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. |

Replying to: grbeck (Dec 01, 2008 1:41 pm) The judicial branch is independent of the executive branch. Back to UAW business. http://thinkprogress.org/2006/07/07/bush-lay/ |
