Looking back carrying around a 5k limit piece of plastic with no idea of what I had is kinda funny..and it confused so many cashiers that I stopped using it in new places because they thought I stole it and, being 11, I didn't carry around a photo ID to prove it was mine. So many awkward conversations, but I did get to meet a lot of store managers that thought it was kinda funny too. We weren't rich or anything but my parents wanted me to have a long credit file when I got older and didn't mind making me walk to buy a lot of groceries, rent a video from blockbuster, or order a pizza for them to pick up on the way home from work. My sisters credit was amazing when she bought her house, i think they started her at age 8, and the lender had never seen anything like it when they pulled the credit report. They also scared me to death about the consequences of misusing the cards. Fees for putting it in atms for cash withdraw, forgetting to tell them about payments resulting in late fees, etc... For me, messing with credit card companies was scarier than trying to ask out one of the cool girls. Thankfully now I understand how credit cards really work and I am not afraid to put in an ap or 2 or 3 when the time is right and thanks to them the CC companies like me.
Thank you for the story, I never even thought of this. But will start doing this with my kids to teach them about credit and establish their credit history.

"Poor GM...it seems like everytime they try to get back in the game, someone comes along and makes them eat dirt again. I don't care about how good a Hyundai's gas mileage is, or how amazingly stout a Toyota is. GM is an American icon, and I have owned three of them happily."
Bet one of those three was a Vega, one was a V8 diesel, and the other was a 468 Cadillac... LOL
I've owned 51 vehicles, sold Chevrolets for 3 years, and I'm on Toyota #8 and Honda #2. Just checked NADA.com and tradein value on my 01 Tacoma is $5000 less than I paid for it brand new... and the most that's ever been done to it by the dealer is a new shoulder harness (doesn't retract fast enough).
My last new GM vehicle was a 2002 Envoy with the I6. GM should have put THAT engine in the Colorado/Canyon... better mileage, more horsepower. WOW... just another GM screwup. Maybe if they offered a 10 year 100K warranty, they could entice me again... but it ain't likely! -
fatboy23 Posts: 8How do you figure better gas mileage, curb weight differences? Envoy I-6 gas mileage is 15/21 for a 4X4, Canyon Crew cab is 17/22 for the I-5. And the I-6 hits max torque at 4800RPM the I-5 hits is at 2800, so that is better for off road use and towing. I wouldn't want the
I-6 unless they made it into more of a truck motor, with lower RPM. I think the I-6 is a good motor but I have no complaints about the I-5 for what I need, I own a trailblazer and canyon. I also must be one of the few people who have had good luck with GM's, I had full size blazers with 200,000 and a 98 buick commuter with over 120,000 and a Taurus in college with 110,000, all no problems. The big 3 still needs a swift kick in the pants though, I am not blind to that because of my good luck. -
superglide Posts: 65I could care less about torque. If I wanted torque I'd buy a big truck with a diesel. Having just gone thru that formula, I realize that's what you have to have to pull ANY RV. I'm only concerned about zip and gas mileage... and most important, RESALE VALUE.
If someone paid me a million dollars, I wouldn't drive any of those vehicles a hundred thousand miles. I've owned most all of them (except the Buick) and none of them lasted 30,000 miles in my garage before they started having problems, or I was so bored with them I wouldn't drive them any longer. To be specific, I owned a 93 K5 Blazer, 97 Tahoe Sport, 97 GMC Z71 and 87 Sable.
So how do like listening to the pistons slapping in your Trailblazer and Canyon? Have they had to yank the dash out to fix the HVAC motors yet? How much have you lost in depreciation for owning them so far?
