CHEVY MALIBUThe folks from
Morse Chevrolet lent me a shiny red 2009 Chevy Malibu to try out for a month. Most people like 'em for their fuel efficiency, their super-quiet interiors, or their sophisticated on-board computer systems. I was even more thrilled with turn-by-turn directions from OnStar, not to mention the killer sound system!
HEAVY METAL
Truta and I were invited to tour the Chevy plant in Fairfax, Missouri. Imagine 85 acres of factory under one roof -- more than double the floor space of the Sprint Center! Plus, this enormous factory has a set of train tracks running straight through.
SANDALS? REALLY?For safety's sake, anyone not wearing proper protective gear on their feet must be carted through the walking tour. I teased Truta for wearing open-toed shoes at first. Then it dawned on me that he got to hang out with the gals and skip the long hike. Hmmm, maybe the boy is smarter than he looks after all, LOL.
WE ARE THE ROBOTS
Here, roughly 2,600 locals (and countless robots straight out of a Kraftwerk video) work 'round the clock to assemble the award-winning Chevy Malibu. (Big thanks to Steve Farr for the factory photos.)
