Admittedly I don't keep up on all things automotive anymore. I know Waggoner started there almost out of college, but the last thing I saw was that GM lost...
Bruce - agree on the unions and accountability. Union costs and related liabilities have helped cripple GM along with hundreds of other bad decisions across...

Very cool. Who would have ever though to name the colors after famous tracks as no manufacturer has ever done this. How original! (sarcasm intended) Sure,...
The problem is not the union by itself. The German automobile manufacturers are unionized. The problem is the way the contract are tied to private health...
Craig, While you're right, this is a problem that affects us all, GM included - I don't think this statement is accurate: "All the citizens (and legal resident...
I certainly don't place all of the blame on the unions - not by a long shot. Managment was brain dead. They kept forgetting that over time, marketing cannot...
All good points and I'm not going to argue any of these, or anyone else's. Everyone's entitled to their opinions and perspectives, all of which I respect. I...
Yes it is. But from some of the reading I have done on this car, the GM engineers did a great job with the chassis dynamics in spite of it being a front...
Mike, I'll second this with first hand knowledge. :) It is an amazingly capable car/platform despite its FWD roots. I think the same could be said of the...
Chet, The engine in the rear is a design feature, not a flaw. :) Hey, I am getting crazy thoughts of pursuing an early 90's car that featured a 3.4L V8 in a...

Mike, I'd think only the Italians would be silly enough to do that. I don't know my prancing horses well enough, but I'm thinking the successor of the 328 ...
I said a Pantera would be cool (I know it's older than the 90's but it's American...for Mike). Besides, these would have been a 351ci (5.7L) or larger. A...
Jerry guessed it. I am thinking about a Ferrari 348. I know it sounds crazy, but I do want to own a Ferrari someday. And pricing for these cars is about...
Mike, I think that is a great idea. It would be wonderful to have a 348 as part of the club pack. As far as the engine removal, it reminds me a friend of a...
The reviews of the Cobalt ss have been very good. A lot of bang for the buck. It deserves more attention (and sales) than it has received. Tom ... From:...
Is there an easy way to ID my alternator as a Bosch or Valeo while it is still installed? Or, does it not really matter which unit I replace it with, other...
Well guys, looks like I might take you up on the offer on the tools if I can borrow them. :) I have called around and the respond wasn't so great. :( K11 shop...
Today I was out running some errands in the 993 and noticed the clutch was periodically slipping. This is not good as the MVC DE is coming up in a few weeks...
