About every third tar strip, I had to adjust that Pontiac steering to keep it in the lane. Even my 1980 Accord in the mid 1990s did not wander about the highway.

No innovation existed in a GM car in the past 30 years - except those required by Federal regulations. GM products were designed in the accounting department. Then MBAs blamed union workers for their problems. GM products costs more to build than comparatively equipped Mercedes Benz - because cost controls increase costs. Because GM products are designed by business school graduates (and people like my friend who is also a lawyer).
