"The cars will never even make it to dealerships"

Seriously I HATE the newsmedia, I hate that people read and buy into this crap, and I REALLY HATE that people feel the need to rain on my parade by automatically jumping on the bullshit bandwagon from the headlines.

Is this driving anyone else insane!!?!?!?!

/rant off.....



I just gave a presentation to 500+ UF students about the Media Bias towards GM and how it affects sales.


Staggering amount of bias out there. The one thing people need to remember is the News Agency is a profit organization... If people dont watch their network they cant sell advertising slots and they dont make money so they have to stay 'hip', they cant 'afford to be different' and tell it like it is sometimes.

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
