June 7, 200718 yr $3,075,000 for a GM model? That kills the bugatti veyron for bragging rights... But it's nowhere near as cool
June 7, 200718 yr Since GM sold the locomotive business some time ago this seems a little strange. I was gonna say... I thought I heard that they sold EMD... *googled* Yup, now it's Electro Motive Diesel (instead of Division), owned by a couple equity firms. Where is GM coming up with locomotives to sell to Egypt?
