Germany to ask for Opel bailout (GM owned - even more of your tax dollars at work...)
Long time girlfriend of the horndog. In addition, a few years ago she developed breast cancer and crossed the border for treatment in the US. I guess the 18 month wait for that great Canadian health care wasn't attractive to her.
That looks nice I won’t deny it. I guess Opel just hasn’t crossed my automotive radar very much. I’m more of a truck and SUV kind of guy so Toyota and Nissan are the foreign companies that have caught my attention. If I could afford one I would get a Honda Ridgeline now.
Magna International owns three racetracks in Maryland, and has filed for bankruptcy protection.
Q: How can that company be involved in ANY more financing?
A: Only if it is newly “printed” money guarenteed by the Obama mob in DC.
This is KA-RAZY Stuff happenin’!!!
I cannot, for the life of me, understand why GM is getting rid of a division that designs good cars. Must be the first fruits of socialism.

History
Magna Entertainment Corporation (MEC) was created in 1999 by parent company Magna International Inc. Magna International, a major automotive supplier based in Ontario, Canada, underwent a corporate reorganization in which its non-automotive businesses and interests were transferred to MEC. In March, 2000, Magna International distributed shares in its new division to its current stockholders, establishing MEC as a separate public company.[3] Recently, Chairman and CEO Frank Stronach's dream of building a racing empire came crashing down when Magna Entertainment filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Actuall it's Magna entertainment Co...which was spun away from Magna International...see above.
It is a part someone was interested in acquiring....
Ya'll remember Belinda Stronach....she joined the Conservative Party in Canada to try and become the leader, and she lost to Stephen Harper. On the eve of a vote to toss the Liberals, and call an election, she crossed over to the Liberals in order to get an elevated position in the party......Minister in charge of some thing or other.
Oh, and good friend of Bill Clinton.
If Belinda Stronach was a Taggart, she would be James, not Dagny.
See my post #30.
I’d be happy with a 1970’s Opel GT.
I believe Magna is headquartered in Aurora, Ontario.
The only Conservative bone that was ever in Belinda Stronach’s body, was Peter MacKay’s...
The Saturn dealership here is closed, all cars gone.
You’ve got that right.
Opel Sale May Deepen Russian Ties to Germany, Trump East Europe
Title is a trifle misleading...regarding East Europe...
Also the one who came down to the U.S. to get breast cancer surgery because reconstruction wasn’t an option up there especially with a tattooed nipple. She had the bucks so she could use them. Does that make her Canada’s Barbie doll? (Sarcasm intended)
Yes, she IS Canada’s Barbie Doll.
Her, and Pamala Anderson.
;-)
OMG Shhhhhhhhhh that one hasn’t shown up on the doorstep here yet after hearing I use recycled fur coats to make my teddy bears! That isn’t any Barbie doll, she looked so much better when she was originally discovered on the videotron at the B.C. Lions game, since then it’s all gone down hill!
