I refuse to buy a GM vehicle! Obviously the Japanese have been kicking America’s butts for years in lean manufacturing, gas mileage, & overall efficiencies. Unions must be abolished too! I am not quite sure how this can be done though?

I will never forget working for a auto manufacturing company several years ago. The union had such a grip on things. There was no way anyone could be fired and no incentive to work hard.

Kevin, you are the best. HOWEVER, I’ve driven GM products my entire life. My Dad, a Ford man, switched to GM after driving some of my rides. He currently has a 2001 Yukon with 340,000 documented miles on it. In fact, it’s first calamity just occurred, no reverse, when he was chasing trains up in the Rockies [don't ask]. I have to ask some on this forum to think before they rant about GM. What has occurred is a travesty but with GM we at least save some North American manufacturing prowess for a couple of years. What we saved with the bank bail out is not that clear to me.

I had to take exception to Lutz’s comment about quality. I have a 2003 Z06 Corvette and a 2004 Cad SRX V8 AWD. Not a single problem with either and the poor devils are thrashed to a degree that is actually criminal as described by the Iowa Motor Vehicle Division.

In the last 15 years or so I have owned a 92 Olds Tornado Trofeo, a 97 Eldo, a 99 Corvette, a 2001 Silverado, an 03 Avalanche, the two I have now as well as my better half’s Lincoln pick up. These are flawless vehicles. It’s a tragedy so many people drank the media koolaid concerning American business and particularly American vehicle manufacturers. Say what you want about the UAW, it’s the media and uncritical consumption of it’s content that has sabotaged U.S. business since at least the ’60s. Thanks for listening to my rant.

I stumbles across this site by accident & they do say some of the greatest discoveruies were accidents. Keep up the good work Kevin, but you do know you’re a racist, right? lmao. I also grew up in GM town (Flint, Mi) my step brother is a prime example of the UAW & what it stands for. A supervisor came by & saw his work area was trashed & told him to clean it up. Union rules state management cannot speak to employess with a commitee man present for the event. My stepbrother immediately screamed for his union rep & refused to clean up his area. He spent the next 2 hours dropping little screws in the piston shafts of the motors he was working on, he said that would that S.O.B. he couldn’t push them around. By his own account he ruined over 50 motors & cost GM over $40,000 dollars, I have not bought a GM vehicle since & that was 1985.

@GH
I am convinced if the country knew the way unions actually operate once they force their foot in the door of America’s businesses, the would be sickened by the behavior and vote all unions out of their company and damn them to hell!

Even the union members are kept in the dark about the union’s skank behavior and wreckless spending of their hard earned dues money. Seriously? Pay someone out of my paycheck to “represent” me? WTF? Represent me how? Oh, I forgot, they do “fight” hard to keep useless employees around. They do “fight” hard to ensure that the laziest, worst employee makes exactly the same as the stellar ones. Remember, equal pay for equal work. The union “gets me” benefits and wage increase? Give me a break. The business owners pay for benefits and everything else. Unions just take the credit and all the sheeple (members) goose step along right behind their union reps without a clue.

I say, let me represent myself with my outstanding work ethic and drive and contributions and get those union thugs out of my way to success!

I’ve never bought a foreign care in my life, but I will NEVER buy ANYTHING made by UAW ever again.
Gubment Motors and Cry-slur STOLE our 401k and bond money and stuffed it into their FAILED pension plans.
Obama told the folks in California he would run every smoke-stack industry out of America. Then he went to Detroit and told UAW he was going to save their jobs.
Someone got “played”…

UAW kissed Obama’s ass…
…Obama shit in their face!

STITCH!

Joe, you are correct! Ford should sue GM for unfair business practices. Maybe we taxpayers, should sue for theft of our money!
