$14 billion investment in Opel over four years and at least 20 new models tells me that GM is solidly behind the brand - good news for Opel!

Every three thousand miles of HD2500 use, I visit the Chev dealership and, while waiting for the service dept., I like to see what's up in the showroom. The salesmen all know me well enough that they actually think I really could buy whichever Vette they have on display. I play with them. As if I need a Vette! Ha.
But I insist I'm dead serious when I tell them, again, when they really want to sell me a new car to get the Volt in here.
Meanwhile I still research the electric conversions. The hotrod S-10 might get yet another powertrain swapped in. Why not?
Something's gotta change. I'm sick of using gas for the basic running around that we do.

No Opels were harmed in the filming of this movie.
However two Mustangs, a Pinto, and a Capri were hospitalized.
One Mustang was euthanized the next morning.
