Little different doing donuts in the parking lot then getting rammed by a
cop car at over 100 MPH and coming back from a 360 after hitting the side
barrier wall and completing the turn in one lane. The guys I talked to where
no dummies.

As Calif. is nearing a couple of tax/license
jolts I also ventured into the salesrooms this
last weekend. Never made it to Ford and wound up
not opening my checkbook.
Lucerne fit-finish and paint looked better than
the Avalon and also better than a Cadillac STS.
So GM is capable of getting fit-finish right
on at least one car.
Something else though struck me.
Over some 55 years of buying new cars, most were
assembled built in Lansing, Flint or Canada
during the cold winter months. They seem to run
quieter in the winter then, rattles appeared in
the summer. The car was again quiet the
following winter. The few cars that I`ve bought
at the end of the model year (June-August
production) haven`t shown this tendency. (Some
were never quiet.)
I`ve not seen this `seasonality` in Toyota or
Honda rentals. But, my leased Infiniti seemed
to be "seasonal."
Might our production methods be missing something?

GM can`t go chapter 11 now, Obama`s buddies in the UAW
must be protected, no matter the cost.
