General Motors has been thrown under the bus for the last several years. Rightfully so--the sales of General Motors here in the United States have been outright atrocious--I mean, isn’t that what inspired the infamous “Stimulus Package”? But the Buick LaCrosse put the wind back in GM’s sail as the car brand put out excellent models every year.
The Buick LaCrosse is a mid-size Sedan produced by General Motors and sold under the Buick brand. The LaCrosse, only available as a four door sedan, replaced the Buick Centry and Regal in North America beginning in the 2005. The name for the car brand was inspired by a

Fast and Furious Stars and Cars
April 7th, 2009 - by B Kenney | General Motors News, Racing News, Tuning Cars
The Fast and the Furious series is back again, but this time around it actually includes most, if not all, the characters from the original. You remember Dom Torretto, right? That psycho yet super cool bald dude played by none other than Vin Diesel and, of course, Brian the undercover cop played by Paul Walker, or in simpler terms "the blonde dude that all chicks pretty much dig"? Also returning is Jordana Brewster who plays Toretto's sister Mia, and Michelle Rodriquez who plays Toretto's mean streak girlfriend.
This time, however, it seems as though the actors are not the main stars

Tesla Electric Cars

Nicola Tesla was known for his work with electrical engineering; Tesla Motors is known for their stylish electric autos.
The Tesla Roadster, which already is cruising on highways and streets, was designed specifically to allow electric car users a better performing vehicle. On average, most hybrid and electric cars take nearly 10 seconds total to accelerate from 0-60 MPH after the driver steps on the gas. The Roadster, on the other hand, goes from 0-60 MPH in 3.9 seconds flat; not bad at all for a purely electric car. Other Roadster specs include a 14,000 RPM redline and EPA rating of

The President and the Beast
February 10th, 2009 - by B Kenney | General Auto News, General Motors News
Now that Obama has been elected President of the United States, the White House security staff is working hard to increase protection for our new leader. Obama is the first black US president, after all. There is no telling what could happen to him during his run, especially when you consider the Bush/dangerous shoe incident.
In order to protect our president, the Secret Service has pushed a brand new limousine into commission (obviously not them personally), which is a very large Cadillac limo outfitted with a 5-inch thick body frame, 8-inch-thick doors, run-flat tires, a completely sealed cabin and super thick

Turbine (Jet) Cars?
January 27th, 2009 - by B Kenney | Concept Cars, General Motors News
GM parked a jet-like automobile in the Antique Auto Museum located in Hershey, Pennsylvania, for display to the public in October 2008. The new autos look very similar to military fighter jets and run on nearly the same turbine engine; the only difference is that these vehicles are meant for travel on the ground instead of the air.
The vehicles on display were the Firebird I, II, and III. All three vehicles were created by GM as early as the 1950's by GM's Allison Aircraft Division in Indianapolis. GM Vice President Charles McCuen (active in 1949) was interested in producing a
