my bluff has been called! :lol:

it's ok. i'll take your word for it, although if you have any examples handy, that'd be great. i honestly had a hard time believing people would be so childish as to drop something they liked because someone else said something they didn't like. oh well. to each their own.

Oh hell, if that's the case, you guys should go back to talking about your souped up ricers.  :laughing:

no problem. i didn't believe ben, either, by the way. that's why i asked. my understanding was that basically the trustee at this point can plan to do whatever they please with the assets, but if other creditors file against planned actions or the directors themselves demonstrate solvency, then things change. plus the directors can appeal directly to the court to overturn the decree prior to the issuance of the final report. but they had better hurry because the trustee can start running things if they really wanted to.

gotta say the 'dog ate my homework thing' from ben sounded absurd, but it's possible. unlikely and demonstrative of a terrible third-party administrative agent, but possible. anyway -- i'm curious to see how things end up. depending on who the 'creditors' are, hey, a bankruptcy might be a force for good, as evert has stated over on AWN. we'll see.

I know from here that very small companies outsource administration (accounting and so on) to special small services companies. It is still embarrassing for a attorney that this happens to him. What still wonders me is that "one missed letter" leads to being appointed bankrupt. Letter can be gone lost so I am pretty sure that bankruptcy here in germany (if not declared voluntary) is at the end of a process ignoring letters. But of course perhaps it is true. But even if it is now a legal process that is in the works and situation will depend on what happens now around the appointed attorney.

I see your souped up ricers and raise you a couple pics of my truck that I took this morning, just for this thread.  ;)

Man, I wish I still had my old cars: '70, '76, and '79 Oldsmobiles, and my 1972 Buick Electra "deuce and a quarter".  That thing had a 7.5L, 455 cubic inch engine (same as my '70 Olds).  Used to say it would pass everything but gas stations.  It got about 10mpg, downhill, in neutral, with a tail wind.  Full power everything though: power windows, power seats, power steering, power brakes, power doorlocks, etc.  It was full-on luxury, and no fancy computers to make it complicated to work on.  ;)

Time passes and I needed a practical vehicle, though.  Here's my current truck, an '07 Colorado.  Does fantastic in the snow, just gotta watch out for all the yahoos out there playing bumper cars on the roads.  Ugh!  :(  Waiting for 2016 for the new diesel Colorado's to come out, they should be something!  :)

Have a little fun, it's going to be all backbiting and speculation about the Hyperion situation at this point in time, anyway.  And who wants to read that?  :lol:

Since we're discussing cars and bankruptcy...

I just bought a new-ish Camaro and gave my oldest son the 97 Firebird I've been driving forever.

After having the car for two days (tonight) he calls me and says that "there was a loud noise so I pulled over and when I put it in park, it still rolls".

He's broken either a u-joint (I hope) or the drive shaft or something. Not sure which yet.

I just now got it towed back home, so now I know what I'm doing for the weekend.:pint:

U-joints aren't too bad.  Hope the repairs don't leave you bankrupt!  ;)

Yeah, I hope it's something expendable like that. I'd hate to go scrounging for a driveshaft this weekend.

Hopefully it didn't flop too much when whatever it is came loose.

This just wasn't what I had planned when I budgeted for getting that car last week.

Should be split, car talk moved to off topic/coffee shop or whatever and they can continue the discussion there.

Makes it nice and tidy.

Bring something to the discussion then instead of making stupid comments about stupid car comments. I thought most of the discussion was over and we were in wait and see mode here.
