ParticipantMacro are you looking to get another drubbing?
A BK at GM will cost the Gov. (us) $40 billion. GM is part of the country, its veins run through us.
“The banks don’t have enough money, or for that matter the gumption, to provide the billions in debtor in possession (DIP) financing needed for a chapter eleven bankruptcy. Without that DIP financing GM would have to go into a Chapter 7 liquidation which could trigger other bankruptcies in the auto industry, cause more jobs to be lost, and in general create a disastrous situation for an economy already in a recession. The bottom line: If Washington were to throw GM into bankruptcy right now, it would be running the risk of blowing an even bigger hole in the economy.”
Obama’s bailout will cost us $1 trillion to save or create 3 million jobs. $30-$40 billion to the auto makers will do the same thing.

ParticipantAsian cars all look the same. You could throw a sheet over most of Toyota, Honda and Nissans inventory and not be able to distinguish which model was hiding under the Wamsutta sheet.
* Now the Dodge charger and the new challenger… now there is some sheet metal beauty!
* The Chevy Malibu is like a mid size car in a really nice suit and the new Camero is just stunning!
* Cadilacs WOW!
* Chrylser Sebring, yeah! The Crossbow? Deffinately!
* Ford Flex, I love it. Ford trucks make me lust.
I could go on but…
Now my list of inspiring Asian cars:
* Well there is the….uh what was that called? No thats the other one….um well…uh.. I’m sure they make something creative?
I’d rather go 180k miles trouble free miles in something with some soul and excitement than 190k trouble free miles in a boring as hell generic, cookie cutter econo-box on wheels.
Any of you Japan cheerleaders know how many Saturn cars have well over 200k miles and they are still going strong? I recently discovered that you just can’t kill those little things. I have a friend with one with well over 300k on it and you’d never know. Just read about a lady who has a Saturn wagon with over 600k on it. Oh well, GM sucks, lets buy a Honda!

ParticipantThe time for global trade charity is over. America is in a unique position, we could tell Japan that we are stopping all imports of cars until we get out of this mess and there is nothing they could do about it because they need us more than we need them. If they had any sense of fair play they would look back on the past 30 years and say “It’s your turn now, you need it and its only fair because we were really, really unfair to you for 30 years and it made us rich”.
We could tell the rest of the world to take leap because all we really need is oil and the oil countries don’t make anything anyway, so we could tell the rest of the world to handle its own shit while we get our house in order.
Imagine if Obama announced that tomorrow? All the BS he has done so far has given very few any hope that they will get a job out of this trillion dollars of stimulus. Telling America we are shutting the trade charity tap until our manufacturing jobs are flush like they were 25-40 years ago and America is healthy and debt free would send the country into nationwide celebration.
Telling the country that we are going to start making things again would give us something tangible to hope for and work towards with the obvious benefits of lasting jobs that pay well. Sure it would not be easy or problem free but it sure would fix our biggest troubles.
