Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / February 2005GM to drop Quadrasteer option
"GM to drop Quadrasteer option "General Motors is dropping the innovative steer-by-wire steering system available on its full-sized pickups and SUVs at the end of the 2005 model year." I'd love to tell the GM Exec's I told you so on this one. Ed Another I told you so! "GMC sliding roof slides away "Envoy XUV didn't come close to sales predictions "So much for hauling grandfather clocks. General Motors has decided to kill the GMC Envoy XUV, an SUV with a power-operated sliding roof over the cargo area. The roof enables the XUV to carry tall cargo, such as a grandfather clock. That was touted in XUV advertising." Ed > "GM to drop Quadrasteer option > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Ed > Another I told you so! > > "So much for hauling grandfather clocks.

FWIW :) Cold water heaters, on the other hand...! (Why would you want to heat hot water? Most of us want to heat *cold* water so as to *make* it hot.) > > > I guess the GM engineers didn't realize that one can lay grandfather > > > clocks on their backs to move them...moved mine a few times that way [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > (Why would you want to heat hot water?

Seems to me a cold, water heater couldn't heat anything. > > > > I guess the GM engineers didn't realize that one can lay > grandfather > > > > clocks on their backs to move them...moved mine a few times that > way Now, I hear refridgerators don't like to lie on their sides. at least don't plug 'em in until a few hours go by. it seems the fluid has to re-position. <g. you can't fool all of the people , all of the time. > Now, I hear refridgerators don't like to lie on their sides. at least > don't plug 'em in until a few hours go by. it seems the fluid has to > re-position. The oil has to drain back out of the compressor cylinders, or you'll smack and destroy valves when the compressor powers on. >>>Another I told you so! >>> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > nate Uh-Oh! Done that too! Never a problem though (that I know of anyway). > "GM to drop Quadrasteer option > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > I'd love to tell the GM Exec's I told you so on this one. You don't hafta. The market's already done that. > "GM to drop Quadrasteer option > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > I'd love to tell the GM Exec's I told you so on this one. The idea was to incorporate the fly-by-wire into a land based vehicle! I guess it didn't work out as expected >>Hey, sh.t happens!....<grin> SignatureBBA ???
