SORRY LIVESTOCK!

What “roots”? GM simply purchased the brand name from AM General a mere 20 years ago.

This is all interesting stuff but the most surprising to me is the existence of a machine for doing what I was specifically told never to do, putting cold water in a hot engine. 

I thought the light show on a Volkswagen was on the dashboard ?

Any neither one of them could blaze a trail more extreme than a washboard gravel road.

It’s a foreign concept for someone that don’t actually own a car.
