Nonstop entertainment...

How much effort does it take to fail so consistently? You know when you have one of those days where you drop your keys five times on your way from your front door to your car? Where you miss the doorknob and walk into the door? When you toss the tissue box on top of the toilet tank and it goes into the water because it fell short? When you are walking and trip over absolutely nothing? Remember Bill Murray's character in "Groundhog Day"? His name is GM.

Ugliest truck on the road gets a transplant (sort of)

GM, for me, has become the 'Sarah Palin' of the auto industry...too ridiculous to be true, but here it is continuously providing me with material through its own inability to figure out what appears to be obvious to so many. Yes, even bankruptcy couldn't save GM...they'd simply get lost in all of the paperwork (even though the lawyers would handle it).

One reason Ford can survive longer than GM: they get their designs to market faster...hell, even Chrysler beat GM to market with the Challenger. Why does it take GM so long to 'conceptualize' and bring to reality their mediocre cars? In defense of GM, they have some great cars in the pipeline-they're just 3 years late to the party. The Cruze, 2010 LaCrosse, Opel Insignia (now a future Buick) and the Camaro (just get it to market already...)-the Mustang has been out long enough for an update, making it look more like a rental car from the back.

Seriously, what is taking so long, GM? While your CEO and CFO sit around and wait for the rescue dollars to roll in-what are you doing to improve the mediocre assembly and shoddy designs? The new Corvette ZR-1 is gaining rave reviews in spite of what many consider cheap construction and poor build quality for such a car. How is it that Nissan can create an all new car that rivals Porsche for less than a Porsche or a ZR-1? I beat on GM because I know it once was a great company that designed and built great cars and trucks that people actually wanted to buy. Getting 'bailed out' is only one part of the puzzle-good for you...now you're 'solvent' for a couple of weeks-now try to build something worth buying, make some progress, do something...make a decision to effect change. Work with what you've got-shave off the dead weight-and move forward but don't just sit there on your collective asses, scratching whatever connects with your hand.

Makes me wonder if any of the executives at GM have ever had to work for anything other than their jobs. For that matter, they should work for free for a year to prove their 'desire' to make it right again...God knows they can afford it. I still think Wagoner should go away...hire Roger Penske, Willy Wonka...or one of the penguins from 'Madagascar' to do the job...they would be challenged to do anything but make an improvement at this point.

Trust me, when (if) they figure this out and get profitable, I'll be the first to offer up congratulations...really, I will.

I'm not holding my breath.
