Re: CEO Rick Wagoner asked to Resign by the Anointed One
these GM fate threads always go into politics, because it is such a political question. If the gov't is talking about saving a company, that instantly becomes a political question.
Hey Brian, I don't envy you working on those japanese cars. I open the hood and can't find anywhere to reach my hand in anywhere. I don't do a smidgeon of work on it. I let my mechanic do it every 15K. I changed the headlight bulbs twice though (I bought hi performance ones the first time and they burn out faster. awesome), and that took doing the following:
remove baffle from front of engine
remove condom from headlight.
unhindge little metal bracket
hire small child to remove headlight bulb (just kidding but it was tight)
unplug bulb from dohickey
replace new bulb in dohickey
spend FOREVER trying to twist dohickey to proper orientation in headlight socket with small child hand
rehinge bracket blind, wishing I really had a small child to do it
replace condom
fill fluid containers hidden by stupid plastic baffle.
I imagine all the soft steel is probably to help with crumple zones to survive a crash? or maybe that's wishful thinking. Modern cars seem much more disposable then these old corvettes. I really enjoy working on my 59, even though its just cleaning fiberglass at the moment.
