GM to drop Quadrasteer option

"GM to drop Quadrasteer option

"General Motors is dropping the innovative steer-by-wire steering system
available on its full-sized pickups and SUVs at the end of the 2005 model
year."

I'd love to tell the GM Exec's I told you so on this one.

Another I told you so!

"GMC sliding roof slides away

"Envoy XUV didn't come close to sales predictions

"So much for hauling grandfather clocks. General Motors has decided to kill
the GMC Envoy XUV, an SUV with a power-operated sliding roof over the cargo
area. The roof enables the XUV to carry tall cargo, such as a grandfather
clock. That was touted in XUV advertising."

[SNIP]

I guess the GM engineers didn't realize that one can lay grandfather clocks
on their backs to move them...moved mine a few times that way over the last
20+ years or so.

Cold water heaters, on the other hand...!

(Why would you want to heat hot water? Most of us want to heat *cold*
water so as to *make* it hot.)

Seems to me a cold, water heater couldn't heat anything.

The idea was to incorporate the fly-by-wire into a land based vehicle!
I guess it didn't work out as expected >>Hey, **** happens!....<grin>

Now, I hear refridgerators don't like to lie on their sides. at least
don't plug 'em in until a few hours go by. it seems the fluid has to
re-position.
