Given that Ohio already is doling out more than $80 million in incentives over 15 years, it wasn't an insignificant offer. GM, for the record, declined. Wagoner's here, but not foreverWagoner, by the way, isn't hanging it up anytime soon -- but he won't be around indefinitely. 'I'm planning on staying around and working with our team and driving us into our next 100 years,' Wagoner told PBS interviewer Charlie Rose in a talk broadcast this week. Wagoner has been in the job since 2000 -- 'a pretty good while.' 'Someone was telling me the other day, 'Boy, it seems like you've been around forever.' I said 'Boy, try sitting in my shoes. Time goes pretty slow here some times,'' Wagoner told Rose, acknowledging that his 'death knell' has been written 'a number of times.' Wagoner noted he turned 55 this year -- the age many business leaders become a CEO, he said. 'I still really enjoy the business. I feel like what we're doing is exciting. You don't often get a chance to be part of reinventing an industrial icon that I think is so important to our industry and our country,' he said during the hour-long interview. But Wagoner won't serve as long as a certain 76-year-old company vice chairman. 'I'm not going to be a Bob Lutz -- I can promise you that,' he said. Cruisers cruised through burgersThe Woodward Dream Cruise seems to break a record of some sort every year. Hunter House Hamburgers, an institution along Woodward in Birmingham since 1952, broke a sales record during the four-day event. Tapping into nostalgia and cheap fare ($1.80 for a slider), Hunter House served a record 20,000-plus hamburgers to hungry cruisers. The grocery list included more than 2,000 pounds of meat, 2,000 pounds of onions and 4,000 pounds of French fries. 'This Dream Cruise was our best event ever. We had record attendance and our customers told us we hit a new high,' said Susan Papazian Cobb, Hunter House's president and daughter of owner Al Papazian. Ford vacation home on the blockThe Vail, Colo., ski retreat that President Gerald Ford owned for about a quarter century is on the market for the second time in less than two years, asking $14.9 million. The ski-in, ski-out house of about 10,000 square feet has seven bedrooms and is within walking distance of Beaver Creek village. The seller, real-estate investor Kevin Hayes, bought the home in early 2007 -- a few months after Ford, a Grand Rapids native, died -- for $6.65 million. Hayes says he spent over $4 million on renovations, including wiring and plumbing and putting in a new kitchen and floors, as well as landscaping. During his presidency, Ford, a former Michigan congressman, frequently took ski vacations in Vail. He got his choice of lots when the Beaver Creek resort was developed in the 1970s, the resort said. In 1982, he spearheaded the AEI World Forum, an annual gathering of politicians and executives in Beaver Creek. Contributors: Manny Lopez and David Shepardson.
