Can’t afford a microphone
Got turned down for Lay-a-way

It’s hyperbolic for LLN to write “there is the very real possibility that GM might not survive until” January. That’s mathematically inaccurate. This is the kind of wild-eyed, off-target press that hastens the death of teetering companies. If people thought GM was six weeks away from death, nobody would buy any vehicles at all, and the possibility would become reality.

GM is obviously in incredibly serious trouble, more serious than is perhaps realized by the bulk of its insular, self-satisfied managers (although Wagoner and cohorts get it). But not six-weeks-from-death serious. LLN, get a grip.

Don’t matter relay, there display is not the best at the show, if you have to ask the German auto maker always have the best display’s…

GM wants aid BEFORE Obama gets into office
What does that tell you?
Can’t wait 75 days?
DrFill

Why is GM crying for? The government will bailout GM. Stop being like Impulsive, GM, and grow some balls.

That tells me they figure Mr. Bush is more of a pushover than your President elect. Hail ‘W’, savior of the auto industry! Lord knows he needs something positive to punctuate his stay in office.

Wow, they really think GM won’t last. That’s B.S. It’s gonna be fine. They still are selling cars and getting money from where I work at and they still have every intention to build these units, they still cash our checks.

Oh, W doesn’t want to give the loan becasue he thinks they are not going to pay it back! He’s an actual bussinessman who understands the definition of loans, otherwise he wants to have the US as part owners, like with the failing banks, to have some sort of control and assets for the investment. Obama wants to give them a handout.

TomF, you know the press-mantra. There are three things the US free press loves and unjustly glorifies:

………. 1) Obama,
………. 2) Imported cars, and
………. 3) Criminals/sexual deviants

And dat’s da facts.

Jake
They’re both right
Bush wants them to pay the money back
Obama knows they won’t
The answer is give them the money, conditionally.
DrFill

What’s that REM song??

Come on…… why get a loan when you can get Big Nice Grant$$$$
The unions gave a lot of support to President ” to be” Obama, no more American Auto Industry, no more jobs (”cash”) for the Unions, So now the union and now the auto makers (”GM”) what Grants, forget loans for making “green cars” they now whant Grants ” free money” money you don’t pay pack,

“Ohooo, No”….. “We’re going BK”….. “we can’t afford a loan, just give us the money”

And the Oscar goes to….. “GM” !!!! For most dramatic performance…

LOL… I can see it now….

Times are hard.

johnnycanuck: “That tells me they figure Mr. Bush is more of a pushover than your President elect.” W is a puppet.

JakeK66: “He’s an actual bussinessman ….” who failed at everything he ever tried!

:mayer_ray_nagin: good call on the press — certain segments thereof, anyway.

CAN ANYONE ELSE PLEASE MAKE A COMMENT ON THIS SITE??? We’re always seeing posts from the SAME bunch of guys: crackerhemi… mayerraynagin… A4… johnnycanuck… howsmydriving…. DrFill … COME ON GUYS, GET A LIFE!! Does anyone besides this gang of knuckleheads read LLN??

In my defense, as owner of this site, the aforementioned pay, I mean receive, compensation for posting their divergent, and often erroneous, views on the industry
DrFill

No…. jusk us knuckleheads, and a lot of car dealerships, it’s just that don’t read our post, because of the negative comments most of us make, that and the fact they just wanna read what’s going on and don’t care mush of what the peanut gallery has to say, trust me I know, I was once one of them, It’s just that now I’m in front of this computer all day long and I’m looking for something to kill time… but ya we are the only once……

And yes they do refer the comment section the “peanut gallery” I here it all the time at dealer meets…

Bush is more likley to give them a loan with fewer preconditions. Dear Leader, Obama, would likley mandate that they produce a car that gets 75 mpg while running on prune juice within the next 15 months.

That’s almost funny, DrFill. If you get paid by the post you must be a wealthy man.

t’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Six o’clock - TV hour. Don’t get caught in foreign towers.
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting.
Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down.
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means no fear cavalier.
Renegade steer clear!
A tournament, tournament, a tournament of lies.
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.

It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

You would thank that the Dock! will be more open to what he say’s and not be so “one-side-ed” , I mean, if he dose own the site, that means he is living off of the auto industry, and expressing his personal opinion the way that he dose could ultimately cost him some business, that’s why it is the policy of the company that I work for, that dose not let me give out there information when ever I’m on forum like this one giving out my personal opinion. Maybe the staff at LLN should adopt that policy…
Hay if it works for the biggest name in auto racing why not….
HINT!….

The auto industry has a better record of paying back government loans (and the taxpayers profiting) than any other industry.

And Bush wouldn’t loan them the $10B they wanted to acquire Chrysler because none of his cronies work in the auto industry. They’re all with Big Oil and Wall Street.

GM always has a pretty display(s) of vehicles at this show. GM is one of the better ones at letting those who want to climb around their vehicles do so, even in the higher-end Corvettes.

Another death knell for the General…

I reckon it is just inconvenient to answer questions about imminent bankruptcy during car show.

‘crackwhore’, if GM had the brains of Impulsive they’d rule the world … unfortunately, your marble-sized cojones probably match up to your equally-sized brain so you’d never understand that … bend over, it’s time for your sausage stuffing.

Errrrr….the ship is sinking…..

I might not agree with everyone that posts on here, but I do enjoy reading your comments.

Just give me the new 556 hp CTS-V then close the doors….
