Their ads are always misleading. The recent silverado had several problems. Id put more faith in a 2005 than anything new by chevy.

Porsche looks sweet man, good buy.
Thanks man. I'm actually kinda in a state of disbelief. I never thought I would end up buying one since I looked so many times and didn't get it.
Porsche is one of those brands that every car guy should own something of, provided you have the means.

You like posh, new items, and not too far from your love for GM, VAG is the GM of Europe.

You’re more likely than not a shoe in given you work for 1 of the big 3 and going to another. They’ll scoop you up in a heartbeat and have you in their 1,000 HP department.

I never get too excited about job opportunities until I accept an offer. We'll see.

This makes sense, as to why certain tranny's suck and others are okay. That shift was too busy being dickholes to build a decent tranny.

I would argue that a percentage of the workforce didn't have enough brain cells to function at the level of an 8 year old and had/have no business being there.

Believing that story, I really don't understand how:

A) Anyone can act like that today.
B) GM let this happen and didn't shut the place down and do full interrogations to find the people and get rid of them.

The people above these guys that told them to "put it aside" and deal with it, then to investigate themselves need to be removed.. all the way up to the CEO.

Can't really blame the company if the issues never left the plant. We'll see how this is handled...

All :koolaid: aside, I really don't see the appeal in the Ranger over a Colorado or Tacoma. It's competitive, but it doesn't do anything outstanding.
