Politics should stay in the threads labeled "politics" and since that was a political comments (that broke one of the rules put forth by the admins) I see no reason it shouldn't have been closed. And also,

Oliver Stone's "W." is coming out next Friday. ANyone have plans to go see it? I've only read a couple of reviews and they pretty much said it was ok and Stone even gave Bush a fair shake, it wasn't just a bash piece. I'll have to check it out to see.

Woohoo! Those retard-b-gone vitamins worked!

I dont even think an actual ringing sound is an option on my phone.

Swapping Chrysler for the rest of GMAC makes a ton of sense for Cerebrus, since GMAC cannot cost nearly as much to run as Chrysler does and a return to profitability will probably come more quickly from GMAC. Taking on Chrysler doesn't make a lot of sense for GM, unless they do want to gut it for Jeep (to dump Hummer) and Chrysler (dump or severely consolidate Pontiac or Buick) and Dodge Trucks (dump GMC). It gives them Dodge's customer base while alienating few GM buyers. It would also give GM leverage with suppliers, if they want to move to common suppliers, current GM and Chrysler part suppliers would be bidding against each other.

I saw a yellow NSX and wow, that thing was sex on wheels.

If you could find a way to drive that Caterham into the back of a big U-Haul, then deliver it here, I would reward you with cake. And money. Probably more cake than money. But that would be so cool to have, I'm jealous of that guy.

Easy Like Sunday Morning didn't last long, apparently it sent the wrong message So hers is now Anyone Else but You by the Moldy Peaches And my text/voicemail tone is not longer "PC Load letter, what the f@#k does that mean?" due to a small incident at my son's daycare. Its now a series of gunshots, because thats so much better.

The economy will rebound sooner or later. When it does, the credit market will re-emerge, hopefully a little bit wiser. GMAC will return to profitability, its just a matter of riding out the storm. Holding on to an automaker with slipping sales isn't nearly as easy because they'll have to invest so much to keep it operating. They have to pay all their workers and pay for all the bits 'n pieces that make up their vehicles as well as put money into R&D for future models and technology. That stuffs expensive, GM could absorb most of those costs a lot more easily that Cerebrus can.

50% of Alaska's Senate members and 100% of Alaska's U.S. Representatives are facing federal investigations for corruption. Thats 66.7% of their Congressional deligation. The other 33.3% was smart enough to sell property she bought for below market value and re-report her earnings records.

I was in the middle of posting essentilly the same thing as WMJ before I closed the wrong tab. My main point was the Cerebrus would be much smarter to try to make money in the future with GMAC than with Chrysler. Returning Chrysler to profitability would require a huge amount of time and money, while GMAC would rely mainly on the credit market and general economy rebounding.

I still flash nuns everytime I drive the Prius. Wait, that was a different anti-Toyota thread, I believe started by 68. Links to the two previously mentioned threads: I pray their cars blow up and they die--GM4life Let the Toyopet bashing begin Now, back to a potential GM-Chrysler merger....

You must be blind if you dont see all the Toyota hatred on C&G. GM4life once started a thread in which he stated he wanted to kill Toyota drivers, or something to that effect. The way I see it, Cerebrus never wanted to keep Chrysler, thats not what they do, so I wouldn't be surprised if they at least tried to feel out GM for some sort of sale/asset swap/whatever. GM could then use the Chrysler products that do sell while dumping the rest. They would have to keep at least one of the 3 brands around (probably Dodge, maybe Chrysler) to avoid having to pay out billions to close all their dealerships, even then Chrysler/Dodge dont have nearly as many shared dealerships as GM, so even closing down one sales channel would be expensive. Jeep would be a welcome addition to the GM lineup. Think of the alternative, Toyota could buy Chrysler.

Well, all the other lights worked fine until today when the turn signals and brake lights went out. After replacing several fuses (btw, whoever decided to put the fuse block perpendicular to the ground with a wiring harness in the way should be shot) the turn signals and brake lights work again, but the hazards still dont.

Invest in Ziploc...Bags to store your cash in so it doesn't get dirty when you bury it in the back yard.

This is how I know McCain supporters are nuts. Maybe it is just the few ruining it for the many, but McCain has recently had to defend Obama at his rallys. Telling people that Obama isn't an Arab, isn't a terrorist and is, in fact a "decent family man" Yep, they're totally not making Republicans looks like the party of ignorant rednecks.[/sarcasm] Edit: I heard this on Faux News last night but got the direct quotes from a CNN story. I'm questioning the validity of the quotes because the phrase "my friends" doesn't appear.

I haven't needed to use them yet, but the hazard lights on my LeSabre dont work. The turn signals work just fine, the hazards, not so much. I assume its a relay issue (similar problems with my old '87 Dakota) but I'm not sure. Everything else electrical works just fine.

I've only seen a couple '09s but the previous ones didn't sell that well around here, there are 4-5 that run around, but thats about it.

I've been thinking about getting one, but I know that if I did one of two things would happen. I would either play it constantly and never get any more important things done. Or I would never play it, making it a waste of money.

Sweet, more overweight RWD rental cars.

How the hell is it politically charged? It began in a Republican controlled legislature well before anyone outside of Alaska knew who Palin was. The retired prosecutor who issued the report has a reputation for integrity and a bi-partisan panel reviewed the report and voted unanimously to release it. There is not way the Republican controlled legislature was going to impeach her or penalize her in any way, so again, other than the truth, what did any other Alaskan politician get out of this?

Saw this at the Ford dealership last night: 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Coupe 3.1L V6 Automatic 29,224 miles Edmunds appraisal value: About $1,100 Dealer selling price: $6,995

She wont, this will just be a stain on her reputation.

The "Thatone '08" pins were sold out.

This is obviously a ploy by the Democrats. They knew that McCain was going to pick Palin, so they arranged for Alaska's legislature to hire a special prosecutor to investigate almost two months before McCain made the announcement of Palin as his VP.
