The North American problem isn't with unions per se, or high labour costs. The problem is that the prehistoric labour unions on this side of the pond provide very little value for the high cost of labour. North American labour unions have failed miserably in their evolution, and the "us versus them" mentality they…

Both myself and Mrs. SSM think it's fantastic and she looks stunning. What a nice change from the run-of-the-mill, recycled shit. She looks great in that hair as well. I love Lena...

I bought this for $700. Actually, if you consider the Mazda Protege I was given for $0 and the sold for $500 to buy this, it was only $200. A $120 alternator rebuild and another $200 for timing belt/tensioner/idler/water pump and we're golden. Best $1020 I've ever spent. Comfortable cruiser, great sound system, lots…

Just a few days ago I passed three Foci (two newer and one older. perhaps SVT/ST's) on the highway with the same tape treatment on the front end. I wonder if this car belongs to the same posse?

I am in love.....

Haha... Funny review. I can see the virtue of the X/FE model from the angle in which he is presenting it, however I still find too much of the Cobalt inexcusable to give it a pass..

Ahhh. Nothing like the sweet smell of perceived obsolescence... Depreciation, you are my friend.

Woah-hoh.... Put down the booze and get some sleep, fella...

In 1997, while on a cross-Europe hitch-hiking adventure, I hitched a ride with an Italian dude in his early 30's driving an older Lancia. I had come into Italy from Austria, through the Brenner Pass and had traveled down the Adriatic side and then back up the opposite side, planning to go from Florence to La Spezia…

I'll just leave this here...

Pretty much every one of those is awesome, including the Lincoln at the top.. We lose...

GM, from its labour to its corporate governance, is still rooted in a pre-historic model that relies on cures rather than prevention.

I'd prefer the Ford route like Letterman and Newman myself...

You know what 4 out of 5 women are attracted to? My boxy old Volvo station wagon...

These cars were, are and always will be utter junk. The 1985 Hyundai Pony I once had was easily an all around better car. I've driven a few of the Pontiac/Chev models and that numb, hollow feeling driving these cars is eerie. How so many of these sold is really beyond me....

Same..
