Do you ever actually follow any of the content in here?

Three GM engineers who never worked on the C8 and are now retired explain why the C8 took so long? That sounds credible.

These "content curators" are completely out of touch and incompetent. Why do they keep posting old news or things that have been debunked? Delete this.

What is the point of you? All you do is provide links to your write up of info that has been known for a long time, worthless info, and outdated renderings. And now here you are explaining to us how former engineers explain how something new took so long. Right...
