I knew I was sick the moment I was able to manage *only* six laps in GTR2. Too much concentration require, too exhausting. Think I’ll gel today in front of some stupid movies.

GM lawyers up →
Never a good sign. Worst case GM goes bust and they sell off the valuable segments: GM / GMC trucks, Cadillac - luxury cars, GM / Pontiac pony cars, Corvette on it’s own. That’s leaves Saturn, Buick, Saab, etc to rot. Holden and Opel would probably survive with foreign help.

I’m still trying to figure out why my car smokes, ever so slightly, when stopped. I reseated the valve cover gasket *again* and cleaned everything.

GM offers to cut brands, salaries and jobs in $12... →
GM says they disparately need a $12 million federal bridge loan.  The revised plan involves new models for Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC; specialty items for Pontiac; Saab and Hummer under “strategic review” and no mention of Saturn.  Actually the underlying words were “they are considering alternatives” for Saturn brand dealers.
