This time, I got angry. I did swear. I did not raise my voice. I did say that reporters have been talking to me. I did say that the next call I make is to the LA Times to discuss the terrifying idea that GM is not making parts to cover its vehicles, which is odd given the bailout.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

not your mom's socks.
Allyson, have you written to the Consumerist? (http://consumerist.com/)
Also I'd love to see Cartalk take this one on and help you out. And the LATimes of course.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How did you find that, Ginger? I cannot navigate that site for crap.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, that site is tough to navigate, but the article is good. And it says they called, too, so GM should start hearing stuff, because that type of thing spreads. Make sure you have your documentation, Allyson, I'm thinking you're going to need it.
I clicked on the "car news" icon at the top, then Allyson's story was on top of the middle small column.

I have decided to sneak exercise in my life. I'm going to try using the stairs going down at work from now on.
Problem is, I've assiduously avoided exercise for the past three or so years. Those ten flights of stairs feel perfectly effortless while I do them, but they make my legs wobbly when I'm done.
