SEE YOU ON THE ROAD SKAG! WE'LL SEE YOU LIKE WE SAW THE NIGHT RIDAH!

It'll stop bleeding when it runs out of blood.

NIGHT RIDAAAHHHH!!!!! Not really. The Eclipse should have been gone like a memory from any 5.0 ssp mustang, but he repeatedly caught up to him. I would call that a fail.

Outstanding car, colossal moron. Who drives 190mph on a foggy day, seriously? V70R's had 300hp stock, they hit the 155mph limiter with zero effort, I wonder what a pipe and a tune will do...?

Uhhh, thats a Sixhead. She's rocking the sumo-hairstyle, awesome.

The class wa eleven years ago. Show me a random assignment that you did 11 years ago? How many foreign languages did you take to achieve such prowess? I imagine you can flip through Hebrew, Greek, and Latin fater than a Wendy's manager can spit spanish. Or, are you simply well versed in looking up the canned responces listed in some Rubuttle Database at Fallwells university? Your credibility is called into serious question by the simple fact that you quoted King James Genesis.

No, I'm not doing your work for you. Go find yourself a copy of the OG latin bible (from which the subsequest western bibles were derive), and have a good time. First, you have to figure out which on that was.... Or if you really have guts, go back to the Hebrew texts and see what they say. Honetsly though, no one here care, and you won't learn or concede anything as a result of my hard work (I'd have to translate it again, cuz I sur as hell don't have my notes from 11 years ago), what motivation do I have? Tell me about the 4 corners of the earth? Some say it just means "Extremeties", but why use "angulos" to describe such a vague term when Latin has a word to describe just that?

BWAHHAHAHAHAHHHAH The King James Bible is bullshit. Proven time and again to have had sections deliberately mistranslated or outright made-up for political reasons. I guarantee the old original Genesis called the earth flat, because I translated it (for a grade). King James had this section rewritten for a post-Magellan world. You don't want to know what the real genesis says, you'll laugh.

We're just meant to believe he killed himself. The po-leece scanned him.

It is the correct way to get ahead all over a lawn. Unless you can hold your breath for a really long time.

America didn't invent the assembly line, Ford was simply the first to use it for making automobiles. The concept is a couple thousand years old. It made cars cheaper. And? Care to tell me how the Corvette is going to keep a million GM employees employed? Those are neat cars, but they do not help any arguments in this conversation. Toyota axed the Supra because it wasn't as proffitble as its siblings. It met sales goals, but the margin on it wasn't big enough to keep it in a family of Camrys and Carrolas. Toyota picked a direxction and they stuck with it, they built their industry around that common goal, and they sell a shit ton of cars as a result. Toyota gets to stay open and stay profitable because it doesn't sink buckets of cash into "halo" cars. GM has no focus, and therefore does nothing exceedingly well.... excep the CTS-V and the Z06/ZR1.

Strange in that I've posted a fact that GM has proven through their failure to bring a desirable bread'n'butter car to market? Surveys don't work, people don't know what they want.

How did it fail, again? Seriously, explain to me how a busted part and a delay is failure? How will this prevent it from ever being used again? Do you know what failure means? It's got many years and many experiments ahead of it. To Americans like us, Apollo 1 was a setback, not a failure of our lunar program. This accelerator repair is barely worth mentioning.

Gunna stop you right there. Though Toyota posses this, so do other companies that are less successful. I've actually been studying Toyota's means of success quite allot. I'm actually being paid to study it, they're so good that it has spawned a class that employers pay to have taught to their employees. The reason Toyota is successful is very simple: They produce better cars. That's it Period End of story. Do they produce faster cars? Do they produce nicer cars?, Do they produce the highest quality cars (anymore)? No, they don't. They produce cars that people want to buy, and most importantly, CAN buy. Their product development system is far superior to any GM focus group BS. A survey will not tell you what people want because people are stupid and don't know what they want. Here's a neat story. Toyota wanted to refine a new minivan for the US market (Sienna). The result: "Sienna is arguably the best minivan ever to grace the segment..." A wicked success. The Project manager dug up his family and moved their asses to the US for most of a year. He didn't rip up a Camry and start bolting panels on it. He didn't conduct a survey, he didn't read Car'n'Driver. He and his family drove around the states for a bit, and it was well worth the cost. He didn't ask what we wanted, he found out himself. Now, compare the sales of the Sienna to the sales of the focus-group designed Venture... yeah, no competition. The Toyota design process is more efficient and draws on real consumer need. Their manufacturing process is efficient in a way the GM could never hope to be. The cars they produce are actually wanted by the same people that can afford them. Unlike certain Pontiac's that appealed to millions of people who couldn't afford them. They're better at what they do because they've got a process that is better than everyone else's. They can afford to do what they're doing. They also don't have a union workforce, in which such activities would be unthinkable. But that's just Toyota. Why they are better than GM has less to do with their qualities than it does with GMs faults. P.S. If you commit your workforce to charitable acts, are the wages that you pay them considered a donation on your taxes?

Wow, it's usually christians that turn people into atheists.

How exactly does 25m repair = a multi billion dollar failure? Well within the the budget. Also not a big deal, considering the scale of the project. I also find it funny that you shout "fail" at a group of people that are smarter than you, better educated than you, better paid than you, have accomplished more in life than you, and will end up having a greater impact on the history of man than you can ever hope to. Juss'sayin

wut?

Ditto. That's some BS though, you need to give the kid a hard time about it when they come out. Good luck, though, I wish you two the best!

Oh shit that's the new model! my bad.
