I'm in, heck I think I'll even blow that Friday off from work and head down early.

Clearing South Clyde @ 15:25 and into the siding.

Mike, we are talking 2 different things. You make CROSSOVERS and my BorgWarner plant makes 4x4 and TRUCK parts. TRUCKS, are going to be decreasing, although it was announced today the company won the bid for the new Toyota Tundra 4 speed. More work for me :) My point was, that nothing is slowing do...

Sorry, it wasn't supposed to sound pissy. Yeah, LGR seems to have had quite a bit of downtime..... must be nice

I did find this on the autoracks though. ....

I hear GM is overstocked. My father in law and a few other of my friends work there for them in Lansing. Target is around a 60 day inventory for new models. Currently many models have over a 230 day inventory. GM is taking a production break at the beginning of April and many of the employees in La...

Putting this in the Michigan section only because I work at GM LDT. Right now if you drive through the city of Lansing, you'll notice in empty lots (such as the empty space where Fisher Body used to be) that there are lots of brand new GM crossovers parked and not being shipped. We're hearing rumors...

Lens hoods are for protection, filters are not.

I haven't been able to make the last few meets, but I know I'd rather have someplace like Deshler as a central meeting place. I mean, I know as far as train watching it's overdone but it can't be beat for having a place for everyone to hangout at. Maybe a date later in May or early June? What about ...

This year was the first time I went to this show and I thought it was pretty decent. I did manage to find a deal or two on some stuff I've been looking for so I'd say it was worth the drive I even stayed within the budgeted amount of "train money" I told the wife I was gonna spend

I'm glad you guys went yesterday, now I know not to waste my time this afternoon heading to Novi

Flickr Pro is no longer offered but if you have a current pro account you can still keep it and pay for it. Refunds are no longer being offered. Some of the pro features are now available with the free flickr account, but not all of them. The photo and video size limits are bigger now with the free ...

There's not that many differences between a T5i (T4i has been replaced), a 70D, and a 5D Mk III. - Amount of MP - ISO Range (T5i and 70D are the same, 5D goes all the way to 102400) - 70D has the new Dual Pixel CMOS AF with live view - Frame rates (70D wins) - Amount of focus points (this to me is a...

Apparently no one has seen Jochs lately?

I am one against using Photoshop to "Remove" objects. While wires are not as bad—removing objects and/or people seems wrong to me. To photograph a scene is to show how it was when you were there—not to "Manipulate" stuff. To me it seems more like some kind of Art instead of photography. I will stay...

G85527 clearing South Clyde @ 13:32.

G855 clearing Plymouth diamond at 12:06

In addition to these reasons JIT will not go away because it also provides for more rapid identification & correction of problems/issues that may crop up on the parts. In the old method, if a part didn't fit, the installer would just root around in the tub and find one that did & the producers of t...

I just remembered, they are also stamping for the Volt and I believe the Chevy Cruze (Lordstown). As far as the "just in time" stuff goes, they (speaking only for GM here) will never go back to keeping a lot of parts inventory on hand due to the way the production process is these days. Product life...

This makes no sense at all. Pontiac Metal Fab only stamps for Orion Assembly and it would be silly to have rail service just for that. GM and their "just in time delivery" over the years got rid of most of the shipping of parts by rail. The truck plants are really the only ones who get any parts by ...
