GM Posts Q1 Loss of $3.25bn

…which is not actually as bad as it sounds
First the bad news: GM reported a first-quarter loss of $3.25 billion this morning, thanks in no small part to the UAW strike at American Axle & Manufacturing, Delphi’s bankruptcy, a big chunk of interest spent on money-losing GMAC, and plummeting automotive sales thanks to high gas […]

A simple drive down Highland Road, with its graceful sweepers, blind curves and tree-lined canopies, is a fine acid test of a car's integrity, poise and presence.
