jcaine Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: G500 reliability JamesG - 5/16/2007 10:29 PM JCAINE, Can you quote your sources on the "facts" about global warming? Hasn't been proven. The media has spoon fed you on the so called facts. Careful with the word "opinion". Don't confuse it with fact and judgement. You're joking... over 1000 scientists from all over the world contributed to the most recent globally recognized report on glogal warming... there isn't a SINGLE reputable and credentialiad scientist in the world that diputes it. FACT... not opinion. Just read... not media but scientific information available to you and everyone else from universities, think tanks, and respected sources. To deny it at this point is ludicrous and not worth my time to dispute. Live in denial friend, I'm doing the best I can for me and you. Let's not digress into insults and rhetoric... this is a good forum. For my part, I'm not interested in disharmony. J Caine | ||

ewalberg Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Past: San Francisco. Present: Germany Vehicle(s): 2000 g500 Posts: 1887 | Re: G500 reliability on thing worth mentioning is that the big gas guzzling motors are generally more efficient than any of their older gas counterparts becuase of extra gizmo's and eletcronics (and highway speed gearing) to make them more efficient. I do love my motor but i do sometimes wish i could see the ground through my engine compartment. I prefer the 90's interior because it's a little more spacious... not as pretty though. 115k miles with no real issues. It did surprised me once at about 45k miles with a fuel pump/filter failure. Little stuff here and there, but basically love it, love it, love it. If you're an honest gear head who does it all yourself and doesn't mind small motors, i think the 460's or very early 463's could be very nice for their simplicity. Part of mines charter is for taking me into the mountains so power at 7000ft and relatively quite cabin for long drives is something i quite enjoy. | ||

ufotwuk Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | Re: G500 reliability ...Well, on the subject of G500 reliability... I haven't had any problems with my 2002 G, ...which is supposed to be plagued with problems,...yet... but then again I haven't driven it all that much. I don't even have 10,000 miles on it yet, and the main reason is because unleaded super is so expensive around here in the SF Bay Area...it's about $4.00 a gallon these days...I just use my 4Runner with 220,000 miles on it as my daily driver, dog-hauler, and rolling office...now that's one reliable ride...Hope my G will provide the same kind of service. | ||

These anti SUV voices grow louder and more frequent. Some should hang out at a truck stop and observe the trucks idling for hours. Think about the number of semis on our roads everyday, where is the outrage. Or what about the commercial aircraft and what they create everyday nationwide or worldwide, but god forbid that I drive my Landcruiser without someone's permission Nothing short of arrogance and ignorance When I think global warming, I think Lemmings. Or the thing I do not understand whenever I go out to eat is that I always see an empty police car with keys in the ignition with car running. Those police cruisers, loaded down with all the law enforcement accessories, probably do not receive good gas mileage either. | ||

G wizz Elite Veteran Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Uk Vehicle(s): Dont own a G anymore, Too expensive!!!! Posts: 686 | RE: G500 reliability JamesG - 5/17/2007 3:29 AM JCAINE, Can you quote your sources on the "facts" about global warming? Hasn't been proven. The media has spoon fed you on the so called facts. Careful with the word "opinion". Don't confuse it with fact and judgement. biodiesel, can you prove where your biodeisel comes from ? because more and more forests in Asia are being cut to cultivate crop for biodiesel. ermmm but dont we need trees . Lets save fuel by keeping all our tanks, aircraft carriers, etc etc at home instead of in foreign lands trying to keep the peace. global warming has happened many times over millions of years, we are all on borrowed time, if its not now it will be later, where here for a nano second, I hate people telling me what I can or cant drive. Im guessing ive got 30 years max, im going to enjoy it, and in that time I will pay my taxes, stick to the law and hurt no one. | ||

Thanks... and cheers! I'm hopeful and cautiously optimistic... ;) interesting graph, the past 1000 years, you need to look at the last 50 million years, why do we look at the years we have been here, plant more trees, millions of them, but then thats not profitable is it, but biodiesel is,and ethenol. | ||

wcelliot Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: G500 reliability People that haven't dealt with universities or Governments always seem to assume that the science produced there is somehow "pure" while that funded by industry is automatically suspect. The dollars provided by Governments and universities to study specific areas drawfs that provided by industry... but only if the scientist conforms to orthodoxy. If "consenous" proved that there was no major manmade component to global warming, 95% of those in the field would be out of jobs. So how "neutral" is the science really? Be critical, use your own reasoning capabilities... but don't get lulled into thinking that science is ever "pure". Always follow the money... you seem to recogize that with industry scientists but are blind to it with Government/university scientists. I have an open mind... the possibility that they are right is very real... but the case has not yet been scientifically proven. And even if they are correct, the solutions proposed do nothing about the issue while very real direct solutions are dismissed out of hand because they fall outside of the orthodoxy. Bill | ||
