No doubt pissing away an estimated $50-$60 million on the Superdome raised a few eyebrows in headquarters, too.

Next, get rid of some of Lieb's appointments like the head of MB Manhattan.

Since Jon (?) Corzine, Politico and MF Global head, and he are neighbors maybe they can open a solar car endeavor with NJIT input and get Federal funding.

NY City Driver

LOL!

I see you know MB Manhattan as well. Was much better with the last GM.

My father, a clam digger from the South Shore, and my wife's dad, from Toronto, used to make an annual visit to the Manhattan Auto Show with us kids all dressed up. Sometimes they ordered cars or my pop went to the local Packard ! Dealer to get his MB.

It was an event like going to Whitehouse and Hardy for hats and gloves or Abercrombie and Fitch for sporting gear and clothes.

Oh, I did not know her family then, but just the same both of our dads would be chagrined with MBM. Right 601?

NY City Driver

Sorry, you got me on that one, but roger on the MBM comments. And the "new guy" is Lieb's man.

grane

601 is a great fellow who owns allegedly an MBM AMG and also, if I recall, a superb album by Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music.

It's sad to see the MBM ads for new and used cars. Money doesn't come with instructions.

NY City Driver

Sorry, I'm new here. Is MBM where you get or service your cars? It is for me.

I can recall about ten years back on other MB lists that MB Manhattan was regarded as the worst dealership in the country.

NY City Driver

Oh, it's very easy to come up with much worse in the metropolitan area. Try the Brooklyn dealer, to name one.

Actually, the previous MB Manhattan GM was a great guy as was the service boss under him. The Lieb-appointed replacement has been horrible and his replacement of service head was a disaster, since replaced.
