GM is no. 8 on fortune 500.

Another great move by Obama and co.

Yikes Walmart is #1. Biggest company in the world.

1. If you had 300,000 employees and paid 80% of 10 bucks an hour you

would be #1 too. Love to see American car companies making a comeback.

2. Guess you missed this or was this the great move

The latest recall of GM's popular 2011 Chevrolet Cruze involves both a steering and a transmission issue.

During an investigation into steering wheels that came loose—a recall which affected some 2,000 Cruzes—GM says it discovered a wider issue. Roughly 154,000 Chevy Cruzes have steering columns that were improperly installed during manufacturing.

Customer complaints also helped GM identify a second problem, this time with the Cruze's automatic transmission. An improperly installed linkage may inhibit the driver from shifting the Cruze into the proper gear. This defect affects about 120,000 of the sedans being recalled for steering issues, the company reports.

"Government Motors" same old junk.

3. So says "another guy in a chair"

with nothing to show for his life

4. Everybody is recalling nowadays.

5. Keep supporting foreign car makers will keep you from looking in the mirror. I always said

the best products in the world are union made here in the U.S.A.

6. Hey, if I ran a failing business

and could have 90+ percent of my debts wiped away, with a fresh start, I might smell like a rose, too.

7. You know legacy costs are a killer.

Hardly anyone can survive those.

8. I guess if you've got a President

who will whip you through a quick bankruptcy that wipes them away, and leaves you economically viable, you can succeed, too!

Still not ever buying from the old GM, the new GM, or any GM. I learned all I needed to know about them from my 1982 Pontiac Phoenix.

9. Have to admit I've only had Japanese cars...

My ex had a really cool camaro though.
