We're well past the point of "the private enterprise deal with its problems with private enterprise funds". Citibank's primary purpose is to move paper around and they've shown they aren't even any good at that, yet they got $30 billion and federal backing for another $300 billion in assets. They broke basic rules of accounting and basic rules of lending due to unbridled greed. GM's biggest offence is skimping on the interior plastics that automotive magazine editors wipe their hemeroids on and trying to fulfill the contractual labor obligations they agreed to in a different business climate.

At least it seems that they can be taught.

I'm on call for a week every 4 weeks, but for certain things at work, it's implied that I'm on call 24/7 since I don't have a backup. Fortunately, I get paid hourly. I can: Check my email from my work account, personal account, and personal business account. Surf/Moderate C&G Manage my work calendar, personal business calendar. Catch up on my blog reading via RSS feeds during my bus ride. Restart server processes remotely when they fail. Txt people with a full keyboard. Synchronise all of my contacts between work computer(s), home computer, and the google email account that I use for my personal business. Make a change to one and it will update all of the others.

Actually, I hate my blackberry.... but at the same time it allows me to get things done without needing to be tied to an office.

I'm not quite this bad, but close. But if you saw my schedule and the number of things I am involved in, you might be sympathetic. I have full on here from my blackberry.

happy birthday man

There is nothing special about their interiors either. They don't have a clear advantage over a G8

You're smartassing a cop in a situation where they are asking everyone the same canned questions. A simple "No officer" would have sent you on your way. Don't like the term dumbass even though in this case it qualifies? How about asshat? What you did was stupid, do you want me to sugar coat it for you?

PA still does it.

Pumpkin pie and pecan pies are in the oven. Me and the BF are going over to another couple's house.

Can you cite the law that is being proposed in the legislature? Do we need to have an "I'm just a Bill" singalong?

I suspect that you are highly wrong.

Dumbass, this has been going on since long before the Patriot Act was a tickle in George Bush's scrotum. I've was pulled over for a sobriety check back in the 1990s set up just in front of my street.

Tell that to Duesenburg, Cord, Auburn, Avanti, Oldsmobile (had the best of each platform when it was killed), Maybach

Saturn - yes Saab - sell it Pontiac - no

I'm sorry Dave. I can't do that.

You caught me on saying majority rather than controlling. My fault. Dodge\Plymouth Colt, Colt Vista, Summit, Dodge Raider, Dodge Ram 50, Stealth,Conquest, Laser, Eclipse, Cloud coupes were a joint venture, mitsu supplied some of the engines for just about every k-car and cloud car. So... while not exactly half, it's way up there. I really don't think Mitsubishi would have survived as long as it has without the ability to sell it's engines and to co-develop some platforms. And you pwned me on Nummi. I did think that all 3 were built there. Would seem logical to build the Matrix next to the Vibe, no? However, the overall point is still valid. The domestics and imports are so intertwined that the fall of GM... or any of the Detroit three... would severely damage the rest if not to the point of total collapse.

To GM's corporate culture, The only constant in all of your failed relationships is you. With love, Oldsmoboi

Well this would certainly be a unique addition to the limo fleet. We could totally corner the visiting Soviet dignitary market!

You seriously think the 300C, Charger (the actual Impala competitor), Avalon, and Maxima get crosshoped?

Because not everyone is a brand humping snob like you? I find it funny that you're a guy that paid for an Oldsmobile with a 35k base price when you could have purchased so many other "more worthy" vehicles. People paid 35k - 40k for Auroras, Park Aves, and Bonnevilles. The G8 interior is fine.

Lest we forget our forefathers and the consitution acknowledge the presence and importance of God. If not we would use an American calendar and a judeo-christian callendar. Lord knows, everything else in this country must be specially made to fit ALL people... It says no such thing in the Constitution.

The BMW 335i Coupe is slower around the track than a 2004 Subaru Impreza. BMW is obviously beyond salvageable. I've already warned you once about trolling. Keep it up.

You forgot to mention how BMW can have similar output from less displacement while ignoring the dual overhead cams and turbo charger strapped to the side.
