When we saw them being assembled at the GM engine plant in Warren, Michigan, five years ago this month, it was clear that these engines were intended to be "modules," not to be disassembled or tampered with by those without an automated assembly line. Overhauls or--Heaven forfend!--serious modifications by the unwashed were not part of GM's planning.
That engine plant once employed 12,000 people on three shifts. In 2002 the total number of employees was 72. The computers outnumbered the human beings in the building. We may wonder who is buying the automobiles that computers, not people, build.
God's Peace to you.
