These “electronic defects” apparently discriminate against the elderly, just as the sudden acceleration of Audis and GM autos did before them. In the 24 cases where driver age was reported or readily inferred, the drivers included those of the ages 60, 61, 63, 66, 68, 71, 72, 72, 77, 79, 83, 85, 89…

Oh, what a feeling - Toyota. That wonderful feeling that someone fucked up the programming on your car so now, like in that old Stephen King book "Christine", your little Corolla will decide on its own to zoom to sub-sonic speeds and your death. Needless to say, I much prefer the feeling of an old reliable Dodge Caravan. Parts are cheap, abundant and the car isn't clever enough to harbor dre

Henry Payne; Let the circus begin. Or more accurately, the blood-letting at the Colosseum. After all, Toyota’s federal judges in this theater are also major shareholders in Toyota’s competition, GM and Chrysler. Flashback! - "Those didn't strike us as business...

I would like to applaud the Government for once again taking on the issue of the safe heroin injection sites in downtown Vancouver; where we attempt to treat heroin addiction by helping people shoot up. I spent two years working the graveyard shift at GM Place, and spent quite a lot of time in close proximity to the same people who are getting "help". Trust me; we are not helping these people by

Toyota must be rather embarrassed. Millions of vehicles have been recalled, and now over 400,000 hybrids are being recalled.I've been saying it for a while. Buy Ford. Ford is the only domestic auto maker making money right now, so the chance of GM or Chrysler pulling through in the long run is slim at this point. The foreign vehicles can be very well built, but you pay much more up front. I've d

I would like to extend my best wishes to Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke who just lost his youngest son in a car accident. It was a terrible tragedy and I hope that the Burke family is able to find some solace in this dark hour. For the first time in a long time, I wish the Maple Leaf franchise the best of luck. I have been an advocate of Brian Burke since the days he was cast away unfairly fro

Okay, the game had an awful ending. Yes, it has been hard to take. What a way to lose. I won't forget the game (especially the ending) for a long time.This was the best thing about the game...me sitting with Matt Dominguez. He's a class act and took the time to take pictures with everyone.The Riders will be back in 2010. Selecting Taman as GM was a smart hire, and promoting Ken Miller was an ast

Ford, the only North American company to refuse government money, has successfully posted a very profitable year.Ford Motor Co. says it made $2.7 billion in 2009, its first annual profit in four years.Ford says it benefited from cost-cutting, debt reduction and popular cars and trucks like the Ford Fusion sedan and Escape SUV. It's enjoying customer goodwill for avoiding bankruptcy and refusing f

Every weekend when the Vancouver Canucks host a hockey game, tens of thousands of Vancouver sports fans descend on the downtown core to watch the game, be it attending in person or watching at a Sports Pub. Many go early and explore downtown and several hundred commute from the North Shore via public transportation (alcohol consumption is often part of the hockey experience). On Saturday, somebody

Here's a memo from Ziocon headquarters...My Zionist brothers and sisters, this is your Mossad station chief in Vancouver. I ask for your forgiveness for breaching our security protocols through this public broadcast. It was necessary to reach you all before the operation came into full effect.Operation Glowing Hearts is aborted.Our plot has been found out. While it is clear that these plucky free

The killing spree in the USA by the modern day Sicilian Mafia which goes by names like "Union of This" and "Union of That" make for gory reading. Let's take it slowly, victim by victim, city and individual, and see the visceral depths of misery and havoc heaped on entire neighbourhoods by these savage mass murderers. Bronx, NY Union insists on $10/hr+ and 2200 jobs bite the dust. People get i

A week before Christmas the last Chevrolet big block motor rolled off GM’s Rochester assembly line. This is the fabled rat motor, available over the years in 396, 427 and 454 cubic inch displacements (the 409 mentioned in the article...

According to the Fraser Institute, Canada has poured more then 200 billion dollars in corporate bailouts and welfare since 1994.In my opinion, the money qoute is this one:“The illusion of corporate welfare directed to the automotive industry in 2009 was the illusion that jobs were being saved. No, they were not. Instead of jobs being cut at General Motors or Chrysler, they were simply cut elsewh
