Gotta keep the factories going somehow...

I wonder where the LQ9's will end up?

Damn.
The ones that aren't damaged much, do you think they'll still sell? Like fixed and discounted?

I'm impressed that even a train didn't crush the cabs on those trucks. Now that's a safe vehicle.

I was just thinking the other day, how good/bad it would be if a ship full of GM cars on their way to America sank. Heck, it keeps the factories going as long as GM is re-insured, and it creates a demand in the market.

IIRC, a train car full of 2004 GTOs derailed on their way to US dealerships.

EDIT: they were 2005s, check it out here.

Ouch, but that does say a lot for the safety for GM trucks

Thats one hell of a side shot for those front and rear axles to still be intact and relatively inline!
