That thing is the shit. It may not be on the level of the challenger, but when you see it on the road it is a head turner. The Camaro looks best in red or black.

Also the price/ performance ratio on that thing is out of control no matter what model you get.
 
Read some Plato, Linkin.

[/QUOTE]I'll never support a car by GM, regardless of how well made it is.
 
I just noticed they used a sandisk cruzer flash drive in Terminator Salvation. Nice to see technology has improved in a decade....

I really hope it isn't because of the government support and has to do with something else. If it is because of the government support you really should look into how these other companies operate. People love to blame GM for a lot of their own problems when most of their problem is that they compete on an unfair market. Japanese car companies have gotten massive tax breaks on cars they build here and they don't have an aging workforce. On cars they develop domestically the import tax is incredibly low and over there they don't have to worry about things like healthcare costs. They also have a system that allows for communal cooperation between their corperations which allows for the burdens of advancement to be shared. Anything like that over here would never work because of monopoly legislation. This is a reason why they dominate the electronics industry and American companies all went belly up. European companies also get around from the significant health care costs and they have had emerging markets, lowering trade barriers, and numerous other factors to help their growth. That being said many of them ended up having to sell to American companies because of bad economic situations over there during the past few years.

GM may not be perfect, but they do make quality cars and it is a shame that people love to heap blame on them. Most of the shit that does cause them problems are the government regulations that require them to make so many small cars that get high fuel mileage. No one wants these kind of cars but to get under CAFE they have to make them. That means they have shit cars no one wants to buy.
 
Looking at Amazon trade-ins, it seems they accept Final Fantasy 360. Isn't that a no-go since you have to register the game to the HD?
 
Yeah, none of the problems of the big 3 have anything to do with the vehicles they make or the decisions they have made.

That unfair market conditions you describe are the government's fault.

[quote name='CaseyRyback']Japanese car companies have gotten massive tax breaks on cars they build here and they don't have an aging workforce.

As they should be for the Japanese corporations.

[quote name='CaseyRyback']They also have a system that allows for communal cooperation between their corperations which allows for the burdens of advancement to be shared. Anything like that over here would never work because of monopoly legislation. This is a reason why they dominate the electronics industry and American companies all went belly up.[/quote]But that (from how you describe it--I hadn't heard of it before) happens in Japan. That's how things are there; it's still GM's fault for not being able to compete.

[quote name='CaseyRyback']European companies also get around from the significant health care costs and they have had emerging markets, lowering trade barriers, and numerous other factors to help their growth. That being said many of them ended up having to sell to American companies because of bad economic situations over there during the past few years. [/quote]Second time you mentioned healthcare. What does that they're foreign companies have to do with healthcare costs? I thought that (at least for now...) it was a company's prerogative to decide whether or not to provide healthcare.

If you're talking about the absolutely DISGUSTING power UAW has over the company, I'll point you to the government again. They are the ones that gave them all that leverage.

The quality of the cars is irrelevant in this situation. I just will never support a company that's been nationalized. Sure, GM may have been destroyed by the government, which is really rather unfortunate, but their collapse should have been mediated with a bankruptcy court rather than with 50+ billion of our dollars and a bankruptcy court.
 
What is happening now is exactly what happened in the 70s during the oil embargo, except this time the foreign companies already had more of a foothold in the market than they did back then. GM, Ford, Chrysler have all had time to adapt, but as usual were too slow to do so.

And i laugh every time somebody tells me to buy American, my old GMC truck was made in Canada for fuck sake...
 
I'm almost through the first season of Heroes. Does the Nikki character get any better, because right now it's terrible/cliche.
 
[quote name='lordwow']So a guy who lives down the street from me killed another guy.

They were downtown and the neighbor had his dog chasing people around and trying to bite them, so someone walked up to him and told him he needs to leash his dog. So the neighbor dude punched him in the face and the guy died.

Today he was arraigned and the judge asked him why he didn't just leash the dog and why he felt it was necessary to attack the other guy and he responded "I didn't want to look like a $$$"[/QUOTE]Thats super pimp.
 
Finally got around to setting up that 360 Harmony refurb from Amazon.

fucking slick.

No.

Do yourself a favor and stop after Season 1 ends. It's all downhill from there.
 
Finally tried that new blue MD Game Fuel today. Wasnt bad but I prefer the red Halo version.

Local Tarjay had a couple copies of FEAR 2 for $12. Picked up one for myself and another to flip for GS's b2g1 deal this weekend.

Good day today.
 
[quote name='DarthPuma']At least in prison he'll be known as the motherfucker who killed a dude with one punch. No ass rape for that guy.[/QUOTE]Actually, my brother told me the murderers and rapists usually get their ass beat/raped alot more often than the dudes in there for DWIs, drugs, or whatever shitty crime they committed.
