As a completely unregulated private equity partnership, Cerberus has no public reporting requirements. In fact, they are now refusing to disclose their finances even after the bailout.

Andy can't believe that shoe almost hit Rick Warren. Andy doesn't think Caroline Kennedy is qualified to replace Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense, but doesn't blame her for asking.

The only other time the industry has seen a 3-million (or more) unit plunge was following the 1974 oil shortage.

GM is selling off, one-by-one, piece-by-piece, memory-by-memory, the GM Heritage Collection. Finding out felt like I'd taken a punch to the gut.

The woman was Sara Jane Moore. There were two significant Secret-Service-related reasons that she was free to stand on that sidewalk that afternoon, gun in hand.

As people discover the many advantages of electric vehicles, their momentum will build. Not only are these cars green and responsible, they also enhance National Security.

Many of the people and companies we saw at SEMA last week may very well be out of a job or out of business by next year's show.

The Big 3 are looking for a bailout. They should only get it if they agree to stop building autos that contribute to global warming now.

I talked to someone who told me that during and shortly after World War II, there were thousands of all-electric delivery vehicles in Manhattan. They just put a bunch of lead-acid batteries in the delivery vans, and off they went. I guess that in Manhattan, they did not have to drive very far, nor very fast, there are no hills, and they were never very far from their garage.
So far electric cars are only driving slow news days and some old people who hang around the golf course all day long.
What car?
