I was wondering when this would make it's way to SVTP...

 

[CaDDy]

Ahaha lol, advertising at its finest. op: [pulls up a chair]

 

[Kiohtee]

Oh, and needless to say a Toyota won the race. :lol:

 

[charba951]

Oh wow

 

[steeltoe]

Oh, and needless to say a Toyota won the race. :lol:

Only because BK was to busy blocking instead of racing.

 

[SVTStrikesBack]

Anyone notice what the emergency vehicle was that pulled up to put the fire out? I wonder if that will make Ford's "we own work" commercials.

I just thought it was funny...

 

[Camaro_94]

Damn. Lol

 

[Mr. Mach-ete]

Junk

 

[CobraBob]

Embarrassing for sure for GM/Chevrolet. I have never heard of that happening before. Imagine that happening on a freeway as you're driving home?

 

[Gray_Ghost]

It was supposedly because of the extra electrical equipment. My question: Where is quality control for a vehicle that will be seen driving by millions of people???

 

[ULTIMATE ORANGE SS]

THE announcers laughing made that so much more enjoyable.

Add that to the long list of things made by humans that catch on fire. This one car can go ahead and replace the 2013 Ford Fuzions and Escapes that were catching fire.

Every manufacture has these problems. Some individuals don't seem to understand when you have hundreds of suppliers it is not always possible to catch a design flaw or a bad batch of parts that get by a suppliers QC system. Some fires are caused by manufactures parts and some by supplier issues. I remember when a certain italian car had some issues a couple years back. Porsche has had some 991 GT3's catch fire. No manufacture is immune.

Every manufacture has these problems.

While that may be true, it's not as comical as when millions are watching while GM pedals their inferior wares.

 

[GOTSVT?]

Great advertising for Chevy!

 

[luke1333]

[TaraFirma]

while that may be true, it's not as comical as when millions are watching while gm pedals their inferior wares.

[Lambeau]

A rush to production with poor PPAP's. Way too common.
