Oracle of Delphi

Not to worry many car companies force their UAW/CAW employees to take vacation during June/July time frame, for model changeover, ETC, even GM, but Chrysler is forcing their White Collar workers to do it as well, no sense in them being there anyway with nothing to do.

I already know the answers to the questions before I ask them, it's part of my charm. :AH-HA_wink:

Po Dunk has a credit union?

No, other than the USA.

Aura.

My guess, you're from somewhere else, like me. :AH-HA_wink:

PSSSSST! Didn't you hear, you have to know someone, to get in. :AH-HA_wink:

I was born in Germany, my mother is a German national, my father an American diplomat, as such, I have dual citizenship, nine times out of ten, I travel on my German passport, not my American one. :AH-HA_wink:

I'm curious smallchevy what country are you from, I detect and accent!

Ya-think?

You might want to reconsider that, I grew up in TexAss, and as such, I have known how to use weapons since I was 11 years old. plus if you get to Europe you will find I live in a gated community here, I prefer them, keeps the rift raft out.

The owner has a funny accent, that car looks very much like an Impala and/or a Caprice. Oh and I loved how that RWD fishtailed in the driveway. Pretty car though!

Hey don't bring me into it, I'm as innocent as fresh fallen snow. :AH-HA_wink:

I don't think they announced the Hmmmmmm part, stick around, I'm sure they will.

Will you be saluting as it sucks your money down the drain at the gas pump too?

In a case of what appears to be semantics, Chevy has revealed that the Camaro will now be a 2010 model, rather than a 2009 model. The semantic part is that the car will go on sale in the spring of 2009, yet still be called a 2010 Camaro. The reason the car won't go on sale earlier in 2009 is because Chevy says "it would have meant a short model run before changeover to "10 production". So we aren't sure how the car could go on sale earlier in 2009 unless Chevy began selling it in the rather un-Camaro-like season of winter. We also aren't sure why it matters whether they call it a 2009 or a 2010 -- people just want to take deliveries of their Camaros already. And we aren't sure what sort of apocalyptic upheaval takes places between '09 and '10 production. Chevy: give us the Camaro. Please. Call it a 5150 or 10,000 B.C. model year car, we're not particular. To paraphrase the Bard, it isn't the model year that will be the death of us, it's the wait for the car. Just so you prospective buyers know, the convertible will go on sale a year later, in the actual year of 2010, and will also be called a 2010 model. Together, Chevy expects to move 100,000 units annually of the revived musclecar, if it ever gets here. Link: http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/12/chevy-c...model-not-2009/

I never thought I would witness the destruction of the Buick City Assembly plant, but I did, and I couldn't believe my eyes as it was happening!

Oh you poor thing, come to Europe! :AH-HA_wink:

Have you been peeking?

Got your cash ready?

Watch it, or you will end up in Hell with me! :AH-HA_wink:

NEW YORK - The cost of filling up the family car climbed to a record high Tuesday, adding to the challenges consumers already face with falling home values and rising food prices. Gas prices at the pump rose overnight to a record national average of $3.2272 a gallon, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. That’s a tad higher than the previous record of $3.2265, set last May. Soaring gas prices worsen the financial plight of consumers already suffering through a downturn in the housing market that has sharply reduced home prices in many markets and limited Americans’ ability to tap home equity for spending. Food prices are also on the rise, partly due to rising fuel costs. “I used to think three bucks a gallon was all I’d pay, but I keep filling up,” said Joe Gowans while gassing his Acura SUV in San Francisco one recent afternoon. “You have to use it.” A year ago, rising demand and a string of refinery outages had raised concerns about supplies. Now, the record price of crude oil is the culprit, propelling gas higher although supplies are at 15-year highs. On Tuesday, light sweet crude for April delivery surged to a new trading record of $109.72 on the New York Mercantile Exchange before retreating after the Energy Department and International Energy Agency cut crude consumption forecasts for this year. Futures settled 85 cents higher at $108.75 a barrel, a new record. Where gas and oil go from here is anybody’s guess. Many analysts expect prices to moderate, while others predict oil could keep rising to $120 a barrel, or higher. And with demand for gas expected to rise as warm weather arrives, analysts say pump prices could spike as high as $3.75 a gallon, regardless of what happens with oil prices. The Energy Department on Tuesday raised its forecast of how high prices will rise this spring by a dime to $3.50 a gallon. “I’ve got to say, if they ever go up to $3.50, that would be the point where I’d feel angry,” said Alex Magby, a Morrisville, Pa., resident who was filling up his tank near his New Jersey restaurant job one recent afternoon. “I’d feel cheated at that point.” Article Continues: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12400801/

Some would say, I don't have a heart. :AH-HA_wink: But I have been been thinking about that option a lot. The Pope this week named some new sins, one of which is any form of birth control. Damn the irony in that! Well I'm going to Hell anyway.

It's just a question, no more, no less.

How sad that I will miss it all!
