I like both. Would drive the newer one with pride, had I the means.

Sure, thing, Mr. Peabody!
Q: You said, “It’s not the duty of government to bail out and reward those who act irresponsibly, whether they’re big banks or small borrowers.” What about Bear-Stearns?

About one year ago, GM shut off voice mail on the desk phones at most of their plants to save money. Then you needed Plant Manager approval to purchase a single ream of copy paper. Then came the bailouts, bankruptcy and plant closing announcements.
GM may not be in as bad a situation as Chrysler, but I had the good sense to get out of there as a contractor manager a few months ago. Management and UAW have it on life support. I have never seen a more demoralized, toxic work environment in my life.
No contest. The ‘70.
Yeah I have been saying that the UAW will try to kill Ford next. I like Ford and their vehicles but if the UAW kills them it is Honda, Toyo or BMW for me.

I remember one in particular who was totally freaking out at all of us who said no to TARP....
It was achieved with deep (unprofitable) discounting. Ford increased without the discounting and had a nice profit last quarter. Chrysler, however, looks real bad.
