It was probably at its limit of driving distance .... a few miles ....
Did anyone bother to ask the union boss how he gets around?
We were speculating about this in the meeting. Ron Zarella loved long Lincoln limousines..the bigger the better...and would switch to a GM product a couple blocks away from whatever event he was attending.
Same ole GM.
Using smoke and mirrors to fool people who fool people with smoke and mirrors in order to take their money. Just terrible.
Next you’re going to tell me that Barney Frank was rear-ending the head of Fannie Mae.
Whhy they did not do this the first time is beyond understanding....
I can see the movie now, 3 rich & elitist CEO’s roadtripping it to washington, leaving detroit and experiencing America for the first real time in their lives, discovering adventure along the way via small towns filled with wacky characters contributing to their misadventure. The movie poster is them in front of a sunset, sitting on the hood of the car they’re sharing, all with undone red ties and blazers strewn behind them.
“They drove to save their companies, but in the process, they also saved themselves.”
Hubcaps, and floor mats are a cost extra option at GM ...
;)
Or lets see a line up of congress ppls mode of transportation, probbly a lot of bike racks around!!!sarc
The hubcap supplier probably is already belly up.
It had hubcaps but lost them at a stoplight in detroit when asking for directions from the locals.
They were probably stolen while they were waiting for a light at Delaware Ave. and C street.
I can’t see a can opener ... but the driver looks as if he’s going to need a chiropractor after his lengthy commute.
Does anyone see the irony of shipping a couple of cars across country and then driving a third to show that GM is being environmentally friendly and cutting back on expensive business travel?
I just wondered. A semi truck across country and a hybrid Vs a business booked business class flight and a taxi?
let’s be honest about this miracle vehicle. It is the new “K Car” for Chevy. It’s gonna be a total disaster and consumers will have nothing to do with it.
It is a concept car. At this point, they aren’t even sure if they can technologically pull it off despite its 2010 supposed market release. It will also be a $40+K priced car which will only be able to travel 140 miles without being charged. So, it’s a commuter car for that much money and it will have two seats.
Who is asking for this car to be built??? Congress. Lefties (who can’t afford the car anyways). UAW (who wants us to bail out their boondoggle contracts in exchange for an electric car).
END THE INSANITY!!! Stop the electric car before it kills Detroit (what’s left of it).
What did they arrive in before? They flew private luxury jets to DC first go round but since there’s no landing strip in front of the Capitol building (Washington Monument is in the way), some sort of vehicle delivered them to the Capitol steps.
I joked with a co-worker about this. They should have all done paper/rock/scissors to see whether they carpooled in a GM, Ford or Crystler product.
Winner has to drive. 12 hours in a hybrid compact crammed in with competing CEOs.
I am guessing some big SUV.
