I was thinking about this on my way to work this morning.  I pass two GM dealers and they have PLENTY of stock sitting there.  Especially trucks.

I can’t imagine anyone other than someone directly involved with the strike or their family members making a decision not to buy a GM vehicle specifically because of it.

accusations of financial misconduct has become an orgy of distrust and finger-pointing.

tldr, there’s still a strike, Nissan still sucks, tariffs still hurting US businesses.

Don’t they have around 90 days’ supply in inventory already?

The reverb off the buildings might make that the best spot to own one.

Also really interesting that they went with the under mount wing instead of the goose neck top mount design. Pratt & Miller definitely know more about race car shit than any of us, but very interesting considering just about everyone else has transitioned to the more efficient top mount design.

I can't wait to see it at Le Mans. Hopefully the FIA doesn't slow it down before it kicks some ass

I want to drive the super vacuum cleaner, itself, the Chaparral 2J.

(Admit it - you already want this more than whatever you initially picked, don’t ya?)

No contest, I will absolutely take the bonkers rotary engine Le Mans winner that sounds like an angry swarm of cybernetic bees. A very close second goes to the Chaparral 2Jvacuum racer.

Mazda 787B. Nuff said.

Came here to post this. GM had a 90+ days of inventory on dealer lots before the strike began, almost as if they’d planned for the inevitable.

Not only that, but two sentences later the article states that GM is struggling to sell trucks.  They can’t lose money on trucks that weren’t built if they weren’t going to sell.

Either the $500M number came straight from the UAW, or this analyst used to work for the RIAA doing calculations on how much money illegal downloads were costing music labels.  One download=one lost sale.  One unbuilt car=one lost sale.  Both wrong.

The strike has cost GM output of more than 8,000 vehicles a day, according to analysts at IHS Markit. With each vehicle averaging about $8,000 in earnings before interest and taxes, and the walkout affecting nearly nine production days, GM has missed out on as much as $544 million in profit, based on calculations…

That’s the correct take.

NO.

whilst i agree with this post

Cue the Denis Leary voice over “You want Super Duty? The only truck with high grade military steel. It’s not just tough pal, it’s Ford tough!”
