Damn, that was my guess too.

They are not part of the union. They walked out on their jobs. They can be replaced.

In my dad’s shop, when guys have been fired or quit, they take their tools THAT DAY. He doesn’t ask them to, they just do it. They know how much those things are worth and they’re not going to leave them in his shop. If these guys at this Cadillac dealer really cared that much, they’d have done the same.

My GM friends have been telling me for at least a year the current version of the Impala will be the last so I think it’s safe to assume that part of this report accurate.

As much as I dislike Uber, I’m in total agreement. It’s a ride sharing service, not a replacement for disabled transit. Seems like if 80% of NYC transit isn’t an option for disabled riders, that should be the area of greatest concern.  

The same guy who killed someone in a drunk driving accident back in college, and had his girlfriend OD and die in his house a few years ago was trying to fly a helicopter under the influence of...something? I am shocked.

I was watching the keynote and the way I understood it was the feature would work even if your phone was just sitting in your cupholder unconnected to anything, but I’ve been wrong before.

Me and a group of asshats I called friends in high school used to go to Wang’s Buffet every sunday after church and compete to see who got the most bang for their buck. The buffet was $7. We would divide the $7 by how many plates of food we had and whoever had the lowest number was the winner. These had to actual…

A coworker who was at the show last night said they closed with a cover of “In My Time of Dying” by Led Zeppelin and if you know the lyrics to that, well, damn that’s pretty heavy.

Haha, I think I know the bus stop you’re talking about. I lived at 13th and Sydney for 2 years.

As someone who lives in the Detroit area, I assure you there are plenty of dirt-poor white people out in the suburbs too.

GM loves the Nielson scores. The original “that’s not a Buick!” campaign was the highest scoring ad of all time on Nielson so even though most of humanity hated it, it tested well so GM just kept running it.

Ha, probably worse even. Never mind the fact GM is still the only one of the Big 3 to have their offices actually in Detroit.

Translation at the 4:11 mark: Roll Tide.

This is spot on. Hell there’s even a Seinfeld episode where Elaine gets company tickets to the Yankees game and gets kicked out for wearing an Orioles cap.

I’m just glad to know I’m not the only person who has that list of cars to buy just in case.

That’s really surprising if it wasn’t. As someone who also moved to Detroit in the last few years, I always assumed that’s why the car insurance was so much higher in the city. When I was living in St. Louis. The further you got away from the city, the cheaper the insurance. Even if you were living in a wealthy white…

Wasn’t me or my car, but a I had friend in high school with a Ford Probe who would swap out the shift knob with something different every month. Golf club shafts, baseball bats, pool balls, etc. The best was the entire front handle of a Razor Scooter. It was so tall, when he shifted to third he punched his rearview…

I have a feeling the parking lot being used as a dump site for VW may have something to do with this morning’s news that the Silverdome is now getting demolished.

Panoz had the center gauges as well and I want to say I remember driving a Nissan that had them at one point. Seems like that was a trend about a decade ago...and its mostly died out probably for a reason.
