she not only broke the glass ceiling, I think she is having the glass frames removed.  And now that GM is no longer government motors, with all money paid back, GM might give Ford a real run for its money.  Of course Ford never had to go to the government trough either.

Her Dad was a retired senior exec at GM, ran their factories here and I think in Spain, and while the GM family discount was nice, there was no way Daddy's little girl was going to buy anything other than GM. And since when I met my wife she was driving a Cadillac STS, well when I kept trying to keep the price down on subsequent vehicles, at least once in a while she got a new Cadillac.  And I have one now, sitting parked off to the side in our driveway, the shiniest reddest thing I've ever seen, looks like a Christmas ornament all by itself.  Going to see if the leasing company will take it back a year earlier for some egregious amount of money.  My little Golf TDI happily sits in the garage.
