beamer1341

got that right

I hope this doesn't effect the LNF stage kit release. I know they only make SUV's at those 2 locations but obviously money is tight around GM

temp is better than perm

kling1022

i heard 20 plants across the country will be down for the month of january.

kling1022

thats not cool

killalee4

if gm uses this money wisely, they can get back on their feet. I dont think they will stop the lnf kits unless they went bankrupt. They know theres alot of people waiting to get the kit.

kling1022

Boy i just don't know. I hope you are right, i really do

every year the automakers close their factories for 2weeks, this year they just extended that another 2 weeks... not that big of a deal honestly

afireinside7710

yes i was about to say this.






and DBZ is the ****

kling1022

if they are shut down til April or May its a big deal

vader43

well you know it's a big deal when the best selling car plant ( the impala) is shuting down for three weeks extra or more and their dropping a shift and also they are slowing the lind speed from 78 an hour to 45 an hour.. also in all the years that i worked there they never ever drained the assembly line right completely empty the only reason that they would do that is because they were planing on a long long shut down.. when i say drain the line out i mean no cars from BIW all the way to Chassis final finnish

i hope GM comes out of it. Best automaker in the US if you ask me

the lordstown [plant isnt closing... i drove past sunday... giant banner with the the new CRUZE model comming soon.

It's not temporary. We already received "closed plant status". They say the plants are idle because it has to be negotiated with the UAW when our contract is up.
