The Main Problem With Fictionalized Autobiography



Come on now,
Who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are?
Ha ha ha, bless your soul
You really think you're in control?

First On My Block



This is the badge for the Baojun marque, which is a joint venture between General Motors and two Chinese automakers, Liuzhou Wuling and SAIC/Shanghai. SAIC owns the UK marque MG (of which we still have high regard in our family). The current Baojun product, the 630, is an economy four-door sedan in roughly the same class as my current Chevy Prizm Moonshine.

I'd already thought of re-badging Moonshine as a Holden, or a Vauxhall, or an Opel, or even a Shacman. Suddenly the Baojun looks to be the way to go, as the name starts with B and it's got that horse logo that's kind of like the one Ford used on their Stallion version of the Mustang II.
