    What was their old slogan? "When it rains, it pours!"

    Dealer said some of the cars are totaled due to the possibility of salt in the suspension.

    Tell ya what I'll buy three for scrap value than. [:D][:D]

    News video said some of the cars had busted windows and filled with salt, from the weight of the salt.

    Well okay I can see that would happen but how about all those bricks falling first with tons of salt behind them? I imagine there's a lot of brick damage hidden under the salt.

    Wonder if CarFax has a category for this sort of thing?

    Well, at least they won't get stuck in the ice in the parking lot.

    ILX?

    Bought a TL last spring, wish I would have held out for the TLX.

    There's a security camera on the wall of the building across from the mess. Wonder if it caught the avalanche?

    Yes, it's a ILX.

    I would like a TLX, BUT IT COMES WITHOUT A SPARE TIRE! OTOH, it does have a can of Sticky Inflator. For me, that's a deal breaker; if they think Americans will buy a car without a spare, that mistake will cost them big.

    The only deal breaker was the spare??

    Hell, the new Vettes run Run-Flats and are putting up some insane performance numbers. The C8 Z06 is unbelievable. Some of the most incredible tires are run-flats.

    10 years ago, I'd have been hesitant, but now I'd trust them.

    Morton Salt is my go-to ingredient for bringing out all the other flavors.

    If it can't be plugged with the goo in the can or gooey plug they need a tow. Besides what's the percentage that the "owner" of such rides will change a spare on their own? 1 in a 100?

    The Diesel Cruz comes without a spare. Just an inflator and a can of goo.

    The Diesel exhaust fluid tank is where the spare was in the other Models.
