I saw in the news they just came out with a Trillion dollar bill for that country. I would think it was time to change the evaluation. That is crazy that they have a note that high and it is only worth a few USD.

Mac's Suck, they screwed me in the early 80's and the piece of $h! CEO and his turd company will never again get a cent from me. Apple can die along with Linux, Solaris and Unix. DELL and HP both have sweet new notebooks that come out in April that are supposed to be thinner than the Mac Crap.

Sweet Deal, I told everyone DELL was good for a Deal!

Regeneration!

Wall Street Journal - Auto Task Force set to back more Loans, but with Strings. "President Barack Obama last month handed his auto-industry team a seemingly impossible task: to engineer the most complicated industrial restructuring ever attempted by the federal government, and to do it fast. With almost no experience in the car business, the team's dozen core members have undergone a crash course in the myriad woes plaguing the U.S. auto industry. Within days, just over a month after setting to work, they'll begin announcing decisions. Interviews with task-force members indicate that the administration doesn't want to let General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC slip into bankruptcy protection, a course advocated by some critics of the industry. Instead, the task force is expected to say that it sees viable futures for both GM and Chrysler, but only if there are sacrifices from their managements, unions and GM's bondholders. The team will also lay out a firm timeline for action." Over all I am very pleased with what I read here in this story and it seems that the right things are being done. I am not thrilled with everything and some of these bean counters clearly only see numbers and lack the vision and the common sense to understand the passion that drives auto sales and the need for this passion, but at least it does help with eventually Keeping GM and Chrysler and the millions of other people working at companies that supply these two giants working. Your Thoughts?

AIG makes me want to

Thanks Hyperv6 for posting 2008 numbers, would you have the 2007 and 2006 numbers for comparison? Thanks Dud,

We'll some will agree with me and other will hate me, but this product does have a place here. As stated for those with poor credit, it can change their behavior and get them to be more responsible in making their payments. Some people need this type of leash to change and become better citizens, responsibility is not always common sense to people and to protect the products they sell and the value in the product, this helps the companies. Now for those of us that are responsible and have credit, this should not be used on the auto's and if it is on a auto, then it should be removed if the vehicle is fully paid for. Lucky for me and many of my fellow C&G members we probably have enough skill to remove these bastard items and have our car the way we want it. Live Free and Die hard driving all the way to hell is my Moto!

Yea along with their bankrupt state income tax and moron free hand outs to the illegals. The state will truly self destruct in time.

This is as stupid as it comes, What about all the accidents that will be caused by the reflective windows???? Great we want to keep the heat out of the car so everyone gets their windows tinted with a reflective polarizing treatment and now you are blinded driving down the road by everyones windows. What a bunch of Idiots. Keep your f@#king hands off my choice of colors and window tints.

Yea GMC Man is an Idiot, He has no Idea what Cadillac is about let alone the premium auto segment. Probably one of these blinded by the lights, love Asian only morons covering up his embarrasment of driving a Coffin on wheels fit in with everyone gutless wonder as gmc man.

GM is probably saving money by not shipping in the 09 versions.

Linky is not working, can someone repost the video so I can see it. Sounds like a interesting view. Thanks in advance.

Love it!!! This will be successful.

Sorry but was that supposed to be funny? To me it was not, But to the Birthday boy, Happy B Day Again.

My garden is all ready for planting once the weather warms up here in Seattle. Let the corps rot for those that think they can control me! Personally I have my wine cellar stocked and with fresh veggies and beef on the barby I am all ready for a relaxing spring and summer. For now, I will enjoy my spring skiing, snowing hard in the mountains here, Let it Snow, Let is Snow, Let is Snow!!! At the end of the day another bottle of wine to open and drink.

Congrates, welcome to the Drinking club!

