Exactly and you throw in a lot of Ja's, just like Pennsylvania Dutch. Speaking of which do you know what makes this sound? Klip Klop, Bang Bang, Klip Klop, Bang Bang! That's right it's a Amish Drive By shooting!

A going-away present for PCS
Sniff, sniff, that's just about the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me, thanks Mr. Fly. You'll miss me when I'm gone. A quiet PCS is a dangerous PCS! But fear not they have the internet in Europe!

The death of Saturn
My response! Thank God the Wilmington Assembly Plant broke free of the Saturn yoke, to become a real GM assembly plant again. Yes we make the hot Kappa cars now! As far as Saturn goes, blame Roger Smilth, Saturn was his baby, a baby that should have been aborted!

Lordstown Assembly
Just asking, I wanted to know what type of work you did at Lordstown. Don't read anything into that, that's not there.

Feeling Nostalgic
Now that I'm getting close to leaving North America for Europe, I started thinking about all the assembly plants that I have had some sort of connection with that are no longer here. I was thinking about all those jobs that were lost and the people I knew that worked in those plants. The following plants were more special to me than others. Arlington Assembly plant, TX - Where I started my GM career, it's still there. Terrytown Assembly plant, NY - Actually in Sleepy Hollow, NY. Beautiful place to be in the fall with the leaves changing color, the plant was along the Hudson river. Linden Assembly plant, NJ - Always in my mind as the S10 plant, I truely miss the people there as Linden was the sister plant of Wilmington when we both built the the Corsica & Beretta. Wilmington Assembly plant, DE - Always my home, we fought off the Lansing Automotive Division (LAD) together. When they said although we were the most productive plant in North America, that didn't matter anymore they were closing the plant down. All of us worked together to get GM to change their mind. We shorten the time it took to produce a car at that plant by half, in the end GM had to keep us open or look foolish closing us and keeping less productive plants running. It also helps that GM is incorporated in Delaware. We then became part of Saturn just to survive, now look, Wilmington was the first to break the Saturn chains and return to a real GM plant. I salute the people of Wilmington. Baltimore Assembly plant, MD - My 1st car was built there, and I was there whenever they needed help with what I do. I spent many a day and night there, sometimes weeks on end. I still see that plant as it was and some of the lucky people there moved on to the new Baltimore transmission plant. I miss the people of Baltimore assembly more than they will ever know. Doraville Assembly plant, GA - Making the the current GM mini-vans, but that sadly is going to come to an end. I especially will miss the people that work/worked at EDS there. You all know who you are. I wish I could take all of you with me so you wouldn't lose your jobs. The pictures I am going to show you of the Terrytown Assembly plant in NY will show you what happens to American jobs when you buy foreign designed and built vehicles. I've known hundreds of people who had GM jobs that no longer do. Sad, we are losing our children's/grandchildren's future. Soon the only jobs left in North America will be low paying service jobs.

Cast is off, the rest of my hardware that needs to be removed will be so, before I leave for Europe. Thanks for asking.

It's all relative. :AH-HA_wink:

The death of Saturn
It was assimilated and is now part of the GM collective as it should be. A few more need to be assimilated too! Resistance is futile.
