Re: General Wesley Clark Jumps In [Mr_Shiftright]

".....What's he saying? That Caterpillar can't make an armored personnel carrier? " What I would take out of it is that a company like that or AM General may not have the capacity to build what is needed for "WW III". Therefore, we would need the manufacturing capacity that these companies offer. GM may not build aircraft engines, but have the space to convert a plant to build them under licence from a GE or Pratt & Whitney.

Not for nothing, but GM doesn't build the military Hummer, AM General does. Now GM does supply the running gear for them. I believe AM General even built the "H1" for GM to sell. GM bought the rights to build the H2 on down.

>It's not General Motors, fault or the UAW's fault that people vote in treasonist politicians that support un free trade after we've seen what it leads too. Did Clinton go for loosening the trade? I don't recall... :blush: Who did let the first foreign car plants and builders into the US without substantial tariffs? Which politicians? I was just listening to a roundtable discussion talk show on Chicago AM radio 890 where they were debating what to do about letting the US car companies die? Interesting to hear them talk about Obama and Gettelfinger, etc.

I had a supervisor back in the '90's who had one of those Turbo Trans Ams. Can't remember now if it was an '80 or an '81. He knew I was into old cars, and tried to get me to buy it. He seemed a bit offended that I wasn't interested, and actually had the nerve to get miffed when I bought my '67 Catalina convertible! I guess in his mind, all old cars were alike, so why shouldn't I have bought his? :P I remember him telling me I was going to be sorry, buying something that old, because there were going to be laws coming out that would ban cars like that... It's kinda weird though, to think that all of a sudden, a 1980 car is almost 30 years old! When my supervisor was trying to sell me his Trans Am, it would've only been 13-14. Time marches on too danged fast! Sometimes I think of something like my '57 DeSoto as a 30 year old car, probably because they were about 30 years old when I started wanting one. But all of a sudden, that's a 50+ year old car, and that late 70's crap I go for, which still seems pretty recent to me, is now 30 years old or more.

Figured it out. We needed to replace the multi-function siwtch that has the headlikghts, cruise control, hazard lites etc. Autozone part number SW859 for $79.99 did the trick. We needed to pull the steering wheel of to get it in place. To do that you need to dienable the airbag by disconnected the battery, pulling the airbag fuses, and waiting 10 minutes before you putt the airbag off the front of the steering wheel.
I should look at the bright side...

Maybe I've been looking at the dark side of the collapse of the Big Three. Maybe I should think of the advantages I would gain if I were to break down and buy one of these glorious Camries. Let's look forward to the year 2015. GM collapsed six years ago. I pull into Sharkey McShyster's Toyota dealership next to the off-track betting parlor across from the "gentleman's club" and pawn shop. I trade my pristine but now worthless orphaned black 2007 Cadillac DTS Performance for a brand new Camry. I'm driving back to my place and thinking about the very wise purchase I just made. Since my car will no longer be the center of my world nor receive the lion's share of my attention, I gained many new advantages. Among them: Fuel Savings: No longer will I need to waste my money on premium fuel. I can go to Xavier's Brand X Gas in the bad neighborhood and fill up on his special economy blend which consists of a 50/50 mixture of kerosene and water with rocks, sticks, and bugs in it. Tires: When the OEM tires wear out, Pep Boys' Futuras will be sufficient. No need to spend my money on exotic brands like Goodyear, Michelin, or Pirelli. Insurance: Collision? I don't have no stinkin' collision! I don't need no stinkin' collision! Parts: Get the Great 'Yota feeling with genuine Wal~Mart parts! Ease of Parking: The Camry might actually be longer than my 1988 Buick Park Avenue, but it will be easier to park. Of course my neighbors won't like my sudden diminished driving skills as I hit whatever happens to be in front or back of me as I could care less about scuffing the Camry's bumpers. Smoking: For the first time ever, I and my passengers can smoke in my car! Eating: Ditto! Dogs: My friends with dogs will love me. Fido needs to go to the vet? Let me take him! Body Shop Repair: Heck, I won't need the expense of a body shop should I dent or wreck my Camry. I can just ignore the damage or pound it out with a ball peen hammer. Oops! I tore the metal! Oh, nothing a little Bondo and Krylon can't fix. Other tools required will be duct tape and bailing twine. Oil: Mobil 1 synthetic? Feh! The recycled stuff in the 5-gallon jug at the dollar store will be sufficient. Oh, cool! They sell filters too! Cleaning: Wow! Think of the hundreds of dollars I will save since I no longer need all those fancy waxes, polishes, soap, and other detailing materials! Think of the savings on my water bill since the rain will be sufficient enough to clean my Camry! I Can Suddenly Go Anywhere: What's that? you want me to drive down to North Philly at 2 AM and pick up some crack for you? No problem! My Relationship Will Improve: No longer will I hear my girlfriend complain about me showing the car more attention than her. In fact, I will be spending a lot more time with her as the car will no longer be a distraction.
