Question Former GM headguy Ron Zarella visits my job tomorrow

I work at Bausch & Lomb Pharmaceuticals. Some of you might know that Ron came back to B&L after his stint at GM. Whether you guys think he did/didn't do a good job at GM may be a reason why our beloved F-bodies are dead. Anyways, if I have a chance I'd like to ask him an off topic question since he will take a tour through the dept. I work in. I'd like to know what his personal opinion is on the demise of the F-bodies. Can you guys think of any better questions?

LOL! The way he ran things into the ground, I'd be surprised if he did....Seriously, all signs point to Ronny Z as one of the key contributors to the F-body's demise, so I feel that a simple middle finger salute and long live the F-body chant would seem appropriate.

bitch slap him and say English mother ****er, do you speak it?

seriously tho, methinks if you ask him anything about the fbody, you'll just get the same lamo responses we've been getting from gm for years....

just say, "seriously ron, the aztek? c'mon..."

i vote for you to find out anything about future products that you can...

Hey , why not ask him about the process in which the F-Body got killed.... he doesn't woprk at GM anymore... maybe he'll talk. He has little to lose, I'd imagine...

(Of course, he could be legally bound not to talk, or might have reasons involving some sort of retireent plan or whatever... but you never know)

... if he doesn't talk.... kick him in the Jimmy...

Talking

Depends on your job security.

Seriously, I'll go along with Darth. I'd really like to hear his rationale behind starving then killing the F-body. I know he isn't solely responsible (GM is way way too large for that), but I'd like to hear it anyway.
