Default I'm sorry, I can't respect GM!

The people at GM should have spent some time in jail for that Vega fiasco! Why did Vegas smoke after 40,000, we'll, putting a piston inside of an aluminum block without a steel sleeve is blantant robbery if you ask me! They deserve to go under if you ask me!

The USG will never let GM go under. They will bail them out just like they did Chrysler (civilian automotive) and Lockheed Martin (Defense Contractor).

Chrysler deserved to be bailed out, they never stooped to ripping people off! If they take my tax dollars and give em to a criminal, I've got something to say about it!

I know what you mean but we all pay the salaries, through taxes, of all those Politicians and they are the biggest crooks of all.

People just seem to mindlessly keep going back to GM after getting burned time and again. While I'll never understand this phenomenon I do see a new trend of people realizing that there are more offerings out there from other makers that people are very happy with. Of late I know of several devout Chevy owners that have become DCX brand owners. Theres hope for them yet!

Although my mother had one of those POCs, I have to say that they might not have known quite as much about metals and engines as they do today. Prison sounds a little harsh. That was many years ago.

Deranged, I hear you on that. My parents are rediciliously loyal to GM. They have had 5 lemons out of 7 GM vehicles, and they still consider buying them and still hold on to their GM card, which they have never used the benefits of yet. Our Chrysler products have outlived our GMs by 30,000-60,000 miles on average, and have much fewer problems and still work good before we trade them in.
