Camino LS6

Several recent championships as I recall...

I can't top that! Hmm, GXT runs a close second...

Nice catch, Moltar.

I should drive the wagon down...

...wherever you are.

Nice truck! Great job on taking care of it too.

C'mon you know that's not what I'm talking about, Mr. Distraction. And BTW, I disagree. But let's not go there, again.

I like that plan!

Another batch (I have more):

After a powow with the techs at the Chevy shop, we were all in agreement that the unit that switches from one tank to the other is likely the source of the trouble. I ordered a new one (expensive). Meanwhile, I have the truck about ready for ebay:

Don't you have somewhere else to go?

"And the man in the suit has just bought a new car from the profit he made on your dreams"

Agreed on all points, but most especially on Ruess.

Hey guys? Let's stick to the topic, shall we? No product plans, talk of budgets,recent history, and so forth. The question at hand is "what is Pontiac? Remember? Carry on.

Glad to see this topic is a big hit! I'm feeling pretty good about my earlier suggestion... Kinda nice when there is very little else to feel good about.

Detroit's new plan: Drive point to Congress Fuel-efficient caravan would roll to hearing BY TOM WALSH and MARK PHELAN • FREE PRESS BUSINESS WRITERS • November 24, 2008 A plan is taking shape for auto suppliers, dealers and the UAW to participate in a cavalcade of fuel-efficient American-brand vehicles to Washington, D.C., in December, when Congress reconsiders the industry's plea for quick action on low-interest loans. Advertisement The aim is to put a populist face on the need for the American auto industry's survival and to build grassroots support for federal aid, in the wake of criticism that the Detroit Three chief executive officers and UAW President Ron Gettelfinger did not make a convincing case during two days of congressional hearings last week. "There was so much misinformation in the hearings last week. I'd love to see something come to fruition where people show what this industry means to the country," said Carl Galeana, president of Galeana Automotive Group, which has domestic and import dealerships in Michigan, South Carolina and Florida. "I'll do whatever I can to save this industry," he added. The proposal took shape Friday after Tim Leuliette, chairman and CEO of Dura Automotive, a Rochester Hills-based supplier, broached the idea to Rick Wagoner, Alan Mulally and Bob Nardelli, the CEOs of General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC. Other supplier executives and auto dealers were quickly engaged in the discussion. "We want to help dispel the myths" about the Detroit Three, Sean McGuire, Dura vice president of marketing, said Sunday. "It's important to show that these are truly high-tech companies that produce a variety of alternate-fuel and high fuel-efficiency vehicles." Ford, GM, Chrysler and UAW representatives expressed support for the idea Sunday. "The UAW thinks it's great that so many people understand the importance of good American jobs and know the value and quality of American vehicles," spokesman Roger Kerson said. The goal is to bring together a group of 100 or more auto industry leaders and local officials for a rally in Hart Plaza in support of the loans. A cavalcade of hybrids and other fuel-efficient vehicles made by GM, Chrysler and Ford then would head to Washington, with stops along the way for rallies and news conferences. If the CEOs and Gettelfinger present Congress with a specific recovery plan as requested by Dec. 2 and appear for more testimony on Dec. 8, the cavalcade probably would begin on Sunday, Dec. 7. But the date and the specifics are still under discussion. Metro Detroit component suppliers and dealers are generally supportive of proposals for a bridge loan of $25 billion to the Detroit automakers to help with immediate cash flow needs, plus another $25 billion already approved for retooling to make more fuel-efficient vehicles. But many are concerned that Congress has a distorted view of the industry, which was exacerbated by the contentious exchanges at last week's hearings between the CEOs and some members of Congress, who criticized the CEO salaries and use of private corporate planes to attend the hearings. Many suppliers and dealers already have sent letters supporting aid. But they think that a more visible public show of support is warranted. In a letter sent Nov. 13 by Leuliette to President George W. Bush, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and members of Congress, he said, "The U.S. auto industry is an integral part of the American economic fabric. It has been aggressively and successfully restructuring but it has been caught in a perfect storm that caused an economic crisis over which the industry has no control. The crisis not only endangers that restructuring but the future of one of America's most important industries. "As a nation we are in the midst of the greatest financial crisis since the Great Depression," Leuliette wrote. "It will deepen if the auto industry collapses. Without federal loans that is not a possibility; it is a certainty."

I grow very weary of the imaginary economy of banks and Wall street. It isn't real, the money isn't real, their power isn't real, they create nothing, they add nothing to the world - simply put, they are parasites. The day of these paper pushing theives must come to an end. It is time to marginalize the "financial community" to a back corner of our economy and bring to the forefront those who actually add value. You know, the people who actually make things, or do real work thereby earning their money while adding tangible value to the world. "The market" should be pushed into the background permanently so that parasites no longer determine our economic well-being, that should be the province of those that do real things.

The car looks pretty solid, but he should have done himself a favor and cleaned it up a bit before the photos. EDIT: And he needs to hire a writer for his ads.

Just heard a news blurb that said 300 billion to save Citibank! Really? They think that's ok? Those idiots in Congress are giving money like that to the jackasses that built the house of cards and caused the problem in the first place? We Are Doomed

You are completely out of your mind.

Agreed. My favorite description so far.

Best summary ever.

Bad link.

No sound on my machine, but I think I can guess what I'd hear...
