Bruce, sometimes thats what it takes, go buy a piece of chrome at your local harley shop and tell me what that little gold tag says on it

I loved the old man, but not his kid,first impression, just by looking at him, stone cold drunk, the scotch type, his main advise came from Cheney who too looked out for his own interests (Haliburton) with the technology available they easily couldve sent in a sniper team and capped sadaam and his boys. i put the blame on the bush administration and what is killing our government is the total lack of bi-partisonship. money makes the world go round and i always thought to myself, what if i were put into that situation, what would i do? I tried to stay away from politics but couldnt take it after the state of the union and the boys on the left sittng on thier hands, this is thier president too and should do what is best for the country not for themselves

Threadjack...
Mr Lavine, I'm getting lost on reading this, for lack of better words, book of yours in this thread. As lost as your cell phone when I try to call you for a chat LOL!!

Ignorance is bliss.

Why even comment if that is what you have to say Ryan?

With regards to the HD2500, I am disappointed with the delay, but I am not in any hurry. The 2500 I work out of has 210,000 miles and still fine. I ordered the new one for assurance that my company has a stand by if one of the trucks goes down for any reason. I am not very excited about writing the check though.

I kept going back to the meaning of ignorance, intelligent but unaware, these seem to go 3 to 4 pages, when i was a kid you would hear things like, someday you'll be driving down the street talking on a phone, someday TV's will be 1 inch thick and you will hang them on the wall, every home will have a computer and you will be able to talk to eachother face to face..at the time i would say i was 15 or even 16 and just thought to myself that is impossible, never, all the things we could ever need are invented already. and we use them day to day, why would we need stuff like that?   that i think is what the definition of ignorance means.
ive been thru a couple recessions, this one is different, thru 18% home loans, I never thought i would see a black president, maybe ignorant. but as the end result this country was created, built to a super power, a beacon to the world because of the auto industry. we took a raw material and created a viable commodity and sold it creating wealth, strong government, 2 cars in every drive and healthcare that surpassed any in the world. personally if i was a single man no family, i wouldnt give 2 ***************s what happens, but i have kids and this is what they are going to be left with and they will see more changes than i ever seen when i was a kid

   
   GM's PLAN to take the market back from Toyota
   
   My wife had some excellent customer service at the Toyota garage today. Dropped the Prius off yesterday (20 minutes away)for an appointment that they contacted us about to have an update/recall done. She called today to check the status......We don't have those parts in stock yet,gonna be a few weeks. WTF? While it's here would you like us to rotate the tires for $19.95??......ummmm, No!

   Yeah I'm not really sure why that was a fail on their part Ryan. It wasn't the notice in the mail she based the appt on, the Toyota garage actually contacted her and said she needed to bring it in. Why, if they didn't have the parts, I'll never know. I'm not sure if it was the gas pedal/floormats problem or something else as I don't meddle in her car business. That Prius has been a thorn in my side since I came home and saw it in the garage where the Mustang GT used to be parked .

A guy who rents space from me bought a 2008 2500 duramax, about 2 weeks ago i noticed he wasnt driving his truck anymore, he swaps alot of cars from dealers and repairs them at my shop, long story short he traded it in for a 2010 camry, (his day to day workplace is at a GMC dealership) he got use to the 100k a year gig and the floor fell out. sn, im a kind gentle person and grew up around the UAW's and would never verbally fight or even fight about an issue like we are discussing face to face, But God damn did i ride this guy's ass all week. (jokingly) iwas saying "you what"? things to that order
Mike, I read somewhere that the Prius was being sold at a huge loss to American consumers to get thier feet wet first.

GM should better take care of the 10.000 employees they are gonna lay off in Europe...
The GM plant in Antwerp (the most efficient in the world...) will be shut down and other plants in for instance Germany are gonna go through reorganisations.

I caught the tail end of the report on the fix Toyota is doing. Looks like a wear plate someplace at a mechanical linkage. However, the report continued stating that other testing has also shown problems with the electronics so that's the "fly by wire" I referred to.

thats the best news ive heard in a year, hopefully its contagious

These are mighty tough words coming from a guy with 2 junk American cars in his yard, one in the shop and a TOYOTA in his garage!

Yes but didn't I hear the advertisment came off and was transfered to your Surburban at the train station??

Now both of you will literally need to check/cover your backsides. (body and auto!!)