Oh, and I don't own the SuperGlide any more. Got tired of the chrome contest, and being associated with Harley owners. And Harleys are no better than American cars, except for the resale value aspect. I have owned an assortment of 13 motorcycles though, in case you want to discuss the pros and cons of those. -
fatboy23 Posts: 8Trailblazer has no piston slap, yet I guess, almost 50,000 miles and no issues besides the stated recalls. No HVAC issues either, depreciation is bad, but mainly because of the high gas prices and used lots flooded with ALL makes and models SUV's.
If you don't want torque in a truck then buy a station wagon. Torque is also great for 4x4ing, if you are talking 2x4 then like I said get a station wagon(HEMI?). I tow up to the 4000lb limit and low end torque is still better than high end torque, no matter how you cut it.
When I bought the Canyon Zip came after value, size, my idea of good looks, functionality for what I need, ..... and then "zip". If I wanted zip first I would have bought a Boxter S.
Why are you so mad for buying boring cars, that was your fault up front, not GM's?
Too bad about selling the Superglide. I don't play the chrome contest. I ride for myself, I gave up that "look at me game" after high school. A lot of Harley riders are nice people, too bad you stereotype them. I owned Honda's and Ducati's, yet love the Harley the most. If you are talking AMF Harley's then sorry about your luck, the 90's and on have been quality machines, and recently I would say Harley quality is finally approaching the Japanese bikes. -
bigfur Posts: 649Im just wondering if Superglide is mad at GM or just at the American car companies in general or maybe the whole world? If you dont like GM and American vehicals i have the same thing to say to you that i say to immigrants to complain about being here.... GET OUT!
To everyone else, have a nice day and a happy new year
As for chroming up the bikes... guess what, everyone likes their bike to be personal and look good. deal with it. -
ocmike3 Posts: 232So, what brings you to this forum? Sounds like you had a bad day and just want to complain....
Owned a lot of vehicles over the last 30 years; domestic plus Toyota, Subaru and Volvo. I wish I could say any were more reliable and outstanding than the others, but I really can't. I can say we've run most of the vehicles to over 100k miles before giving them away or selling cheap to a needy friend/family member.
My 2004 Canyon has >24k miles and I've had one problem - resistor on climate control fan board died. No piston slap or other anomalies; starts every time and goes when and where I ask it to.
If resale is high on your priority list, domestic vehicles aren't the way to go. Mostly hype (and little real data) keeps the values of Toyota, Honda, Volvo, Mercedes, BMW etc... higher.
Having, many friends and family that have owned Audis, BMW, Volvo, Nissan, Honda, Toyota, Saab, Jaguar,Subaru; few have had any better luck than I have with Pontiac, GMC, or Chevy. Repair and maintenance costs for the "foreign" models we've owned has been higher than the domestics, sometime quite a bit more.
Your opinion of "just another GM screwup" is just that, another person's opinion is that they are just fine or great for what they need. -
ocmike3 Posts: 232I've got 4WD Crew cab, I-5, auto: Currently running in 2WD(metro area gas is diluted w/10% ethanol in winter) I'm getting 16-18 in mixed driving, 21-22 Hwy. With regular (no ethanol) I typically get 18-19 mixed and push 24mpg hwy. I haven't monitored my 4WD mileage as it is sporadic.
flapperend Posts: 2I have the five cylinder on my 2004 Canyon extended cab. The engine has a whistling noise intermittently while going down the road, esp with gentle acceleration. My dealer has heard it, tried twice to fix it, and finally produced a GM service bulletin that said, and I kid you not, if the dealer can't fix it, tell the owner the sound is a normal operation condition of that engine. Anyone know how to fix this? Can you imagine any mfgr that cared about its reputation issuing such a bulletin?

