GM

[Randimus Maximus]

GM is trading at just about $2; sad to remember when it was over $40.

It is up $.36 right now.

About as much as this is a Porsche, but without the manufacturer you won't have those teams.

Actually this is the Porsche/Riley engine in that Brumos car



It is a highly modified Cayenne engine of which I will find some better pics.

My editor just finished writing a book about the GTO, and he was interviewed today on Fox Business News:

Do people even buy pontiacs anymore?



oh wait........

I remember 4 years ago I bought (for work) 20million in AAA rated short term paper for GM.

That would be a death wish now.

It would be an impossibility now; there's no way short term paper for GM would be triple-A rated.

Solstice will just remain the Saturn Sky or whatever its called.

I am been seeing tons of Skys on my commute home lately. They actually make my head turn which very few cars do these days.

I saw one "riced" out today. They look so much more custom than your average Honda with body kit because the shape is more radical to begin with. I still think its a weird hobby to put tacky shit on your car, but to each their own, and I wasn't as repulsed as normal when I saw it.

Note: I did not confuse what I saw with a Lotus, but I have to admit it is the right size for a silly amount of fun.

I think that is the "red line" version.  My Father-in-law has an early regular Sky, and it is not a rush to drive.

I thought the regular version was a direct competitor to the Miata, and the RedLine was the go fast version. Those numbers make the car no slouch, that's for sure.

[ROBsS4R]

Yeah I think that's the redline version as well.

I hear in the handling department they do slouch =)

Here is the 2007 Sky review so the numbers are a little different.

The Solstice and Skye got a rough start since they watered them down from the much ballyhoo'd concept car. The overly soft suspension and porky weight sort of made it a bit bland.

The current versions are better, but it would appear that any car GM makes not only has to be good, it has to be TOO good. We've grown so used to GM sucking that even a spectacular car wouldn't change the general perception. They could probably have gone a lot better had they put more money into their paint and interiors of all the cars.

good riddens

[junior varsity]

you mean "riddance"

[NAKID]

My buddy has an early Solstice and I think it has something like 171hp. To put it in perspective, I wooped up on him with my wife's V8 Touareg...
