"General Motors … made about $9 billion dollars in 2011. How much of its “fair share” is GM paying in taxes? Zero. In fact, from GM’s financial report, they actually received a “benefit” of $110 million for the year. The UAW benefited as well, as they are set to receive $7,000 per worker in profit sharing bonuses."
@MrButterjam He was made an offer by a collector which he couldn't refuse. Maybe you should gather some evidence before calling someone out. Douchebag.
Derek D episode 2000 you would get $4000 (double pay) so keep on it dude. Your work is admired world wide and we love you. btw could you perhaps do a hump day girl of the week that is german. we want to see what those german women are like, do they have big boobs? ta bless
@rojermalak Hey, I couldn't find the one where they pick it up from the dealership. I don't think they ever aired it. But, I did find the FLDetours where he reviews his car: watch?v=aRju4Zvz8Hs
Thats gotta be a unique way of bonding with your vehicle, driving it off the line after it's been built. Sort of like the automotive equivalent of taking your newborn home from the hospital.
Kinda sad though to see those excellent little GM coupes and roadsters (Saturn Sky/ Pontiac Solstice) that they don't make anymore. Such fun to drive cars that we shall not see for awhile from GM.
