Now its time to convince the U.S government to stop being such cheap bastards.


We all know what that means...

I am glad there is some North American government gives a rats ass about the big three. I wish only our US government would look farther than their own personal pork barrels and take care of what is right first. I've been a diehard GM man all my life. The big three founders are probably rolling in their graves right now.. Oh yea.... I could buy a Toyota.... BS!!!

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

Hey Mexico, you got Big 3 plants in your country. Time to step up also. Remember all the money NAFTA has sent your way. Time to return the favor, Por Favor !

Way to go Canada! It's good to see your government has realized it's got a very big vested interest on our car makers with Nafta there almost as much yours as they are ours. Now if we can only get Mexicans to cross the border and come over to our plants and pay them under the table were all set (Just kidding). I support the unions but they need to come to grips with reality, not all the employees are in the same level but the upper level of union employees are making a killing. We also need to remember the executives are also even making bigger killing. So everyone do your part and we may get thru this.

When we have other countries governments more willing to help us than our own, it really shows how screwed up things really are.

On a positive note: hats off to you Canada!
