The current troubled times that General Motors is going through can easily obscure the simple fact that the company has been wildly successful for almost a hundred years. For decades GM has enjoyed a position of automobile manufacturing supremacy, selling more vehicles around the world than any other company. But that dominance was not without its ups and downs.
General Motors has a long and somewhat complicated history. The company was started by William Durant in 1908 as a holding company for the Buick manufacturing company. Within a year it had acquired Oldsmobile, Cadillac and several other smaller companies.
Very soon after this rapid expansion, car sales in the U.S. softened considerably and the company ran into problems in some ways very similar to those of the last few years. Because he had borrowed heavily to expand the company quickly Durant was forced out of his ownership position so the company could reorganize.
In retrospect this was a good thing and forced Durant to go back to the drawing board. The result was the birth of Chevrolet, a brand modeled to some degree on the ideas of Henry Ford whose original, very successful objective was to make an attractive and affordable car for the working men and women of America.
The success of Chevrolet gave Durant the power and influence to gradually buy back into GM, and within a few short years he had acquired a controlling interest in the company again.
Durant reorganized GM in the U.S. and was also instrumental in forging a partnership with Colonel Sam McLaughlin of Toronto Canada to form General Motors Canada. From that day till the present General Motors has remained an integrated North American company with approximately 20% of its manufacturing capacity located in southern Ontario, Canada.
The early success of the new General Motors Corporation was due in large part to the success of Chevrolet. In those early days "Chevy" was an innovative brand which had carved out a distinctive niche - to provide a better alternative to the "everyman" customer who had come to identify with Henry Ford's early vehicles.
As early as 1918 Chevrolet introduced a production V-8 engine, an overhead valve inline six cylinder engine, more advanced carburetors, the three speed transmission, and a five seater touring vehicle. Innovation continued through the next few decades and GM's share of world wide vehicles steadily increased. By 1931 the company had climbed to the number one position in world wide vehicle sales, a position it would retain until 2007 when Toyota claimed the position.
General Motors' innovation was slowed to some degree by the war effort. During the World War II much of GM's capacity was given over to production of military vehicles and armaments. But immediately after the war GM was back in high gear producing trend setting vehicles and racking up sales records in the showroom.
By the 1950s General Motors had become an American institution with a vehicle for every market niche - low end, middle of the road, high end, trucks and commercial vehicles - GM was everywhere. In fact by 1963 Chevrolet itself accounted for one in every ten new cars sold in the U.S.
Nick Messe is president of The Lead Frog LLC. Roger's Auto Group has the most affordable cars in the Chicago land area with the best collection of Chicago Chevrolet and other Chicago GMC cars and trucks. When you buy a GMC vehicle you are buying today's innovation for tomorrow's future.

Gran Turismo PSP review
If Gran Turismo PSP was a race car, it'd have go-faster stripes, a fat exhaust and an engine that roars like it wants to take off. But it'd spring an oil leak off the start line, bellow smoke all over the place and fart its way over the finish line.
This is Gran Turismo. The big boy. The game that should define PSP. It's been in development for absolutely yonks. Now we've played it extensively we find ourselves wondering what Polyphony has been doing with it since 2004 because this is not at all the game we expected.
Despite Kazunori himself proclaiming this to be a "fully-fledged" GT game, GT PSP comes across like a rushed patch job. Let us say this first - the physics are really good. The cars handle brilliantly, they have a solid feeling of weight and momentum and you can feel this weight move around as you throw cars into bends and put the suspension under strain.
It's easily the most realistic handling we've seen in a PSP driving game, and all this is done at a silky smooth 60 frames per second which, on the little screen, looks lush. That's why screenshots and trailers had us all excited. But great handling and a smooth frame rate aren't the only important factors of a racing game, and GT PSP falls short in almost every other area.

