  • gm re-organizing??
    If any of the American car makers had a clue they wouldn't be so badly beaten up in sales by the Japanese auto makers!!!!
    Who do think wants engines that only last 50,000 miles???
    So, let me give them a big FAT clue.

    Make a better car than the Japanese!!!!
    When you create a design for something that works,
    DON"T change it just for the sake of CHANGE!!!!
    AND JUST AS IMPORTANT!!!
    DON"T sell your replacement parts for more than the CAR is freaking worth.