leadfoot4 Posts: 593...my 2005 Z71 SLE, and have only two issues. First, the OEM tires were worse than junk. The dealer said GM was looking at options to fix the problem, but nothing ever came of it. I replaced them initially with Bridgestone Blizzaks for the winter, and upgraded to 16" Firestone Destination LEs for the summer. Tire problems gone.
The second issue is wind noise in the cab. Not an air leak, but turbulance like noise at the rear pillar of the cab. Many have mentioned it on this forum, and some have had cab/bed alignment issues which contributed to it. My cab and bed were "square" to each other, however I recently loosened the bolts and was able to shift the bed about 0.050-.060" closer to the cab, and close up the gap. That helped a LITTLE, however it's still NOISY, and getting really annoying, as I've driven this truck more than originally anticipated. My previous truck, a 97 S-10 was FAR quieter.
On the plus side, the ride is good, the gas mileage decent, and other than a defective dome light switch, it's been trouble free. -
gsp9 Posts: 3I have an 05 Canyon Crew Cab 4x4 with 12,000 miles on it. Has anyone had any luck in GM buying their truck back? I've had mine for 6 months now and it has had several problems both major and minor. As of right now, it is in to have the valvetrain and cylinder head replaced. The third week I owned it the internal clutch and transmission went. Plus I have had electrical problems and the usual tire promlems due to the General tires. All totaled it has been in the shop for about 3 weeks out of 6 months.
sarge57 Posts: 1greetings all...just found this forum...i have an 04 canyon and have read many of the posts here. the little truck has excellent pickup, but it's had a few snags..like
a reduced engine power display that occured 4 times....detroit finally had them replace the trottle body and that fixed that...but the gas mileage absolutely SUCKS.
i want an older-but-hardly used 2003 S10 with four cylinder and 5 speed back....badly.
BTW, has anyone noticed that the body of the canyons aren't exactly centered on the frames? passenger side tires protrude 1 inch to the outside; i have it on decent authority that GM acknowledges this...check it out..YMMV,
but all i've seen were like this. wonder if this has anything to do with the rough ride?

canyonblues Posts: 5I have an '04 gmc canyon crew cab sle 4x4 with 38,000 miles. I have had continuous check engine lights come on and the dealer said that they were misfires. After a half dozen or so, they then said that it was a clogged injector and that they cleaned the fuel system. Two say's later it was back in, this time they said they were going to replace the fuel injectors. They drove the vehicle for 250 miles with no light coming on. 75 miles later it was back on. Now they say that they did a leak down test and say that the exhaust valve spings need to be replaced. After reading about the valve train problems and engine replacements, I am printing these problems and showing them to my dealer. Cut your losses and sell, or if your looking at the canyon, don't buy, as you can tell, most of these messages are not good.
temj12 Posts: 450I am not a General tire fan, at all. When I bought my 05 in June, I would not buy it until I took it on the interstate and tried driving it at 70 to 80 to see how the tires were balanced. They are perfectly smooth. I expected the worst but they have been good tires. I had had them before on a previous truck and they were horrible. Don't be put off by them. Take it out, however, and push it to interstate speeds; up to 80 and check them out before buying.
vegascanyon Posts: 2I purchased a new 2005 GMC Canyon Crew Cab SLE 2WD with 5 cylinder in March 2005.
I have had only 2 problems with it so far after 36,200 miles. First problem that appeared after 12,000 miles was from tires that were feathering around the edges, and I took it to the dealer. They incorrectly said that it needed a front end alignment. This did not fix the problem. Later, I took it to my trusted mechanic, and he said that the problem was caused by the tires not being balanced correctly. Second problem appeared after about 6 months and 20,000 miles. It was a squeaking noise that occurred when the fan was spinning. The dealer replaced the fan motor because the bearings were bad. They actually had the part in stock which surprised me since this is not something that is normally stocked which leads me to believe that it is a common problem. Other than these two issues, the truck has ran flawlessly. In fact, I bought a new 2005 Honda Odyssey EX in May 2005, and it has had way more problems than the Canyon which really surprised me. I plan on trading in the Odyssey in 2 years or 60,000 miles whichever comes first. But, I plan on keeping the Canyon until the doors fall off. It is very handy for towing a boat and trips to Lowe's and Costco--for oversized items and bags of mulch. The truck is a little noisy when accelerating briskly but the ride is quiet and refined once it is at freeway speed. The factory General tires suck. They have no traction on wet pavement and corner poorly. Overall, happy medium between hauling/towing and fuel efficiency for a truck--21 to 22 fwy and 17 to 18 city. This is at about 2000 ft above sea level. -

