  1. On this board, those making accusations that have not been previously discussed need to support their accusations with evidence, articles, links, etc.
  2. Good man! When you're apart for long periods like you two are, ya gotta slip it in when you can. edit: Oh wait! That's right! You didn't answer the phone the first time I called you back!
  3. Breaks Men's Will
  4. Well gee. I hope I didn't intrude
  5. When you take the honey moon and never leave the hotel room, that's when it'll kick in.
  6. Bob wasn't making those sorts of calls. He didn't make the call to kill Pontiac. He didn't make the call to sell Saab.
  7. I don't think Bob Lutz had anything to do with the decision to kill Saturn.
  8. GM Press Conference January 25th 2010 Drew Dowdell - Ed Whitacre called a press conference today to discuss changes to GM. Ed will be taking the helm of GM as it's permanent CEO. Mr. Whitacre said, "We've come a long way in a short time." GM will be repaying it's loans from the U.S. and Canadian government in full by June 2010. No change in direction of Saab wind down. No big changes, "I've been doing the job as if I were a permanent CEO" - Ed Ed will still be commuting from Texas but will spend a lot more time in Detroit. Ed wasn't intending to stay as CEO, but grew comfortable with the people and the company, and he got "sucked in". Ed will be both Chairman and CEO as long as he's doing this. No massive organizational changes. Ed as CEO is good for this country. "We're all motivated to the same thing, design and build the best vehicles in the world" Dealer arbitration won't effect GM's momentum forward.
  9. Add to that a capable 6-speed auto and there should be a significant performance boost over the Cobalt. No wonder it'll do almost 40mpg.
  10. Actually, the case was about whether we treat corporations as individuals or not. Edit: I wouldn't have nearly as much problem with the ruling if there weren't already so much media consolidation out there. Break up the media groups into much smaller "individuals" and then at least the playing field will be level. As it stands, this ruling means that we're going to have Glenn Beck turned up to 11 and drowning out all other voices simply because he'll get the most corporate money. Free speech is great and all, but what's the point if I can't hear it for all the noise.
  11. I'm going to diverge from SAmaldei and suggest that you might have a fuel injector issue.... and if not there, fuel pump.
  12. Cold weather? Does temperature matter?
  13. I'm guessing you have a 3800?
  14. like the buzz/tap sound that every Chrysler FWD automatic makes when decelerating to a stop?
  15. at the risk of this getting too political, though everyone here seems to agree in principle the court decision is bad, what do you think of one of the 6 new campaign finance bills that just popped up. 500% excise tax on corporation campaign expenditures.
  16. and with the amount of coverage that money buys. Spending $12,000 a year on some "influencer" tweeter will get you a lot more coverage and a lot more infuance than just buying ads in newspapers.
  17. This is more dangerous today than it was back in 1907.
  18. Opinions are fine. There are opinions and there is bashing. Not personally liking a car is one thing. Hoping for it's failure is another.
  19. Not February, there is something else coming for that month.

    Oh come on, you XTS haters are going to let Kia get away with this without comment? Those are some lovely RWD proportions there...
