  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    ....for us Olds loyalists. Not sure which is worse, the five years on death rom for Olds or the quick death of Pontiac. Can't believe GM doesn't need 250,000 car sales from a car that's already developed and tooled. The variable or marginal cost to build incremental vehicles isn't that high as compared to the fully burdened cost.

    Therer is no clearer sign of who's running GM now.....or who's licking the White Houses's boots (I cleaned it up :laugh: ).

    I can't believe that loyal Pontiac owners (and Saturn owners) will just switch over to another GM brand...think I'll buy some more Ford Stock.

    I see they're cancelling the Buick Lucerne, too. Another Brilliant move.....I can't see the car in that pic giving any scares to Acura or Lexus, or many others. It's butt ugly...course that's just my opinion, I may be wrong....:bglasses:

    I also found it interesting that they mentioned the new Regal in the Wards article. Based on who is running the show, the proverbial ice cube's chance is greater than an engine with a turbo finding its way into that car. Even more rediculous considering the reappearance of the Taurus SHO. Are they going to can the Solstice/Sky vehicle too?