Well I rest my case. Your experience is exactly one of those I read too often on here, and too close to my own experience with American cars the last 20 years. I'm not mad at the world and I'm not gonna "get out" of the US. It wasn't my choice to be borned here. If they'd let me immigrate to NZ or AU I would... but they don't want poor dumb americans :-)
And most of the 52 vehicles I've owned were GM products. I've had 10 Corvettes, 2 GTOs, 2 442s, 5 ElCaminos, 3 Silverados, 2 Tahoes, and I won't bore u with the rest of the list. I even sold Chevrolets from 71-74. It's not like I don't have experience in what I'm saying. Most of what I've owned the last 20 years have been Hondas and Toyotas, but I test the water every so often and buy another american vehicle, only to be disappointed. I don't keep cars 200K miles, because when someone comes out with something new and fun (which is what they do to get you to buy a new car), I'm in line to buy it.
And my 6 cylinder Envoy got 22 MPG consistently at 80 MPH, and one 300 mile trip I got 26 MPG... and one 60 mile trip I got 28 MPG... so why would I want a 5 cylinder? I actually liked the vehicle, but every month GM kept giving another $1000 rebate which just furthered my already bad resale value... and it was approaching the end of the 3 year warranty... and the dash had already been disassembled twice for HVAC problems... and I wasn't gonna own it out of warranty. I had it 30 months and 22K miles, and sold it for $10,000 less than I paid for it (not counting tax, license, etc.) and felt lucky.
My nephew just bought a new (leftover) 2005 Canyon with the I5... couldn't get rid of his 2001 Deville any other way but to trade it in (I won't bore you with the list of problems that made him get rid of it). I haven't taught that kid anything -
temj12 Posts: 450Has anyone had a problem with their GMC Canyon windshield? I have an 05 and I noticed tonight graininess in the windshield. It looks like grains of sand in the windshield. I first thought it was dirty and tried to wash it with the windshield fluid. Then I thought something had been sprayed on it, but not so. It feels smooth to the touch.
canyonblues Posts: 5Well, my vehicle is still in the shop!!! 10 of the last 11 weeks!!! The shop has replaced the injectors, computer, o2 sensor twice, exhaust valve springs, 2 coils for the #2 and #5 cylinders not knowing each time if that would fix the problem. They are now replacing the head as the valve seats are eroding in the #2 & #5 cyl! GM has put out a service bulletin stating that if there is a p300 misfire code in the #2 and #5 cylinders (vehicle is running lean), it's a good chance that this head replacement should fix the problem, if not, they said that they are going to replace the engine. If that doesn't work, well, they don't have an answer for that...what?! :confuse:

padfam2 Posts: 1I have a 04 crewcab canyon Z71 4wd. Does anybody know if they are fixing the a/c on these things? ive got a blk and blk and I bake! The a/c blows cold then warm cycling every couple of minutes Ive been told thats normal at the dealership. My mpg is around 13 I have the (5)cyl.auto)is this normal ? I traded in a envoy, that was a mistake this thing has no power!

ocmike3 Posts: 232The AC system on the Canyon/Colorado was/is a new system that used less than a pound of refrigerant. It has a hard time being efficient enough when the temps go up. I had (just sold) a 2004 crew cab and the AC seemed adequate for the most part(NW), but once it was into the 80's I was running it full. AS far as I know GM has no "fix".
I never had much trouble with it cycling cold to warm.... mostly it just couldn't put out enough cold air to keep everyone comfortable - back seat passengers did stay warm.
I got much better mileage than that. Typically 16-19 to and from work and 21-24 on the hwy consistently. -
canyonblues Posts: 5Alright, I finally got my truck back from the dealer and have driven it for a month with no check engine light. The head replacement seems to have worked.
For the person with the a/c problem, I have not had that bad of a problem, but it could be colder. The gas mileage is around the 17-18 city and around a solid 20 for the hwy. If the deals start coming for larger trucks, I may lease a Ford Crew for less than my truck. Still don't trust the Canyon.

Five years ago, I purchased a domain name from a competitor who was taking their site down. We simply created a 301 redirect from their site to our home page. Unbeknownst to me, the previous webmaster had built some very questionable links. I never added their domain to Google's Webmaster Tools because there was no reason to. The consequence was that I never received any warning messages.

