I've never wanted more torque from my truck...8 speed gearing is excellent.
Curious to drive the Ranger

On a positive note those guys are never going to have to work another day in their lives. GM's gonna settle that case for a trainload of fucking cash.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Thu Jan 17, 2019 10:32 amI 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.

Just thinking as a leader, if I had any of this crap happening in my org I wouldn't be able to sleep until I found and fired every one of the idiots and made a really good example of them.

You don’t deal with people that stamp steel for a living and don’t have a college degrees. Also you don’t work with unions, you cannot fire anyone.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Thu Jan 17, 2019 2:33 pmYeah, as nice as that is though...

I found the article pretty shocking. But how it happened at a plant operated by one of the largest corporations in America and was condoned by brass and UNION brass......is a Plaintiffs lawyer's dream come true.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Thu Jan 17, 2019 2:33 pmYeah, as nice as that is though...

It's not shocking to me that you can find racist dumbfucks in Toledo Ohio. It IS shocking to me that you can act like act like racist dumbfuck at a General Motors plant in 2018 with zero consequences......and actually expect that DAN isn't going to do something about it.max225 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 17, 2019 2:47 pmAnd commit a larger crimeCorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Thu Jan 17, 2019 2:41 pm

With all the crap going on at GM in Ohio - the real question is - will this guy get to heaven and be rewarded with his due of 'virgin's, or should he go PDK Turbo 911......

Is that counting each individual charger as a "station" vs each bank of chargers?

Probably, considering the #s. But either way 19,000 chargers is And allows to have a completely normal electric vehicle experience, without major compromises.troyguitar wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 12:42 pmmax225 wrote:
