Why (some) GM products suck - Page 5

I agree. The automobile industry has gotten enough money. They didn't need this as well. Although, I imagine some people could use it to help them get a new car. I just wish, if they were going to do this, they would have done it a lot smarter.

They can't. The spigot is open for the next 4 years. There is a complete loss of self control.

yea. They could do that as well.

Personally, I thought it was stupid and sneaky to put that in the last supplemental for war spending. It should have been somewhere else.

NEWSFLASH

Sugarpop and Classicman have agreed on something!

In other news, lions have been seen in compromising positions with lambs, and a pig has disappeared off radar somewhere over the North Pacific.

... and now over to Bealzebub, with the weather report, and it seems we're expecting snow flurries and subzero temperatures as far down as the fifth circle ...

After all these years of abusing my automobile's appearance in hopes of reducing it's value, it seems that my car is now worth at least $3500. How depressing.

All the past years of old fast food wrappers in the cavity where the death seat used to be, the discapline of not washing it for years on end, using the hood as a work table complete with corresponding scratches and chemical spills have been a wasted effort.

How else might I devalue my POS so as to convince the world at large that I don't have 2 nickels to rub together and that my car is not worth stealing or vandalizing?

Years of consistent (non) effort....wasted.

ZenGum · 06-17-2009, 08:56 AM

LOL ... but easy. Spend heaps converting it to a hybrid drive system. Then you can't get the trade in cause you wont be improving your economy.
Spend, man, spend, spend, spend. That's what'll fix this : manic grin :

Would a small team of amish horses change it's catagory to "hybrid"?

Oh yeah. That clunky horse hitch on the front. Yeah, that would scream "don't bother stealing this car (buggy)"

classicman · 06-18-2009, 08:55 AM

Wow - how succinct is that?

Bullitt · 06-18-2009, 11:53 AM

Pretty much sums up my feelings about it.

It's a bit tough on Ford, epsecially since it's a Ford vehicle pictured, when they haven't taken any Bailout money, and have done the best of the Detroit three to up quality to match foreign owned brands ( who's quality has dropped helpfully) and produce some better vehicles.

Apparently they will be screwed by not taking the handouts and declaring bankruptcy, becaue they have borrowed heavily to retool, whereas Chrysler and GM will come out debt free.

Was also hoping the cash for clunkers program would smooth the way to a new minivan, the MPG stats on a 2009 Honda Odyssey are exactly the same as a 2001 Ford Windstar