Obama girds for State of the Union address. His Republican opponents do too.
It does seem as if a bipartisan breakthrough of sorts has occurred on immigration – no doubt prompted by the GOP's miserable standing among Latino voters revealed in last November's elections.
A path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who came to the US as children could be a first step, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R) of Virginia said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday.
"These are children, who due to no fault of their own, were brought here," Rep. Cantor said. "We've got a place all of us can come together, and that is the kids."
The imagery of children may play a role in gun control as well.
Recent shootings – especially at the Sandy Hook school in Newtown, Connecticut – may (stress "may") have cracked the NRA-led pro-gun wall against any new laws regarding the legal control of firearms. There seems the greater possibility these days of wider gun sale registration and limitations on magazine size – both of which are seen as reasonable and desirable by most Americans, according to the polls.
But administration and Democrats could have a harder sell on reducing the deficit and government debt – especially to the extent that Obama continues to emphasize the need for new revenues, including taxes.

Movable Type Now GPL'd
The blogging software Movable Type is now available under the GPL, where it is dubbed MTOS (Movable Type Open Source).
Movable Type is a widespread and comprehensive blogging platform for which a number of extension modules are available. It includes OpenID, can handle large numbers of users, and has been deployed by global players such as Boeing, American Express, and the Washington Post. The previous version was available free of charge to private users, but a license fee was charged for commercial use.
The authors of Movable Type point out in their announcement that this step is more of an evolution than a revolution. The founders of the software always supported the publication of an open source version of the platform. The license has always allowed users to modify Movable Type's source code.
MTOS is currently available as a nightly build, but work on a stable version is in full sway. This step by the people behind Movable Type is similar to the strategy adopted by Red Hat or Novell: the commercial products, Movable Type Community Solution (MTCS) and Movable Type Enterprise Solution (MTES), which mainly generate revenue through support, will continue to exist. Parallel to this there will be a free variant with developments flowing into the commercial versions.

A LiberalOC Exclusive: Great Park Forensic Audit WAS due Today; Won't Be Delivered Until 2014
by Dan Chmielewski •
Remember the hue and cry of the Republicans who took over the Irvine City Council about the need for a forensic audit of The Great Park?

The Republicans in Congress have succeeded in shutting down the Federal Government, having learned nothing from the shutdown of the Federal Government under Bill Clinton or the jitters of Wall Street from the summer of 2011. The shutdown is not about Obamacare so much as it is about the debt ceiling; the ability of our government…

CNN's Ashleigh Banfield interviewed OC Congressman Dana Rohrabacher and Tennessee senator Marsha Blackburn on the pending government shutdown and Dana accused the CNN anchor of doing someone else's bidding.

Pending Government Shutdown will be Blamed on Republicans

For the Republican Party in Orange County, California and nationally, "compromise" is still a dirty word. In the view of our friends on the right, "compromise" increasingly means "do things our way." No give and take, just take. As Congress debates the debt ceiling and the defunding of Obamacare, a new poll suggests that 4…

Aberdeen 0-1 Kilmarnock: Match Report
Jamie Hamill's injury-time strike consigned Aberdeen to their first defeat of the season as a 1-0 win lifted Kilmarnock's spirits following back-to-back SPL defeats.
The Dons had started the better of the sides but quickly fell away, and it was Kilmarnock who deserved the win with Irishman Connor Sammon causing the home defence no end of problems.
But Hamill netted the winner following a mistake in the home defence.

