General Motors said it lost $2.5 billion in the third quarter and warned that it could run out of cash... That means that throughout 2008 GM lost 58 million dollars a day. ---

My mother just bought a new Subaru at Advantage Subaru on Rte. 7 and the chevy dealership next door (where we had to do all the paperwork) was dead. But yeah thats crazy, that is a ton of money to be losing. Personally though I’m curious to know how come if they have been in the red since 04 why is it that 4 yrs later they are finally trying to do something about it? ---

Good sharing!There is a dining-room for the prisoners and another for the officers.
