    UAW stunned by Michigan right-to-work bills

    This has nothing to do with "right to work for less" and everything to do with eliminating the unions as the one counterbalancing force to employers and big money. Question: Without unions, how does an individual "negotiate" with an employer to determine wages and benefits? Answer: They don't...

    Weak idle

    Cengiz, you may want to check TPS voltage. Could also look at Min Air adjustment. Suggest you visit zr1 registry also at ZR-1 NET Registry Home. Quite a few of us over there that could help as well.

    C4 The Most Maligned Model?

    You can't find better bang for your performance dollar than a C4 ZR-1or B2K. And what a comfortable, fun runabout the C4 convertible is. Frankly, I think the C4 is the last of the beautiful Corvettes. The C5 and 6 are massive and hulkish looking IMO. I love the clamshell hood.

    GM's buyers reject 'Obamamobile' Volt as campaign heats up

    "Your hoping for the economy to get worst so that the Volt "fits" in? I see it the other way that the economy gets much better!!! I hope the Volt II will be priced much more competitively without using tax money and GM sells more of them." That's what "economies of scale" means. The platform...

    GM's buyers reject 'Obamamobile' Volt as campaign heats up

    Best month yet! Trend line is very similar to adoption curve when Prius was first introduced. I believe part of the idling of plant has to do w new Impala. GM: Chevy Volt output break due to Impala retooling Looks like its outselling the Vette!
