Safe to say The Governor would'nt be there if it were'nt a positive. Or pseudo postive announcement.

Possible

[Angry Dad]

The posibilities are endless.

Who wants to start the most ridiculous rumor?

I say that GM is going to sell all the plants to Toyota and go non union.

Or.

GM has discovered the long hidden design papers for the Fish carburetor. Every car GM sells will have one and get 75 mpg and two thousand horsepower.

Sign me up for one of those!

Gov. Jenn will be passing out Chevette shaped valentine chocolates in a red bikini and will be giving LP dances as the Camaro appears and fills the hall with smoky burnouts........

'and we will be selling them for 19,995"........

Hey... No joke guys, this month's Motor Trend asserts that Toyota's "Goodwill" in opening a facility in Michigan will 1) reduce animosity toward the company (a.k.a. screw detroit some more) and 2) Persuade the "Motown Insiders" to give the new Tundra glowing press.

No joke... It's actually printed in there this month!

After reading that and imagining the visual, I won't be able to sleep tonight for fear of waking up.

Even worse is the thought of her gyrating on L Brooks lap.

No, it's for Camaro fans to date the Camaro.

Remember this?

I just want to rip off all that canvas and tape and have sex wiht this thing. I hope it spawns at least two RWD models for each American GM division. Buick, Pontiac, Chevy & Saturn!

General Motors is expected to announce it will spend $500 million to upgrade five Michigan facilities, bringing good news to a state hit hard by job cuts and plant closings.

The Wall Street Journal reported on its Web site that GM was expected to announce it will spend $500 million to upgrade the five sites, which include two assembly plants, one metal stamping plant and two powertrain facilities.

These would be Genuine New announcements? Not reannouncing the HFV6 for Flint? Or The X22f for Warren? Or the Lambdas for Delta Township?

Something new For D-Ham or Orion would be Genuine.

I hope It's not just a "Hey Look at me" event. Where they reannounce stuff, in a panic over Toyotas move into Michigan.
