Camino LS6

It was a long walk (went past the project car and...) well, you lnow. Anyway, here's the short version since I want to put a bit more time in on the project. I see the potential here for a very, very, long strike. It may not come to that if the UAW caves early, but cave they will. I feel that the momentum and the absolute need are with the Big 3. I think that they have decided to have it out with the union, once and for all. It all comes down to how much grandstanding the union leadership wants to do before the fat lady sings. I truly believe that the longer the strike lasts, the less the UAW will get in the final agreement. Make no mistake, this is the contract that will determine the future of the domestic auto industry. Time has run out for screwing around and our automakers are ready to take it offshore if the UAW is stupid enough. In the end, be it sooner or later, the UAW will have to accept a new reality from which there can be no turning back. Without the flexibility to decide who, where, and how many, GM, Ford, and Chrysler have little chance at revival. They will demand that flexibility - and they will eventually get it.

... of the current strike? Mine after I take Arkus for a walk.

Very cool to see all five gens together!

This was posted before in a format that doesn't give the "Aveo -effect". Thanks anyway, PCS. K.C. : I converted BatmanVW quite a while ago. :AH-HA_wink:

I think that maybe the domestics have had enough and are prepared to weather a strike to squash the union this time. The UAW had better just be making a show for its members with a short strike, because this time they will be the ones hurt by striking. I have a feeling the the discussions between GM, Ford, and Chrysler were not the usual pre-contract negotiation consultation. I think they have decided to draw a line in the sand.

Only US plants are affected.

Complete waste of money and an eyesore to boot!

Well the jackasses have gone and done it now!

I love it when the Jehovah's Witness or the Mormons come knocking. They start telling me about God and I start telling them what I really think of religion. :AH-HA_wink: They leave quickly. It's great sport!

My usual minimum is 48 oz, of Wawa High-test per day. I'd never gain conciousness without it.

No sound on my computer - so I can't give a reaction.

Enough guys! I don't want to lock BV's thread while he still has plans for it. So PLEASE. act accordingly and stay on-topic from here on in. Take the fight to PM.

Have a safe flight, and good luck over there.

So the re-location to Germany is semi-permanent?

No sweat, I try to ignore most things unless they get out of hand and personal. I don't like playing "cop". That's why you will see casual warnings like the above - I hate getting "official".

<----- Dons "moderator" hat Let's tone it down now boys!

And: "I tell you this, no eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn"

Another line I love from the WASP is "I'll tell you about the maiden with wrought iron soul" The whole notion of a "wrought iron soul" is just so cool.

Could be, I never got into that "American poet" stuff. To me "stoned immaculate" is just part of a quote from Soft Parade: "out here on the perimeter there are no stars... and we are stoned... immaculate"

Correct! Sub-titled "Texas radio and the big beat"

Glad to hear that you've "seen the light!" Congrats, can't wait to see the pics.

Right band, wrong song. Hint: It is from the LA Woman album.

"soft driven slow and mad like some new language" Know it?

Lucky thing for the leather...

I'm all about individuality.
