What has your career in manufacturing/heavy industry been? I’m curious how you just know what does/doesn’t require a skill. Obviously there’s a reason GM hasn’t just moved everything out of the country. They've accepted the renegotiatings in the past, it's not like the union can force them to do anything. 

Honestly they should all have their Jalop cards revoked and terminated for neglecting the one true solution. Which is followed closely by the Chevy SS and Pontiac G8 GXP. FFS they're basically big Mustangs that the Cars & Coffee crowd will never see coming. 

You’re all fired because none of you suggested a CTS-V wagon or sedan with a manual. He can't fit a baby and his wife in the 911. 

1) This is slowly shrinking. For proof see the ultimate irony, US jobs shipped to MX being shipped to China and the Mexicans complaining that the Chinese took their jobs. 

When there are no jobs paying enough to buy the stuff what happens to those companies making the things?

You must be a shrewd investment advisor knowing a company with $8,000,000,000 in profits is circling the drain. 

Considering GM employees took massive pay cuts when GM was floundering and didn't really receive anything in return........ Also GM is making billions in profits, why wouldn't they attempt to get a bigger piece of the pie? 

If you read some of the reports the highest cost workers are what GM considers “skilled tradesmen.” They are making $35/hour and receive the majority of the overtime. So they didn't "assumed they could earn a good living with no skills or education" but thanks for being uninformed. 

You know the reason those wages are so high? Overtime and a lot of it. Also the average is skewed heavily by the 33% of union employees GM has being “skilled tradesmen” (GM’s own words) which makes then very valuable ($35+ per hour). Those same tradesmen are the highest receivers of overtime which further pushes that

The 2 weirdest problems I’ve had were.

You don’t know slow till you go from a Genesis Coupe to a Genesis Sedan R Spec (the 400+ HP 5.0 V8) to a Santa Fe with the base engine. My Coupe was in the shop for some small issues and I ended up 1st with the sedan and then a week or so later with the Santa Fe. That SUV couldn’t hold a highway speed in sixth gear

In the non moose infested portions of America that see snow we call that the "Dodging Giant Potholes Test" 

This article is SUPER reassuring as someone that HAS to buy a vehicle since their reliable one just got totaled out.  

Im truck shopping since I promised the GF we’d get a truck and my car was totaled plus my rental is up. here’s too many God damn options if your looking for a small used truck with 4x4 and V6 or V8 power. Although there’s only 2 options for small trucks with V8s.

Yes, I have their app on my phone and it's awesome. Does everything the Fitbit does and more plus it doesn't fall apart after 366 days. 

Only thing worse than car shopping is car shopping after your car has been totaled while negotiating with the at fault driver’s insurance company. Doubly so when it’s Progressive.

HHahahahah mine would randomly stall when you pushed the clutch in. I got so many disapproving looks for trying to keep it from stalling at lights and stop signs. 

Lexus with it's Predator face grills.......

No, just no.

Or the same amount as an original NSX with 80k miles! Except it's powered by a truck engine instead of an Accord engine.
