What appears to be a cell phone-wielding cameraman has captured some timely highway footage of a truck driver hauling more than just a few dozen tons of potentially hazardous liquid. We have no idea how a vehicle, apparently a Renault Clio, could possibly find itself in such a precarious and perpendicular position, but we’re even more puzzled as to how the truck driver could possibly pass other vehicles in traffic without noticing a 3,000 pound vehicle on its nose

WSJ speculates about Renault-Nissan taking stake in GM
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: GM , Nissan , Earnings/Financials , Renault , Rumormill Rumors that Renault – Nissan may be interested in taking on a third head have popped once again, with the would-be merger candidate this time being General Motors . Huh, sounds familiar , doesn’t it ? In actuality, The Wall Street Journal is really just speculating on the possible effects of such a deal, and it’s done so with all kinds of number crunching and colorful pie charts. The lone quote from Renault-Nissan head Carlos Ghosn that seems to have sparked the article: “The name of the game is scale and co-investments and sharing technologies.” That’s a common thread from Ghosn and most recently stated at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month.
