Pssssss.....

....that's the air hissing out of my training for most of November :(  I was rolling pretty well up until the time change then I went into hibernation mode.  So, not too much excitement to write about.  We have had snow for close to 3 weeks now, so that has been great to get out on the white stuff on a somewhat regular basis.

 All the talk of the "Big 3" "bailout"/"loan" has been rather entertaining.  Working for GM, I can tell we have made huge changes in our product line and cost structure since I started in 1999.  If we were still at those levels of employment and structure we would be done already.  All the talk about how inept the leadership is just plain false.  Sure, we have made some really bad decisions but people need to look at the cars on the dealer lots TODAY and tell me we are not as good or better then the transplants.   The thing I love the most is how their is ZERO coverage of the huge mistake Toyota made in launching their brand new BILLION dollar Tundra plant in Texas at the exact time gas prices skyrocketed this year.  Why is that not plastered on the front page of every newspaper?  Why is Congress not calling for Toyota's CEO to step down for such a terrible business decision.  Man if a US company had made that move we would have been cooked by the media.  Well...maybe nobody, not even the mighty Toyota could see the gas price rise on the horizon??   And if you want to talk GREEN, take a look at GM's hybrid bus's that are in many US cities....that save way more in emissions than all the Prius's ever made.  GM made a choice to go after bus's first with our hybrid tech to make the biggest impact on the problem...emissions.  I guess that's really not newspaper selling news though is it.....do some research, check out the facts.   Anyway....my rant is over.    If any0ne is looking for a vehicle I can give a GM discount to 2 people...

Next up I'll have to think about the 2009 Mich Cup predictions...
