Chris, PEP 2 is 7.5% of MSRP (not including shipping) subtracted from GMS. For example:
MSRP is $34k
GMS is $31k
PEP 2 price is $31k-$2550=$28,450
Then take the rebate money ($3k) off.
Final price is $25,450 plus tax and fees.
Not a bad deal, IMO.

Just got the latest motortrend in the mail yesterday. Right in the front is an article on the new z/28. According to Motortrend, GM says the car is basically done. Cool right? The only problem is this. The Z/28 is on hold. First Gm ran out of money to finish and launch the car. Then some of the insiders are thinking that its not too smart to bring out a super fast car thats a 2 door that will get no better than 13-19 MPG. They dont think it would be wise to sell this car because they had to beg the politicians for money, and most of the politicians think that GM should be building gas sipping prius clones. So one way that Gm thinks they could make money is to individually number each car make them a high value collector car and price them to insure a solid profit margin. That Effing blows IMO!
Im sure that there is a thread on this on the main page of Tech, but i want to see what you guys think.

As long as GM keeps making V8s in something, I don't care at this point honestly.
They try to release cars for the enthusiast market (G8 for example) and the general market shuns them, so they're going to have to keep releasing more and more Honda clones, and make the V8/performance cars special editions. As long as there is a steady supply of older cars that don't weigh 4500 lbs that I can cram a GM V8 into, I'm content.
I think the V8 fun cars are a dying breed in this market.

CAFE and the government are killing the US auto industry while they preach that they won't let us fail. All the treehuggers want 50 mpg in cars that suck. The big three are good at trucks, not microcars. Japan needs small cars because they are so overpopulated and overdeveloped as a country. Of course they are good at small cars; they have to be. I think the Volt will be a big flop, too. GM is spending millions (billions?) to develop a car that will be too expensive and not economical to drive with gas @ $3/gal., let alone $2! I think GM will be in a government-arranged bankruptcy by May 1st. GM's problem went from an effeciency problem to a demand problem in the last 6 months. There is no demand, so it doesn't matter how effeciently we build vehicles. It's still a losing proposition.

I hate when people don't share information. Especially when they're not getting paid. I understand your situation because you were worried about the grade. I shared a location I had with a guy then asked him for a suggestion to take my friends for a portrait session. He told me to find out that information I would have to pay him.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to push him down a flight of stairs.

What a *****. I have since told numerous people about some of my locations. If I had shared in class someone would have for sure went and taken the same picture, somehow developed before me, and beat me to grading. What made him think his locals were so damn good in the first place? Jerk.Just got the latest motortrend in the mail yesterday. Right in the front is an article on the new z/28.

Thanks! I don't plan on running right out there and burning off a roll of film, I just always enjoyed settings like that. Run down homes and warehouses used to be my thing.

Ken, my wife and I are very sorry for your loss. I have been following your past few days on facebook. It was great to see you were able to make his wishes come true and spend those moments with him. As someone who lost his father at a young age, I know you cannot replace it. Let us know if you need anything.

He was an awsome guy with a big heart and would go out of his way to make you feel welcomed . He will be deeply missed,but I know he's in a better place. As soon as I know the times and dates I will post them for Ken and if anyone wants to get ahold of me personaly about it , PM me your cell or home numbers and I will return all calls

Ken, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. It's never easy to lose someone suddenly or to lose someone when you know it's coming! I lost my father 2 years ago last month, and it makes you think of how "fragile" life is. But don't think of him of how he was at the end, look back at all the good times you had with your father. I think that helps me out a lot!