The main mode of the game has no structure. Hit the single-player option and you have three modes; the standard Time Trial (with no online leaderboards, we might add), Drift Trial (again, no leaderboards and no set goals), and Single Race. That's it.
In Single Race, you're thrown a grid of 45 individual races. Nothing except the race course is pre-determined. The cars you race against are scaled on what car you enter with. So if you're in a Corsa you'll race Puntos and Fiestas, for example. Join in a Ferrari Enzo and the game breaks out the Lamborghinis and Pegani Zondas.
You choose the number of laps - not even that is set - and the difficulty, although only the super-easy Grade D setting is available for each race at first. When you win a race you get cash with which to buy cars and unlock the next grade for that course only.
There are no championships, no trophies and to that end, no sense of achievement. You're just grinding races. Being forced to race the easy grades for each and every race is bloody infuriating. That's hours of monotonous play time spent light-years ahead of the pack on an empty course.

Gran Turismo has in the past been criticised for typically allowing you to buy a fast car and race ahead of the computer. But at least in previous games you knew what challenge a particular event set you, and you worked hard to get a car fast enough to beat it.
When you won it felt like the reward of your efforts to buy and then upgrade your car with all the fattest turbos and whatnot. But there's no parts-based modification in here. You can change some gear ratios, tyres and camber settings, but you can't slap on exhaust kits or new air induction kits - like you could in the PSone games that made the GT series so legendary.
In this, you can enter any race with any car (you have to enter mud and snow courses with a four-wheel-drive car, but that's the only restriction we encountered) and quite easily win, so what's the incentive to buy new cars?
Simply put, there isn't one - not outside of satisfying your own fantasies of getting a car you'll never own in real life. That being the case, you'd think affording that dream Ferrari would take quite some time and effort. That'd give you something to aim for. Nope - we rocked out of the game's training mode with almost a million quid and slapped 500k on a bad-ass super car before we'd even done a single race. Hmm...
The car purchasing system is unique in that not all of the game's 800+ cars are available to buy at the same time. A seemingly random handful of around five dealers are made available for each in-game day (days pass each time you race a couple of events), before they disappear to make way for another five the next day.
The whole idea is that you keep your eye out for the car you want until you're lucky enough for it to appear. We don't like that. When you have nearly a million quid and want to buy a Subaru Impreza for the rally races, it's bloody annoying when it refuses to turn up.
That's essentially what this game boils down to though - it's a collection game. A Pok?on-style, monster hunting, collect-'em-up with 'grinding' disguised as racing, and you're supposed to take satisfaction from needlessly hoarding cars instead of little yellow, pointy-eared monsters. Then trade them with mates who also want to get every car in the game for no reason.
At the very least, we expected the game's visual production values to be through the roof. But it seems that the silky 60-frames-per-second rate came with some hefty cutbacks, too. You'll often see tearing white lines in-between polygons - something we haven't seen since the PSone days.

If you play from the bumper view you'll sometimes see entire polygons on the floor below you disappear as the camera slips just below the texture, particularly when you career into bumpy sand traps.
And during replays (which generally look quite nice) badly positioned camera angles see cars often drive through your point of view, resulting in a mess of disappearing polys. The game has some seriously unforgivably blurry textures too. The cars look amazing, but on occasion the curbs - something you come into direct contact with as you race - look like they're having a blur-off with an N64 game you can't help but notice.
Despite all that, there are only four cars on the course. Ridge Racer on PSP - a launch game we might add - looks better, moves smoothly, is fast as you like and has 12 cars on course. Motorstorm: Arctic Edge (review here) also looks brilliant, is packed with visual detail, has great physics and holds up solid with ten cars on course. That's just better.
As big fans of the series, we have to say, we're bitter. This is not what we expected from Kazunori's boys. They can do better than this. They have done better than this on a home console with a fraction of the power (we're talking about the stunning Gran Turismo 2).
Superb car handling is the only redeeming factor for GT PSP. It feels great to drive. But that driving needed to be packaged with an actual racing game and that game isn't here. It's just an endless grind of relatively easy, empty course driving, and a far cry from the "full-scale Gran Turismo experience" it was claimed to be.

93' Manual Subaru Impreza won't shift into gear?
For some reason the car will not go into gear. The shifter will move into any position but it doesnt make any noise or anything. It seems like the car is shifting but the transmission isnt catching. When the car is shifted and it is running using the clucth it makes no noise. The clucth still has a bit of pressure left. I have no idea what is wrong with it.
Either a clutch problem or internal problem like the synchronizers for example
Special! Subaru adds spec-C suspension bits to the WRX STI:
What makes this a "special edition?"
