Replying to: dallasdude1 (Nov 30, 2008 4:18 pm) Their relationship was so close that Bush ignored Lay's request that the federal government intervene when Enron collapsed, and Lay and several of Enron's top leaders were successfully prosecuted by the federal government during the Bush Administration. Sounds like a real close relationship...

I certainly have to say that the Ford Truck Video makes an excellent advertisement for the Ford F150. There's a reason the people still buy more of them than any other pickup. If I was buying a full-size pickup, I think I'd buy the F150 over any of the others (that Toyota sure looked bad!). However, as long as we're posting truck videos, here's a video about a Toyota Truck. Let's watch an Asian vehicle decompose! http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Top-Gear-tries-to-destroy_105017.htm Not a comment on the UAW in any way, but a good break from the heat of the debate

Replying to: marsha7 (Dec 01, 2008 1:23 pm) Yes, there are some recent lights at the end of the tunnel but you can't operate for so long just selling SUV's and PU trucks and completely disregard autos. Regards, OW |

Replying to: gagrice (Nov 30, 2008 8:35 pm)  talent and skill Just what does a story about a 3rd rate electronics junk store chain have to do with the mess the UAW has created for the Big 3? If I were Mullaly, I'd have told the senate where to stick their corporate jet comment as well. You act as if the CEO does nothing to earn that salary - unlike the union, there is no leverage they hold over the stockholders head to get that salary, the market pays for guys with their talents and skills, just like a football player. It seems extreme to us, but you'd take it if you could get it, you know you would |

Replying to: circlew (Dec 01, 2008 4:29 am) WASHINGTON — The CEO of failed Washington Mutual, on the job only a few weeks before the nation's largest thrift was seized by the government and sold to JPMorgan Chase, is entitled to more than $13 million in severance and bonus pay. Alan Fishman signed an agreement that provides around $6 million in cash severance and retention of his signing bonus of $7.5 million if he were to leave his job, according to a company filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2008206643_webwamuceopa- y26.html

Replying to: xrunner2 (Dec 01, 2008 8:59 am) Brown also denied charges he padded his resume. He said the White House and FEMA made mistakes in describing two of his past jobs. http://www.kcra.com/news/4952711/detail.html |

Replying to: xrunner2 (Dec 01, 2008 9:09 am) http://www.uaw.org/contracts/07/chrysler/sal/chry_sal09.php You can't seriously think that the UAW represents only blue collar workers? |

Replying to: grbeck (Dec 01, 2008 1:37 pm) First of all they owned one, you haven't. Second we do know that Cuba has kept all those old Amreican cars running all these years. http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/editorial-in-search-of-hondas-hybrids/ Regarding Honda CVT reliability, check out the Dept. of Energy long term testing of hybrids: http://avt.inel.gov/hev.shtml As I recall, about half of their Insights and Civics required one or more transmission replacements over the lifetime of their long-term testing. Consumer Reports rated the CVT as worse than average and, to put kindly, you may want to look at a variety of owner review sites, hybrid focused sites, and really any site that assesses the reliability of the 1st generation Civic hybrid. |
