in the case of the Fords, when I could even FIND parts. Planned obsolescence, you know. Tried to get a replacement seat belt for a broken one in my 4-yr-old Ford. 'No longer have any', they told me. So what am I supposed to do then? Junk the car? Illegal to drive without the belt, can't buy a new one, and still paying off the loan. Maybe just tie a good strong rope around myself to hold me in the seat?
Now I've got a sturdy, reliable Toyota. 5 years old when I bought it, and now it's 13 years old. Only thing I've ever replaced is a water pump. That's IT.
Unlike my Fords, when you drive it down the street, you can actually steer it in a straight line without drifting. And unlike my GM, things don't fall off of it every time you slam the door shut or turn on the engine.

Today's news about cash flow evidently took that off the table pronto.
Chrysler's Thank You America ads sm
After getting bailout money, Chrysler spends a fortune on Thank You America ads. What gall they have. Take a look at the comments about it before someone removes them. Glad to see people do realize how much the government is screwing us over with these bailouts.

what happens to car prices if Chrysler files bankruptcy?
If Chrysler ends up filing bankruptcy and has to liquidate, will the prices of the new cars go down or will everything just continue on, business as usual as far as we are concerned?
I am in the process of looking at a convertible Sebring and am now wondering if maybe I should wait an extra month and see what kind of deal I can get...

I don't imagine you bothered to read...
entire thread...but why would you? lol.
If you are bothered by the racism that this election
then what about mysogyny and sexism?
There are some Obama supporters out there sporting some Palin-bashing shirts.
If you dont' like Obama, you are probably a racist, right?
Oh, but there is no hate thrown at Sarah Palin? Take a look at the link below and see for yourself.
Now, I ask you, are all of you Sarah-haters mysogynists and sexist?
Generalizations will get you nowhere. Yes, I am sure people won't vote for Obama because he is black, and many blacks will vote for him JUST because he is black, REGARDLESS of his policies. I think the huge majority of people that aren't voting for him are not in agreement with his policies or don't like his character. THAT is NOT being racist. THAT is seeing through the rhetoric and coolness for what he truly stands for and not taking his bait. No thanks. I'm voting McCain.
See the link. (Warning, adults only)
Just for you GP...I am not a paid "sm" I am an MT...and if you would have bothered to read...
the links I provided you would have understood why I said it is not over:
Curt Wrotnowksi's case, Wrotnowksi v. Connecticut Secretary of State, has been denied by the U. S. Supreme Court.
Docket #08A469 -- The application for stay and/or injunction addressed to Justice Scalia and referred to the Court is denied.
Update: Judicial review is allowed only after the Electoral College vote and Congressional Certification.
The Justices denied the "stay' but have retained the "certori." It isn’t dead. They’re waiting for the Electoral College to actually elect him. Obama is not President Elect until after the Electoral College "elects" him. Then Congress must approve the Election. Only one senator AND only one representative are needed to stop Obama’s election approval.
Mechanisms exist under the Twelfth Amendment and 3 U.S.C. 15 for any challenge to any candidate to be ventilated when electoral votes are counted, and the Twentieth Amendment provides guidance regarding how to proceed if a president elect shall have failed to qualify.
Issues regarding qualifications or lack thereof can be laid before the voting public before the election and, once the election is over, can be raised as objections as the electoral votes are counted in Congress.
Therefore, this order holds that the challenge presented by plaintiff is committed under the Constitution to the electors and the legislative branch, at least in the first instance. Judicial review, if any, should occur only after the electoral and Congressional processes have run their course.
The federal government does not take official notice of the presidential election until the current Vice President opens the ballots on January 8th; the court is simply acting on this legal fact.
