GM was once ‘Heartbeat of America’

GM was once ‘Heartbeat of America’

GM sold dreams to drivers of all ages. For many Americans, the first Cadillac was a hallmark of success, and the brand became the metaphor for top-quality goods.The GM that helped move the world from horses to Chevys and Cadillacs is expected to file for bankruptcy protection Monday and will likely emerge a shadow of its former self.


Richard Hammond on origins of caravanning
A long time ago, before Boeing invented the 747 jumbo jet, goods had to be transported on the backs of donkeys. And when you have people moving cargo around you have people called robbers who like pinching stuff. Very annoying when you’ve walked for several hundred miles across a desert with heavy bags of spices strapped to your donkey and some bloke with a sword and an Errol Flynn moustache nicks it off you.