I see Hyperv6 says 100,000 units sold, Where? Here in Seattle, I have gone by the Kirkland, Bothell, Everett, lynnwood chevy dealerships and they all have ton's of HHR sitting on the lots but talking to the sales people they have been sitting, most of these are last year models and no new versions are being taken. No one is buying the HHR here in the Northwest. This must be a vehicle that is selling in select areas. Personally the HHR says I am old and from the past, the Orlando at least say's modern and I could even see this as an AWD version for wet and snowy weather. I have no other info on this as this is the first time I have seen the Orlando and I like what I see just like I liked the HHR when it came out also but also acknowledge that the HHR was for people who Wanted to relive the past style. IMO, If the HHR is profitable and truly selling 6 figure units, then keep it going, but consider what the fall off has been for the last couple years. If the HHR has reduced 30-40K units year over year then this vehicle has already lost it's shine and is probably only selling with incentives that rob the profit from the vehicle. At that point then it needs to be massivly updated or replaced. Does anyone have the last 3 years of selling for the HHR to validate if it is really holding onto market share or is it dying off as I suspect it is? Humans are fical and like change, keeping a model around just to resist change is like Ex Prez Bush and his Stay the Course attitude that did not serve this country well. If someone has the sales numbers, please post them to justify keeping the HHR or show that it is time to replace it with this Orlando. ciao,

Love the style, interior and exterior of the Camero and Challenger, but the Mustang is just Blah, nothing special. So far every Mustang I have looked at have not impressed me, especially all the rusty parts. I was at a dealership, Totem Lake Ford of Kirkland, WA and they had a Green Bullit on the show room floor along with a Saleen and a GTO and what I noticed was all three had rusty brake systems, looking under the hood, there was rusty parts on the engines. The tail pipes on one of them was rusty and I could go on and on about the poor quality. The sales person came up to me and asked me if I would like to test drive the only Real American Muscle car left in America that was the best in Quality that no Asian or European builder could match. We'll I could not disappoint the man, so I pointed out while others were looking at the cars also all the flaws I could see, less I say I never did get to test drive it, but was not really wanting to anyway. For those that would say why were you there? I was there doing a good dead for my 78 year old neighbor who wanted his oil changed on his expedition he owns. So I drove it down and got it done and while I was waiting took a look in the showroom and came away very dissappointed in Ford. Those that think their cars are getting better need to take off the sun shades as it was pathetic to see the exact cheap ass plastic vents in the escort, taurus, mustang, trucks, etc. It seems that every model uses the same vents, same radios, etc. People Bitch about GM doing cloning and yet you get the same plastic garbage in the econo box vehicle as you do in their top of the line 65K Ranch Ford Pickup truck or Expedition XL SUV. Why should a high 5 figure vehicle have the same cheap ass plastic dash components as a 15K car? In my book Ford is NOT getting it done with their cars, crossovers, SUV and trucks.

DELL ROCK, I have 4 desktops and a couple laptops. Yes you will hear horror stories but for the most part, DELL has been as solid as a rock. I would go with a SSD harddrive for at least the boot drive. They make your system fly. Good luck on the build or buying, I personally would buy from DELL again over building one and dealing with each part vendor independantly if something goes wrong.

SWEET, I will think Positive VIBES that someone in GM will wake up to this and realize where money making potential is. Surely not in the ugly Vibe.

I would agree with Captian on this, great options. Captain, what did you think of that SSD Computer Demo?

We'll I do not know how big you are if in tall or wide, but as a Tall person, 6'6" and 275 so a bit of width, I have always and always will enjoy my SUV's and trucks. Now with that said, you mentioned a fun bang for your buck that is NOT a Truck. New Trailblazer AWD SS. Trust me that vehicle totally rocks. Get it black, and have the polished wheels black chromed and make sure to Limo Black out the rear windows and 50% tint on the driver and passenger side front doors and you have a wicked fast ride. Course then you can go back later and add a supercharger or many other performance parts that only make it better. Course you could also go for: Denali SUV Luxury on the cheap but strong V8 for fun which can be kick ass if you add a magna charger to it. Buick Enclave can be allot of fun, add on of the turbo chargers to it to spool up and smoke. Dodge Durango RT, they are very cheap and rock with the Hemi. Jeep GC SRT8 Think mid size CUV / SUV or full size SUV and go for the custom fun factor. Personally I think you cannot get a better package than the Trail Blazer AWD SS!
