It worked for a while but they lost touch and started coasting. When
you look back at some of the barges they were selling in the 70s it's

Does it really have to do with taste? GM was headed for obsolescence
quite some time ago and the economy provided the tipping point. Lots
of folks drive butt ugly vehicles that didn't come from GM.

I predict butt ugly cars will continue to be sold to Americans by the
thousands and Mencken will be vindicated.

Just depends on how you define taste.
As in, "Not enough Americans have a taste for GM vehicles."
What got to me thinking about this was I saw a Bob Lutz interview
on TV.
Seemed like a reasonable guy.
So I looked him up on Wiki and found this:
"When Lutz became chairman of GM North American development in 2001
one of the first things he stated was that his new 500 hp car was
going to save General Motors. His full compensation in 2008 is
estimated at $6.9 million."

And this:
"He will retire from GM at the end of 2009. Lutz said that one reason
for his decision was the increasing regulatory climate in Washington
that would force him to design what Federal regulators wanted, rather
than what customers wanted."

That is what I mean by "taste."
Lutz and the others running GM were complete fools.
Gonna save GM with 500 hp car.
Gonna give the customers what they want.

In the 70's the Big 3 were the only game in town for large cars.
My '70's Chevys were ok. Just ok. But I did my own work.
I didn't want a small car.
But millions of others would, and even more in the '80's-'90's
They failed to anticipate the marketplace,
And when they did, their response was inadequate.
Even now, they are infused with management living in the past.
Their only chance is Obama kicking their dumb asses around
until they can make a profit.
That's what they have to learn. Make a profit.

Two points:
1. I was not discussing you or even talking to you, I was discussing
the person who stated those who owned handguns were using them due to
them having a very small penis. You might have said, it, but I never
heard you say it, Harry said it everyday, till the day he purchased a
handgun.
2. I don't own a handgun, never have. I have no problem if handguns
have increased regulations or completely banned. I really don't have a
problem if we leave the law the way it is. I completely agree that in
most cases handguns are used against the handgun owner (by a criminal
who takes the gun away from them), or they use the gun to kill
themselves. Based upon Harry's behavior, and I would think the odds are
he will eventually use his handgun to harm himself, or he will go postal
at the local mall, but I don't think banning guns will result in
criminals or mentally unstable individuals turning in their handguns.
It will just make selling them very profitable for organized crime.

Utter bull****. In most cases handguns are never used in anger. 99% of
them. Your 'most cases' falls in the 1 %. A guy once pulled a knife on
me and demanded money. I pulled a .45 and told him to run. He did.
Had he tried to ' use it against me' I would have shot him several
times. Back in the bin.

I have heard this statistic stated a number of different ways, and
neither of these statements would indicate any problems understand math
or statistics.

I have heard that gun owners are much more likely to be successful in
their suicide attempts and that gun owners are more likely than the non
gun owners to commit or attempt suicide. Neither of these "facts"
would dispute that fact that there are many more gun owners who do not
commit or attempt suicide than those who do commit or attempt suicide.

Here is study by the Harvard School of Public Health that would support
both of the statements above. : " They found that in the 15 states
with the highest numbers of household gun owners, the suicide rate was
double that of the 6 states with the lowest numbers of household Suicide
Rates Significantly Higher in States with the Most Gun Owners gun
owners. Population sizes among the states were similar. "

I do know that many people are math and statistically challenged. It
would appear from your statement, that you are one of those who are have
problems understanding math and statistics.

When we had the gas lines and the big three started trying to make a
gas saving vehicle, the Honda Civic came into play. Then GM tried with
the Vega, Ford the Pinto, Chrysler with the K car. BUT, out of those
crappy vehicles came the technology and research to make some decent
fuel efficient cars. I can only hope it'll be the same this time
around. During that time, the U.S. was bailing them out, too, just

"He will retire from GM at the end of 2009. Lutz said that one reason
for his decision was the increasing regulatory climate in Washington
that would force him to design what Federal regulators wanted, rather
than what customers wanted."
That is what I mean by "taste."
Lutz and the others running GM were complete fools.
Gonna save GM with 500 hp car.
Gonna give the customers what they want.
Sorry, close your ears. I have to say this.

It's been time for decades to wean american males off their overpowered
penis substitutes in cars and boats.

Like lobster boats?

Krause sure does seem to have more than his share of penis substitutes.
Even if some of them are imaginary.

That you have any purpose is imaginary.

everything arounds us, unlike righties.

I think you are delusional if you don't think there are just as many nut

Just depends on how you define taste.
As in, "Not enough Americans have a taste for GM vehicles."
What got to me thinking about this was I saw a Bob Lutz interview
on TV.
Seemed like a reasonable guy.
So I looked him up on Wiki and found this:
"When Lutz became chairman of GM North American development in 2001
one of the first things he stated was that his new 500 hp car was
going to save General Motors. His full compensation in 2008 is
estimated at $6.9 million."

The only photo FloridaJim ever posted publicly that "claimed" ownership
of a boat showed a decrepit I/O hulk from the 1980s or early 1990s that
looked as if it had served as a roadside home for roaches and raccoons.

My guess is that he was mustered out of the Navy at some point, and that
service "servicing" his shipmates was the high point of his miserable
like. Afterwards, he pretended to be a boat repair handyman.

Today's lefties, for the most part, aren't sucking on tea bags, shooting
doctors, blowing up abortion clinics, forming militias of lunatics,
seceding from the union, shooting up churches, denying science, shooting
up classrooms, torturing prisoners in their care, shooting black folks
who are reaching for a wallet, or shoving broomsticks up the anuses of
their captives.

Those are "righty" fun times.

The man who killed JFK, Lee Oswald, was far enough left to move to the
USSR. He came back and killed the Prez. Within a day a right wing
nut, Jack Ruby, killed him. Scum come in all flavors. The nuts have
been working on the why of it ever since.

Richard, most of the violence we've seen in this country for the last
100 years comes from the right.

Oswald and Ruby were driven by far more than politics.
