    :D iPhone people, go to the app store, search for WMMR and download the app. I've been all over the country and hands down this is the best radio station I've ever heard. That and they have Preston and Steve in the morning which is the shit! I was listening to yesterdays podcast and they mentioned it! now I can listen live instead of having to download podcasts.

    Oh and Jailbreak and get BackGrounder, so you can run programs like this and Pandora in the back ground while you do other shit like text and use the intraweb to post stupid shit like this

    :dj:

    my mom works with skitzos. a famous line is from one of the guys on her floor who was a certified genius, and the famous quote from this guy was 'I'm crazy, not stupid'

    Just because he was nuts doesn't mean he didn't know what he was doing. regardless of why, he still did it and there's not excuse for it.

    When people go insane though, their first thoughts of insanity aren't of genocide...usually.

    True story...

    HOWEVER they usually are of severe paranoia, and if the Jews are the subject of his paranoia...

    But, the interiors are somewhat different and the body panels and such are different. The Pontiac looks less friendly and even though it is the same platform, tell me why America loves the Cavalier more than the Sunfire? It's the same...

    Point is that subtle differences can mean a lot. The new Vibe got better reviews, by the way...

    It's a platform - not rolled out of the same factory...

    the entire car was designed and built by Toyota, all GM did was sign on the dotted line.

    GM has allot more than that. That appears to be just what they own on the US side of things, don't forget Opal, Holden, Daewoo, Volvo, and about a dozen other companies, not to mention a controling stake in Subaru, and a few other car companies. If GM fails, there is a large chunk of the world that stands to fall.

    also, I'm not going to piece edit like Lizzy did, I don't have the time. But a mechanic, someone who's father has owned a garage, and someone who only buys American cars any more. I'm like that for a reason. My family has owned many a GM cars with over 200k on them. Hell my cousin has sold, and resold my mothers old Bonnie that the last time he took it in on trade had over 340k on it, and he SOLD IT AGAIN it ran so damn good. My dad has a 94 Yukon with 320k on it, he finaly retired it because the transmission FINALLY gave up the ghost, and would cost more to fix/replace than the truck is worth, and he doesn't want to pay to fix the exhaust. Cars are what you make of them, if you take care of them, yes they'll last forever. hell my old man is horrible with preventive maintance. that 94 is lucky if it gets an oil change ever 10k miles, and is still on the origial GM trans fluid. still runs impressively strong, uses no oil (well we had to do valve seals at 280k) and I'd have no quarrals about driving it to cali (sans transmission...)

    Yes their management is old, and so is the rest of the countries. there is no reason for anyone to make 14mil a year, yet we have idiots playing baseball that make more than that. THAT is the problem, and if you'd read, it's being addressed in these loans (except AIG) and that is what they are, LOANS.

    GM buys engines from Honda, they've used Izuzu transmissions for years, Honda uses GM's OnStar, and XM Radio, Mazda simply rebadges the whole damn ranger and sells it as their own, Pontiac sells the Matrix as a Vibe, I fail to see your point other than GM is buying a part from a supplyer. It's not that GM can't build a clean motor, hell the LSx motor has won numerous quality, design awards, and will pass a cali smog test without a cat. Hell the whole engine has no emissions controls other than what the Govt REQUIRES. and if you think they can't build small engines, I invite you too look at the sky/solstice power plant, also the new cobalt SS engine they are above and beyond anything Honda/Toyota/whoever the hell makes.