Nice cellar but at least the pastry and coffee offering is on a basic level. Lunch are supposed to be better.
Nice cellar but at least the pastry and coffee offering is on a basic level. Lunch are supposed to be better.
Not so expensive place and the fish I had tasted well. The place itself is little strange, perhaps more for a lunch or a coffee and not for a dinner. Got confused when to order from the table and when to go to the cashier.
This is a lunch place with a great atmosphere. Wether you prefer sitting indoors or out in the the sun. The lunches are tasty, especially if they serve white fish. The flavors are simple but palatable. The staff is really friendly and make you feel welcome. It is a plus that they serve coffee after you have eaten your lunch,... More
Good prices and an attractive simple menu in a good way. The surroundings are also rather laid-back and special
Had there a cesar salad with prawns. The salad was very delicious and cost about 17 €. Service and surroundings were rather average.
Had a nice dinner with girlfriend there two times. Nice place with fair price food, steak will be recommend by me. If you want to have a kinda important/nice dinner with friend, thats your best choice in Vaasa
The food and service is good and the atmosphere is cozy. They don't have many options to have with coffee, but for lunch it's a really nice place. During the spring and summer you can also sit outside.
Friendly service, very good food and nice place. I am going there to have lunch almost every week. Bathroom always clean.
Great quality food which feels luxurious as the produce is fresh and local. Great service, quick and very friendly. I also recommend their "Fredagskasse" - order before noon on thursday and pick up your take-away portion on friday afternoon. Great quality without emptying your wallet.
Chocolate cake was a bit overpriced and infested with white mold. The cake was replaced with another piece from the same plate, which the staff member said was from a more fresh cake. A simple apology wold have been decent.

The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Clinton's White House schedules revealing, not definitive
The 11,000 pages released last week shed little light on her readiness to be president.
andy nelson – staff/file
To a casual reader, Hillary Clinton's newly released White House schedules may raise a pointed question: Why does she want to go back?
Sure, living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. has obvious perks, according to the details of the 11,000-plus pages made public so far. Queen Noor of Jordan occasionally drops by. There are lots of references to "Air Force One" and "motorcade."
But – with the notable exception of the Clinton administration's healthcare initiative – the schedules reveal little about any substantive work of Ms. Clinton's White House years. They are instead the record of the drudgery that comes with high public life – endless photo ops, hospital and school visits, and commemorations planned out to the minute.
The record notes, for instance, that on Monday, April 12, 1993, at 9:50 a.m., Hillary Clinton (and Bill) received a commemorative Easter egg from the chairman of the American Egg Board and representatives of the Arkansas Poultry Federation, "on behalf of the nation's egg producers."
This was followed by two different receptions and then, at 10:40, a stroll to the south lawn, and the annual White House Easter Egg Roll.
On May 13, between 3:00 and 3:50 p.m. in the White House East Room, Hillary Clinton held a Christmas card meeting.

If you were an animator who was instructed to "Make a street that looks like it's in Paris," chances are you might not know what to do.

The software automatically looks through photos taken in various cities, and identifies the recurring visual features unique to each place. Read More
When completed in 2024, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be the largest, most sensitive radio telescope ever created. It will consist of 3,000 individual ground-based dish antennas, linked to act as one big telescope – an arrangement known as an interferometer. While their combined total surface area will be about one square kilometer (0.39 sq mile), they will be spread out across a geographical area approximately 3,000 kilometers (1,864 miles) in width. They will be gathering about one exabyte of astronomical data per day, which is twice the amount of data that is handled by the World Wide Web on a daily basis. Today, IBM announced that it has partnered with ASTRON (the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy), in an effort to develop computer systems that will be able read, analyze and store all of that data, and do so in an energy-efficient manner.

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone can help me.... I had really good credit history however recently I was forced to apply for bankruptcy as joint co-signer for my husband.
We already received the discharge but now my question is how soon after bankruptcy I can apply for credit card, who I can apply with...what to do in general to get a credit card?
did you reafirm any positive tradelines?
Congrats on your discharge. Glad you found us!
First off, the rebuild process should start immediately after your receive your discharge. I'm assuming you filed a Chap 7. 6 months to a year is way way to late.
Now step 1 is reviewing all three reports as has already been mentioned. Make sure everything is reported correctly, dispute items that are not updated.
Step two, Apply for a Capital One product. You could try for the secured card or one of the lower end unsecured products. Unlike many folks here I would also suggest adding Creditone. They have a $75 AF and should be cancelled in your 11th month.
Visit your local credit union and meet a loan rep. Ask specifically about their BK policies. Don't join a CU that specifically prohibits post-BK lending for an extended period of time.
Once you find a CU, open a credit builder or secured loan. At the same time you can take the secured loan money and fund another secured card.
Assuming you've played this right, you should now have 3-4 credit lines.
Once you hit about 5-6 mos of new credit activity, apply for a barclays product. You might have to recon but will be likely approved if you followed above instructions.
Do not waste any apps on primes. Citi/Amex/BOA will all deny you swiftly. Stay away from them. You can try for GE at about 6 mos as well.
Also direct future posts to the BK forum. Lots of good recent and old experienced folks there.
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO.

