I really like the song and all, but if you're in marketing, why would you use that song to market something?  Don't people look at these things?  You're trying to sell something, you don't need any negatives in your message.

 

Once again, Chevy's ad campaign is a day late and a dollar short.  this is why the Camaro is dieing.  :D

Well it's like dodge using aerosmith's just push play.  They combine where aerosmith went wrong to where dodge went wrong.  I guess they were hoping two wrongs would make a right.

 

 

But, really, they never seem to get ad campaigns right.  Pontiac does a good job using jimi hendrix.  I haven't seen the commercial yet, what  one are you talking about.

Not a lot of songs match up with what they are trying to sell...

but the best use of a song in a auto commercial was a couple of years ago when Mazda used Big Red Rocket of Love (rev. horton heat) in an ad for the Miata..

I don't watch TV too often anymore (just movies mostly), but I do remember when VW sure did have some catchy comercials with some catchy tunes.

Speaking of dumb ad songs-those commercials for Mazda (I think) that goes Zoom Zoom Zoom just flat gets under my skin.  They play the song as the car goes by then the little kid says "ZoomZoom".  Ack I'm getting mad just thinking about it.  Stupid.  Obviously it's not targeted to me 'cause I'd never own one anyways.   :angry:

Ya i hate that ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM ad!  Could they have picked a more annoying song?? I DONT THINK SO

 

I think someone other than dodge should have used that mayor of truckville commerical though..  *hint hint*

      Most say the oil temperature needs to above the boiling point of water to rid it of moisture and long enough to dry it. Many think that is about a hour at 212 F or more. Those people have never line dried cloths in a Midwest winter. Leave a pan of water sitting on the counter and eventually it all evaporates. So heat drives the time it takes. Water in oil under 175 F, the Nitration initiation temperature, is a minimum then for temperature and samples I've done that use Karl Fisher method say about a hour (in a healthy well tuned motor) over 175 F will dry it to under 800 ppm. Low enough to not be much of a factor. Motors with weak rings will take longer and the colder the air temperature the longer it takes.   On a cold motor there is also the condensation temperature. Blowby gases that contain moisture are subject to that cold cylinder wall, like sweat on a glass of ice tea. But also subject to the Law of Partial Pressures. Wear studies by GM and the DOD  indicate wear is a real issue below 85 F and a concern to 140 F but doesn't become a minimal factor until about 160 F. You know this intuitively when you see water vapor exit the exhaust pipe until the system gets above the dew point. It isn't magic, it's physics and it fascinates me. I know you didn't ask but....I over share sometimes. 😉    You keep the Camaro's high and tight.

      Move further away.   Benefit of living out - none of our cars get short cycled, plenty of warm up time.   Curious how much time/temperature it takes to drive moisture/condensation out of the engine?

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      Switch a a 100% synthetic trans fluid, Amsoil works for me.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      First of all sorry, I know there are a ton of transmission temperature threads...   My truck is a 2025 LZ0 High (10l89 10-speed) High Country with NHT max trailering package. The NHT package is supposed to have "enhanced cooling."   Normally the trans temp sits around 200. It seems like with any real stress it quickly jumps into the 220s (for example climbing a grade unloaded at lower speeds). I haven't towed much with this truck, but I'm concerned if it gets this hot unloaded.    I've tried a few different things to keep the temps down (tow/haul mode, sport mode, low range when that makes sense) and nothing seems to affect it.    I'm curious if others are the same behavior or if anyone has found techniques to keep the temps down. It seems like it just can't handle reduced airflow at lower speeds, even with relatively light loading.    Thanks!

      I'm at 105,000 miles on my baby Duramax. No issues yet. I hit 31 mpg's traveling through hilly terrain to a project in Colorado. I will buy another 3.0. I'm not concerned.
