You'll be dead by then, Oerdin. I hate to bring it up, but that's a fact.

Dan is just upset that he'd have to replace his 1996 Guzzle-O-Matic 5000 with something that gets more then 2 miles to the gallon.Originally posted by BlackCat View Post

good riddance
crappy cars.
Toyota ftw. If I had to buy american I'd buy dodge. My old dodge truck (which I sold to my brother) is still going. 95 Dodge Ram. Over 110,000 miles. No major problems (knocks on wood). And the heat here is brutal on vehicles (especially a black vehicle which my truck was/is). Ford is doing well, and lots of people seem to like them. But the few months I owned my Mustang I wasn't impressed. I should not be having problems with a brand new car.
. Sometimes I miss the power of that thing (300 hp), but I have a feeling I would have inherited a bunch of problems.
The goverment shouldn't have bailed them out. If you make crappy cars, you deserve to fail. We really only need 2 automakers in the U.S. anyways.Comment

Well mostly because it'd make our investment in GM even more useless. That... and we aren't out of the recession yet.Originally posted by BlackCat View Post

Are you saying that the new GM should do as the old - that is making cars with low fuel effiency that can't compete with almost all other producers ?Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui View Post
About the recession, well, during the last year, here the price has gone up some 25 cents per liter without any harm, so I guess that even US can handle similar.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.

""As a privately held company, it's likely we're not going to disclose information except to the shareholders," Ray Young, GM chief financial officer, said Tuesday."
I guess this means they'll tell the US public everything, right?Comment

Why do you want to punish people for driving? Especially poorer people?Originally posted by BlackCat View Post
Gasoline taxes need to go up to cover road construction/maintenance and externalities. Something like 40 cents a gallon.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

And it's merely an expression of a wish. Obama has said he wants to have GM traded publicly in about a half year. Further, the congress will be on them like white on rice. Congresscritters have nothing better to do than draft long lists of pointless questions for gov't activities. Also, they will be getting a corporate cavity search in bankruptcy court (most/all documents will be public).Originally posted by DinoDoc View Post

Both the GM CFO and myself were refering to the transparency of the company that emerges from Chapter 11. I also got a laugh from them refering to themselves as a private company.Originally posted by DanS View PostI make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

Wonder if GM can spin this.
