This is the brand new combo Cadillac/Pontiac General Motors product. It is the only vehicle General Motors can manufacture now that Congress is running the company and after bankruptcy. You should see the consolidated vehicle that Chrysler is making now...

That is one awsome ring. There is a lot of meaning and symbolism behind that ring.
