Former Romanian car czar Ion Mihai Pacepa’s confession in today’s WSJ, and Jeff Tucker’s commentary, reminds me of our Trabant series from a while back (the video link is still among our most popular). Look forward to a future video of a GM (i.e., government) worker putting the finishing touches on the next Nova.
