So who's gonna drive with their lights on all day? (Besides the DRL's )

Problem is, no one is going to know why we're doing it, unfortunately.

Yeah I'm in for the lights on thing.
What is the actual day?
First I heard the 29th, then I heard the 28th, and now I'm hearing the 27th.
So is it the 27th now? (Tuesday)

Lights on, moment of silence!

But remember to keep looking forward, don't throw in the towel on GM just yet.

Between GTO, CTSv, return to RWD cars, freeing up the design studio, improving interior quality, and returning attention back to cars (I remember a certain GM person disagreed with me on that view 2 years ago), even if GM did try to eradicate the f-body permanently, GM's future is in fact very bright.

It's just that it seems that every other car company (including cash poor Ford and the puny sized, and till recently even poorer, Chrysler) as well as seemingly every affordable overseas brand is about to roll GM on the enthusiast front.

Can you imagine where GM would be if Lutz hadn't be granted vice chairman status?

It's a shame that the f-body is now on hiatus. The $64,000 question is when does GM plan on returning to the affordable sports car market? Does GM really need a low volume sports car like xlr when they have absolutely nothing in the affordable price range. Can anyone explain why Aztek is still being made-what a waste of precious funds!!!
