failing.......have you seen GM's balance sheet lately? Ford has record profits. GM is making record profits not counting the write down they did in Q2 related to paying for the extortion from law firms.

Kinda makes me wonder what kind of engineer, from what I've seen Engineering should be easy to find a job for considering the improving economy.

Do you remember when the bailout was? Guess not. Ford is having record sales and profit.

Why would you even come on here and comment? Plenty of people in Greenville to talk to.

No I wouldn't because there is nothing intellectual about what happens when you come on.

It is kind of weird for a 36 year old to talk to 16-17 year olds on the internet. Next thing I'll know some minor , liberal kid who doesn't like my politics will be accusing me of some kind of plot to lure them somewhere and do bad things. Last thing I need. lol
You're just mad because you never seem to win a debate when I come on.

You seem to have dumb ways to try and get out of a debate.

ICAR, and a few other things, like BMW, I hear more about on this website than in my daily life in Greenville. This website and what is talked about isn't mainstream, so to speak.

I've noticed GSP's rants about Greenville are almost always based on an article in the GSA business magazine. lol He's not even coming up with original stuff. He never discloses his source either, makes it seem like he came up with it on his own.
You do know that this website has a common interests among the people on here.

Even though he will usually post a link to the article he got his information from.

Actually you did comment on it a lot. I had to laugh when you tried to put down Innovista. I would have that ICAR would have been much more successful as much stuff seems to be going on there.
