NYT Asks Jalopnik If GM Will Ever Go AC/DC

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 17:30:00 EDT

The front page of today's New York Times business section has an excellent feature taking an in-depth look at post-bankruptcy GM. Bonus #1? An insider-y Ward Sutton cartoon. Bonus #2? Two quotes from our very own Ray Wert!

So even if you don't read it for that — or for Wert being used in comparison to Steve "Chooch" Rattner — you should read it for Micki Maynard and Michael J. de la Merced's walk-through and re-cap of the past few months. That, in and of itself, is worth it. But we' just read it for the pictures anyway. [NYT]

How Many Drinks Was That: Roy Wert Edition

Matt Hardigree — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 14:30:00 EST

If you watch this segment closely you can see our own Ray Wert blinking out "my name is Ray, not Roy" to CNBC's Larry "KUDLOW!" Kudlow in Morse Code.

Ray claims the reason he shouted out Kudlow's last name in the segment was to subtly remind Larry of his first name. All we know is we'd like to note Wert is the chillest person on CNBC today — and he even made two strong points:

1.) At sub-$2 per share, the market's already priced in the news.

2.) The Obama Administration needs to decide whether having a homegrown auto industry is important and if it is, they're going to need to pay through the nose to have it.

Well, whatever, the video's below:

How Many Drinks Was That? Colbert Gives Jalopnik A Hummer Edition

Ray Wert — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 11:30:00 EDT

I feel this morning, after my few fleeting moments on The Colbert Report last night in a segment called "The Difference Makers" on the National Hummer Club, giddy as a little schoolboy. Despite my obvious concern that I'd be the butt of the joke, I was relieved to find I escaped unscathed — certainly doing better than GM Vice Chairman "Maximum" Bob Lutz. But, thanks to the Hummer Club coming through with some seriously juicy A-game level quotes, my ass was spared — only taking a minor humorous hit from an on-screen double entendre. Frankly, given the 40 minutes of nervous Q&A I went through last week where the segment producer extracted quite a few potential sharp-edged zingers, I figured I'd probably take a bigger hit than a throw-away blow job joke. But, despite the setting not being the usual places of punditry, it's now time to ask the same question we always ask after a night playing the Official Car Pundit Drinking Game. How many drinks was that? If you missed the segment — hit the jump to see it in full from Hulu, or follow this link to the Colbert Nation website to see my two cut-ins there.
