Report: UAW losing pay advantage (#)

„Unions are crap, one of the major factors forcing American autos to produce more cars than they sell due to union "requirements" and cutting corners due to cost. Even tho the boys at toyota are getting paid more i guarantee you American autos pay out more than toyota does total due to unions. Its a scam thats not needed anymore. Good companies value their employees and do not need to be forced to treat them properly.“

„It should also be noted that Belgrade winner Nuvolari actually drove car 76011, which had chassis number 26 and engine number 26, according to the Auto Union archives. A copy of this archived document can also be found in Kirchberg™s older book Grand Prix Report Auto Union 1934-1939. Car 76010 had originally been assigned to Nuvolari, but since he did not show up at the practice days and his arrival was not assured, 76010 was given to Müller.”“

In fact, this car was inspired by the Auto Union race cars of the 1930s. The design is said to evoke the mood of LA’s nightlife.“

Auto Union Type D (#)

„Auto Union started the new season under a cloud. Professor Ferdinand Porsche's contract was not renewed after the 1937 season in a strange case of economics and was snapped up by Mercedes who fed his company several lucrative contracts. Just after the beginning of the year they lost their greatest driver when Bernd Rosemeyer was killed during a speed attempt.“

Tesla Motors Opens Michigan Tech Center; Focus on Upcoming Electric Sports Sedan (#)

„Let's just hope they manage to keep the UAW out of their manufacturing plant. For all the good the union has done its members, it has forced auto industry managers to pursue product strategies that have proven not only detrimental to the environment (specifically, the climate) but also perilous to the balance sheets in times of high oil prices.“

Detroit's intractable problem (#)

„For about a month now, analysts and media have been clattering about the potential for big health care concessions from the United Auto Workers union in this year™s contract talks.
