My car is supposed to be built this week. Since today is Cinco De Mayo, will it come with a trunk full of margartias?? 
GM partially started up about 30 plants last week or 2 weeks ago from what I read. I'm going to assume the HHR plant was one of them.

I don't know if HHR production is on or off.

Ahhhh Ray.....I must have missed something !!!
Where are you getting the idea that American Axle is in a labor dispute with GM????? I was under the impression the dispute (as always) was with the UAW. From the article.....
GM is American Axle's largest customer, accounting for nearly 80% of the Detroit supplier's sales. The UAW launched a strike against American Axle more than seven weeks ago, in the face of the supplier's demands for steep wage and benefit cuts that American Axle says it needs to compete with other U.S. suppliers

What I don't quite understand is how GM can legitimately provide $200M for this and another $600-700M for their Recen building, which they just purchased. My god, we're talking almost a billion dollars in just these 2 exchanges. Somethings not QUITE RIGHT !!