Also, the awesomeness of these cuts are very overstated. For the average player, they'll buy a chaotic for 200g over a burning for 500g. Only a min-maxer would pay more than that, so if you hope to make a fortune, hope you're on a raider heavy server.
The only thing this is "great" for, is someone selling the recipe.
Herb respawn rates up {WoW}
Feb 10th 2011 5:33PM Thanks for the stockpiling tip, champ.
Herb respawn rates up {WoW}
Feb 10th 2011 3:33PM They may have intended to buff it, but it can't possibly stay that way and it's probably a bug. The whiptail respawns instantly when you pick it, everywhere. It's the only herb doing it. The others are more plentiful, but not at all like the whiptail issue.
This will have some pretty big repercussions on the AH if it stays in. Being more plentiful than peacebloom, it will soon siydive in price (especially after this post!) and take down all prices of anything made with it as well.
Pretty big fail on Blizzards part to not have fixed it yet.
Ghostcrawler responds to heroic dungeon difficulty complaints {WoW}
Jan 12th 2011 6:03PM I'm fine with the heroic changes, then and now, only real complaint and what deters me from doing them or even regular modes anymore is the length. A vanilla-esque change I do not at all welcome.
One thing that has always bothered me throughout WOW, is that if they want those dungeons to be so difficult/challenging, why do you not see that at all leveling up? Don't think there's a game any easier to do that in, other than this one. Taming the seahorse quest was very fisher-price, for example.
Shifting Perspectives: The unbearable suckhood of pugging {WoW}
Dec 22nd 2010 7:51PM I have been avoiding just about any kind of dungeon run for now. Normal or Heroic. Not because they are hard or challenging, I am totally fine with wiping and taking my time - it's the horrible nasty attitudes from people. I've never seen so many players in this game with such piss poor attitudes....that includes all the baddies and the "pros".
WoW Rookie: Dungeoneering 101 {WoW}
Dec 16th 2010 5:54PM About saying hi...yes! It's completely weird to me that no one says a word the entire time, from level 12 to 85. It's somewhat creepy, even.
Also, tank/healers, don't bother joining dungeons in progress...they likely lost their tank/healer for a headache-inducing reason.
Breakfast Topic: Will you be buying either of the new vanity pets? {WoW}
Nov 30th 2010 9:26AM Wow, how many times are you commenters going to say Rag isn't for charity?
Got the moonkin. I justify it nearly the opposite way of everyone else - if I can afford 15 a month for 4 years, I can afford another 10 bucks for a cutie moonie.
Bad news: No race changes to new race/class combos until Dec. 7th {WoW}
Nov 22nd 2010 6:10PM Nah, I'd say those of those who've spent years staring at furry tails, awkward horns, and not fitting in doorways have earned it a bit more. Especially the ladies...though I will miss my dance.
Breakfast Topic: Why don't you RP? {WoW}
Jul 20th 2010 11:11AM Perhaps it was just the server at the time -- MoonGuard, but I found most of the roleplayers to be snobby and judgmental of anyone new to roleplaying who was making a genuine effort to participate. Kills any interest in trying.
I see people say all the time that the reason RP is bad is because there's so many who don't do it on the RP servers, griefers, etc. If those of you who DO roleplay would actually do it outside of your tight-knit closed-up guilds, perhaps you'd see and encourage more activity.
