    I used to be more in tune with the auto industry, but I was exited from that business in 2013 due to an acquisition.
    I knew that GM has sold off all of its Euro brands, but I guess I thought they still had sales operation. But a quick google search tells me that they really did abandon the continent, as I see a report that they had about 3,500 vehicles sold in Europe in 2018 and even less for 2019, and those are through grey market importers. 
    I guess since they don't drive full sized pickups and SUV's then GM says fuck it.
    So much for me thinking GM was a global brand

    They still own Holden?  North America plus Australia = prestige worldwide. 

  2. Drove past a very mint condition red chevy monza 2 door hatch tonight. It was very confusing that someone would either take such good care of, or bother restoring, a monza. I can’t think of the last time I saw a monza on the road.

    Pharaoh and the other blacks enslaved the Jews for 400 years in Egypt.  Are we to still hold that against all the blacks?

    This post seems to insinuate that the bad treatment of blacks people in America ceased a long time ago. When in fact we had to have a constitutional amendment 60 years ago about it, and it’s not like that put the issue to bed.

  4. Working through the cats thing now. It’s...full tilt boogie bananas so far, about halfway through. Feels like there’s more twists yet to come. 
     

    i watched joker last night, so it’s been an interesting couple nights of before bed media. 

  5. My 5 football seasons as a student were 97-01 so basically bookended by Route 66 and 2001 ccg, with nc state, Apple turnover (that was a hot game too) and some less than great ou games in between.

    That was our 5th straight road game, and Giannis is a badass.  Made a game of it at least after it looked like the Lakes were gonna get run off the court.

    It will almost assuredly be Lakers or Clippers v Bucks in the finals.

    Discount the mavs at your own peril. LAL is lucky to be 1-1 vs them.
