    I can't wait for the Michael Moore post to bring out the wingnuts.

    @jodark: How much longer until you get the banhammer?

    @413wedge: GM and Chrysler bungholed themselves for the last 30 years. This is just the chickens coming home to roost. Without Obama, both companies just would have been in the same position 6-8 months ago. And real gearheads haven't cared about 90% of GM's product line for the last 30 years either. There's plenty of…

    @xenti: The H1 doesn't sell enough volume to make money. The other Hummers are just rebodied Chevys. The entire brand is stupid.

    @cmdrfire: Don't get in the way of his paranoid anti-government fantasies.

    @despisethesun: Yes, but you'd have to involve the intelligent commenters to get more intelligent comments. The guy who's only response to arguments is that his opponent should "read the constitution and read more history books" clearly doesn't have any well reasoned ideas, and has abslutely nothing to add to the…

    @Alfisted: Yes, but it has to be well-executed bland. GM seems to be lacking in that department.

    @Jo Schmo, *Now with 110% more garlic!: Except that wouldn't be at all in line with Saab heritage. I suppose that Koenigsegg could use Saab as a means to get a lower-price supercar to market, but I think we'd be more likely to see sportier cars in general, and maybe more use of AWD.

    @tekamul: Well, they can't fuck Saab up any more than GM already has.

    This is the best possible thing I can see for Saab. Engineer a little more excitement into their lineup, though the AWD, turbo V6 version of the 9-3 isn't a bad start.

    B-b-b-b-but the TAX BREAKS! IT'S THE SAME THING AS A BAILOUT!

    @Vkoslak: Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking too. It's not like things can get any worse.

    @acarr260: Well, there's plenty of ex-GM talent that can be hired right now.

    @Shawn Kemp's Lovechild: It's hard to say without knowing anything more about the bike than "80's Raleigh". But looking at it right there, in addition to the tires and tubes, it's going to at least need a new chain. You're probably also going to want to get a set of clipless pedals as well, or at the very least a set…

    @Shawn Kemp's Lovechild: Yeah, we really need to know exactly how much you're willing to spend. If I were you, I'd scout Craigslist for a few year old used Trek or Specialized for about $500-$600.
