3 - The article says it’s a pressure regulation valve. To me that implies that it’s expected to open and close as part of normal operation. It doesn’t sound like it’s a safety or emergency popoff valve that is designed only to open if something else has gone wrong.

I think where this gets sticky and maybe an exception to the first amendment is that a message on a license plate can be interpreted as a government endorsement. A license plate is issued by the state, it’s not the same as putting a sticker on a bumper. It’s subjective and requires a judgement call, and that’s always…

I grew up in TX where subtle differences were noticed and people that bought GMCs swore they were heavier duty with thicker better steel used for body and frame, etc. Sounded like boolsh to me and many other people but these conversations were had standing around in the alley King Of The Hill style and the standard…

I wonder if Geely would have bought Saab if GM hadn’t let it rot. I kind of doubt it. Buying two Scandinavian marques seems kind of crazy even for Geely. 

I’m too lazy to google but I’ve been under the impression that GM got in bed with Saab through some larger Euro deal and were kind of stuck in a contractual obligation/sunk cost fallacy that dragged out the brand’s death. It’s a shame, but yeah. Weirdos, even when they are lucky or kind of genius usually make good…

That’s what I remember the draw being. My uncle’s family bought 4 or 5 of them. They liked buying new cars but didn’t like being pressured by salespeople and were willing to pay a little more for that experience. Especially since other Saturn buyers weren’t able to pay less by negotiating aggressively. That’s what…

For real. I’d probably buy one if it had even just 100 more horses, but I’m just not quite that decrepit yet.

No shame, it’s a good looking vehicle. Buick has always been able to inject a little style into GM products when they made that the priority. When it’s sitting still you can almost forget that it has 137hp.

I’ve never been to China or anything, but I’ve been under the impression that for the first time since they went commie, they were developing an aspirational middle class that wasn’t being completely crushed by the government but still kind of needed to keep it on the down low. I don’t know where they are at with that…

Yeah I’m tempted to second-guess killing off the Firebird/Trans Am in ‘02, but given that they’d already done it...

I was sad to see these badges die, but not for sound business reasons. So it goes.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect GM to kill a profitable badge and tell their customers the GMC reputation for higher quality than Chevy is unearned. That’s just bad bidness.

OK I didn’t read it that way in the blog. Even if the applicant did not intend it that way it’s reasonable for the state to reject that. I am a donkey seller that identifies as male, but I wouldn’t expect ASSMAN to be approved.

I dunno. Is choosing a business name like for advertising purposes against policy? Would they reject MR PLOW?

Yeah as much as Trump disgusts me, FU TRMP should be deactivated.

nothin’.

I kind of like it. It’s like a Volvo Bertone Coupe except better looking and probably a terrible heap of shit.

jfc.

I read they are doing that again next year because TVR can’t afford dresses.

Modern GM drivetrain swap and i would pay $15k.


No I wouldn’t. But I’d like it a lot more and support whoever bought it.

When I was in college driving from Dallas to Austin I had a fuel pump on my ‘77 Triumph Spitfire stop running unless my hazard lights were on. I never found out why, it went away when I replaced the fuel pump. I still don’t get it though.
