My interest in GM, and the site, has to do with my loyalty to the brand...and to the site. I've had exceptional cars from the General and I've had a lot of good laughs on C&G. That being said, if I was in the market right now, it would be a 2010 Mercury Milan or a 2010 Ford Taurus. That makes me sad. There is NOTHING in the GM fold I would buy. Blame: (1) bad decisions in the 1980s and bad quality control (past tense) (2) poor cost control and looming overhead issues and (3) MOST OF ALL: the CamCord crowd who bought foreign iron and never gave American cars another look, save an SUV/truck here or there...in some cases, partly because it wasn't cool in their area (coastal Calif, Colorado, etc.) to drive an American car...you got the EEEEWWW factor. Camino, don't throw in the towel completely. But, still, I know how you feel...

I bet the rental rates won't be the most favorable....at least early on.... They get a little bit more coin out of people to have that Mustang convertible in SoCal or Fla for a week.

I've been feeling kind of apathetic lately. My job is "just there." I live for the weekend when I can sleep in and then go out and do stuff or take a day trip. Right now, my trip to 2-week trip to Europe in early July is keeping me going. Why this sentiment? -Recession seems too prolonged -Friends have lost jobs and/or getting weirder with their own problems -Lost some money in my 401 that was in WAMU (not a lot, but still) - that bank has been a "staple," is at every major intersection, and made me my townhome loan in a Seattle suburb -Chrysler bankruptcy -Pontiac elimination -GM uncertainty Does it all seem like TOO much? How are you holding up?

I would have never dated the "Creature from the Black Lagoon" in the first place.

Hey, folks, the Regal turned 17 today. It's got 255,736 miles. It's now "legal" to watch R-rate movies. With 44,000 extra miles needed, I will keep it to try to make 300,000 miles for the hell of it. It's going to the car wash, before it gets too hot here today. Now, if you DON'T OFFEND too easily, here's a clip the car "can watch," so you can too - kind of in the same spirit as the "flying dildo" clip.
