General Motors has finally filed for bankruptcy yesterday. They’re looking at getting out of it in 60-90 days, which is unrealistic in my book seeing as how GM is a much more complicated case compared to Chrysler. So the years of shoddy workmanship and their refusal to listen to the needs of the market has finally caught up with them. They say that GM will come out of this as a leaner and more efficient company. But if they still somehow cling to the same ideals they have in the past, then I think we can expect them to stay unprofitable for a significant number of years to come.

One minor good thing that comes out of this though is that you can get GM halo cars such as the Corvette for a very low price nowadays. If only I had the money…

I came across these pictures recently while browsing for stuff about my favorite game Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on Playstation 3. Apparently the developers of the game (Polyphony Digital) use Autodesk Maya exclusively for creating the models of the cars and environments. I think it’s really cool that a game such as GT5 Prologue, which is known for extreme attention to detail and for being one of the first games to harness the full power of the PS3, uses an off the shelf product available to most consumers in creating their models.
