    I do too, but I think the added emPEEgees would be great.

    He made a claim about you, without being nasty about it. Claim was probably uninformed and could have been squashed with a simple, "I only have one account" or ignored. Probably the same outcome either way.

    But you decided to take it up a notch. Both parties guilty of silliness, both have some mud on em. You stated that you were educated and continuing it, but failed to prove it.


    I'm done here. Was just trying to help ya out.

    I expect the only reason to get a 2016 2.7 would be cost, no more MT.

    I figured fleet sales would be a good market to go after. I noticed my AutoZone and Advanced Auto Parts both have new Colorado pickups. (They are 4wd too, which I thought was strange.)

    Yes. Alot of public transit buses use diesel electric hybrid. Thats why some are so quiet when they are going slow.

    You didn't try to help me out.

    And you were being obtuse if you purposely ignore many of the other posts BlueT made in many of the threads in the 3rd gen section. If you want to see true condescension and immaturity, just review his 3rd gen posts.

    I was merely fighting fire with fire, but because I'm "new" here I don't get the same respect. That's fine, I don't care if other members don't respect me. I'm only here for 3rd gen news. And since there wasn't any useful news here in TW, I stopped posting but continued to lurk (and read it as satire much like what you did). That is until the false accusations.

    If your grand plan of gaining respect is to fight fire with fire, you'll find that you will probably end up getting burned. I don't care if someone has 1 post of 5 million. Gaining respect consists of behaving and speaking in a respectful manner. I'm not saying I embody the sentiment, nor am I saying that I have never fought fire with fire. I have simply learned this through a few conversations here. Just trying to help out the new guy.

    Well thanks for your help anyway, I appreciate it and I mean it.

    I also mean it when I said I didn't join TW to gain respect, never cared about that. I'm here to read on 3rd gen news and maybe contribute if I find something useful.

    Uses water as fuel. Admittedly, probably not a good seller in California right now, but I just kinda assumed a water powered vehicle would be electric, and not combustion.

    Is this incorrect?
