Doc Brown, it's just a quick 4.5 hour drive (one way) and it's only $500. I expect a build thread!

Well, yeah. That looks like a ZF transmission. The likelihood is that anything with a ZF trans is going to need a tow truck to go anywhere at any given time

I took my Lean Six Sigma Black Belt from a former GM employee that worked in GMs quality department.

At the time the Fiero was the highest quality car GM had ever made.

For those that don't know. Quality in manufacturing is controlling and preventing a deviation from design specification beyond accepted tolerance.

Now what does THAT tell you about GM.

I think that's a pretty good definition of quality from a manufacturing standpoint. It's got nothing to do with the engineering, which isn't manufacturing's job.

Exactly, but what does that tell you about GM engineering then?
