Scantily-clad lady...........for shame.

Congratulations, Mr. ForSweden, Mr. darthd, and credit to Mr. Hermann, on COTD today! I have a Dodge Challenger for each of you. This lovely lady will deliver it to you when she finishes looking at the ceiling.

Here's a photo of a Ford Fiesta WRC, Ford RS200 and a Ford Fiesta ST to remind you that Ford is very good at making small vehicles that work in hugely impressive ways.

Ford is getting back at Navistar for the turd they made for the light duty Powerstroke diesels that cost Ford a fortune to fix or replace. This was the engine in the F-250/F-350 from a number of years back that had all sorts of problems.

Congratulations, Mr. dwaynesateamlunchbox, on COTD today! I would like to gift you with a Saleen Mustang which this lovely lady will deliver as soon as she buckles up.

Where do your sports teams play? What airport do you use? When a show comes to town where does it play? When you tell people who live outside of Michigan where you live whst do you say? Maybe you don't live in Detroit, but you live in Detroit.

Congratulations, Mr. Barnett, on COTD today! I would like to award you with a Corvette which this lovely lady will deliver to you if she can see where's she's going.

I work for a software company in the healthcare field. We have similar training documents here, as do pretty much every responsible manufacturer of consumer goods. I don't see anything wrong with this document — it's basically telling the people reporting the problem the correct words to use to ensure that (a) the…

A lot of stupid in the piece...nice job getting the clicks though. That's what modern 'media' is all about.

No! "Problem" is a judgement word, and does nothing to address the engineering — not legal — source of what is going on. The word "problem" is also wildly imprecise; it may mean one thing to a layman, another thing to an engineer, and yet a third thing to a lawyer, judge, or jury.

This is really nothing new. When phrasing possible occurrences in an environment with legal consequences, the description of "potential thermal event with possibility for injury and property damage" relating to exposing a fuel source to a heat source in proximity to people or things (e.g. fire) is the preferred CYA…

The word "Problem" leads to knee-jerk reactions and ultimately an inefficient (and longer, or less effective) resolution problem.

Also an engineer at an auto manufacturer myself. It's exactly like RB_XXV_Z mentioned: we aren't instructed to not talk about problems, we're instructed to get the full picture and solve…

The power point is obviously meant to prevent employees from creating discoverable records that an opponent in a lawsuit could use, and the presence of exaggerated, emotional, hyperbolic language in such records could be taken out of context and used against the company. Now, lets get to the definition of "ironic." …

Unless you are in the legal department at GM or a decision maker, you shouldn't be stating whether or not something is a lawsuit. Having worked in automotive, you'd be surprised how many things can be a "lawsuit". Hell I made a self-extinguishing fabric for use in automotive interiors to pass a fire standard.…

This is exactly what they were getting at. As an engineer in the automotive world, I can assure people that we don't tell people to not talk about problems, we just ask for a description of the issue instead of just "this is shit."

I dont think thats exactly the point they are trying to convey if anything they want a specific report of the problem not just some vague generalization. I see where they could be coming from, ya know in order to solve an issue they have to know exactly what that issue is not just oh you know this vehicle is a…

I have to say those bright fog lights have saved me a few times. they are useful !

Congratulations, Mr. Party-vi and Mr. jalop1991, on COTD today! I have for both of you an Audi TT which this lovely lady will bring to you as soon as she figures out how to get behind the steering wheel.

The problem with foglights isn't the lights, it's idiots using them at the wrong times.

Don't like 'em. I prefer all red lights. I see the case for amber; marginally safer and easier to harmonize a design for multiple markets, but they don't look good.
