I’m a mechanic for some well known delivery company, and in reality my workload wouldn’t change much at all going to electric. Drivetrain related maintenance is pretty low, most of these things run an L96 6.0 and Allison automatic, so really up to 100-120k all I do is oil changes. Brakes are pretty long lived on most Read more

I was confused until I got to “the dealer’s service bay is open 24 hours.” That’s pretty sweet. The fact that I don’t know of any 24/7 auto repair shops in Los Angeles makes me feel like it’d be a good business opportunity. Read more

Great article! I’ve been following Bob Snell’s articles and the level of stupidity and disregard for the members is disgusting. I am pro-union...

Thanks for posting this. This song brings back of a lot of memories, thankfully not related to any grand gestures of love. First heard it at a Radiohead show in Grant Park in 2001. Here’s a link to the incredibly horrible video but surprisingly good audio.

Informative post. I’ve been wondering what GM’s ultimate goal was with this lawsuit or what basis they were bringing it. Originally I thought they wanted to nullify their current UAW contract but I don’t think so. My question now is if GM was irreparably harmed by FCA corruption... Is Ford going to join the lawsuit Read more

This is good shit for sure but imagine if GM didn’t have health care costs to use as a bargaining chip in the first fuckin place. Read more
