    For Immediate Release: Monday, Jan. 5, 2015 GM Deliveries up 19 percent in Blockbuster December x Chevrolet up 20 percent x Buick up 32 percent; GMC up 23 percent x Cadillac, Trucks and SUVs Drive Record ATPs DETROIT – General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) dealers in the United States delivered 274,483 vehicles last month for the company’s best December sales in seven years. Total sales were up 19 percent compared to a year ago. Retail sales were up 23 percent and fleet deliveries were up 6 percent. “Chevrolet was strong in every segment of the market, from pickups and SUVs to cars and crossovers. Buick and GMC also had strong sales across the board, and our growth far outpaced the industry average,” said Kurt McNeil, U.S. vice president of Sales Operations. “Everything you need to have a great month was in place: Consumers felt good about the direction of the economy, interest rates and fuel prices were low, and our dealers did a great job introducing customers to our incredible range of new and redesigned vehicles.” GM’s unique three-pickup strategy – with new models spanning the light-duty, heavy-duty and mid-size segments – drove combined deliveries to almost 87,000 units in December, a 43-percent increase compared with a year ago. Five GM vehicles – the Chevrolet Corvette and Spark, the Buick Enclave and Encore and the GMC Sierra – had their highest December sales ever.

  • CAR TROUBLE a Dark Comedy...About Suicide
    CAR TROUBLE A dark comedy...about suicide FADE IN: EXT. WOODS - DAY We open on a middle-aged MAN wearing a business suit as he sits in a gorgeous and immaculately maintained 1970s classic BRITISH CAR which is sitting in the middle of a secluded wooded area. INT. CAR - DAY The man looks despondent as he sits in the car. He’s mentally preparing himself for his mission. After some tense moments he takes his leather bound note pad and pen and scribbles a message on it then places the note pad on the passenger’s seat. He puts both hands on the steering wheel and looks out the windshield, takes a couple of deep breaths to ready himself then opens the door and gets out of the car. EXT. CAR/WOODS - DAY The camera tracks the exterior of the car and finds the man at the trunk. He’s getting out a long garden hose. From the interior of the car we see the hose poke through the window which is only about half way up. Realizing the window needs to be closed more, he reaches into the car and turns the key to the on position. When he presses the switch to raise the window, the window starts to move but stops. He presses the window switch again but the window doesn’t budge. He presses the button a few more times in succession but nothing. MAN Come on, come on. As he presses the switch the window moves again but then stops then starts again then finally stops.

  • Decision, and This Appeal Followed
    REPORTED IN THE COURT OF SPECIAL APPEALS OF MARYLAND No. 713 SEPTEMBER TERM, 2014 JOHN T. MITCHELL v. MARYLAND MOTOR VEHICLE ADMINISTRATION Eyler, Deborah, S., Arthur, Kenney, James. A., III (Retired, Specially Assigned), JJ. Opinion by Eyler, Deborah, S., J. Filed: November 25, 2015 John T. Mitchell applied to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (“MVA”) for vanity plates bearing the letters MIERDA. The application was granted. Two years later, the MVA received a complaint from a member of the public about Mitchell’s vanity plates. It investigated and determined that “mierda” is the Spanish word for “shit.” Pursuant to a State regulation giving the MVA discretion to deny or rescind vanity plates that contain profanities, epithets, or obscenities, the MVA rescinded Mitchell’s vanity plates. Mitchell challenged the MVA’s action in a contested case hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”). The ALJ decided that the MVA properly exercised its discretion to rescind Mitchell’s vanity plates and that its action did not violate Mitchell’s First Amendment right to free speech. The Circuit Court for Prince George’s County upheld the decision, and this appeal followed. The novel issues before this Court are whether messages on vanity plates are government speech or private speech on government property; and if they are the latter, what degree of government restriction may be imposed on that private speech under the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment.1 We hold that Mitchell’s vanity plate message is private speech on government property, not government speech. Under prevailing United States Supreme Court jurisprudence, Maryland vanity plates are a “nonpublic forum,” in which government restrictions on private speech will pass muster 1 The First Amendment to the United States Constitution applies to the States through the Fourteenth Amendment.
