It’s no doubt this is hurting Government Motors. Obama and thugs hurt a lot of people due to the bailout of the UAW retirement fund and many are not forgetting it.
Will never buy a GM
nor will I ever rent a GM (hear me Hertz/Avis/National).
Just got back from an 18 day business trip...rented a Hyundai instead.
13% my foot! No conservative I know will ever buy a GM or Chrysler product again. It’ll be liberals who patronize them.
I just bought a 2012 VW Beetle.....I shopped Audi, Porsche, VW, BMW and a couple Fords.
GM was persona non grata.
Amen to that.
I drive an Asian-label car built in a Red State by non-union auto workers.
I’m one of the proud 13%. Check out my tag line that I have had ever since they bailed out GM and screwed the bondholders and taxpayers
My current car is a pre-bailout GM, and while most of my cars have always been GM, I can guarantee you that I will never buy another one as long as I have a choice in the matter.
I didn’t leave GM, GM left me.
Enterprise was low on cars the other day due to the recent hailstorm in St. Louis, and all they could offer me was my choice between five Chevy Impalas and a just-returned-and-cleaned Nissan Altima.
Man, that Altima was nice!
“The auto bailouts seemed to have an underlying goal of protecting the powerful UAW. Perhaps nowhere else is the blatant inequity evidenced than in the treatment of Delphi retirees. UAW retirees had their retirement benefits protected while non-union retirees lost theirs. Congressional investigations are ongoing in the obviously biased redistribution of wealth that favored the UAW.”
nuff said.
GM and Chrysler are off the list for the rest of my life.
Fixin to have to buy a vehicle later this year.
Used Toyota is on the top of the list.
and that’s that.
I am driving our third Saturn after a Chevette and a Skyhawk. Any additional cars come from Ford Motor Company or an Asian brand. Mrs. jimfree craves a Mustang convertible and she is due for the next car.
General Motors is becoming China Motors

Our household is proudly GM-free since 2009!
What about the poor consumers who purchased a new GM vehicle just prior to the bailout/bankruptcy/reorganization. They got shafted on warranties. One in particular I recall reading about last year was a bearing issue in the Impalas... a rear wheel could just "fall off" the vehicle with no advanced warning... GM refused to fix it, saying it was under the "old" GM, not the "new" GM. Not sure whatever became of it, but it seems that there were even some police vehicles involved.
I’ve seen exactly ONE of those on the road around here, and a handful at two Chevrolet dealers.
Thing is - there are no public “plug-ins” for these beasts. So you have to spend another arm and leg for a charging station for your garage (you do have a garage, right?).
Insanity.
You can bet on it that no one in our family will ever in any of our life times buy a GM product. Even if we had lots of money and they were the very best you could buy!

I share my love of all things GM and Chrysler with you and everyone I talk to about cars. Heck, I won’t even look at the articles in Car & Driver or Road & Track that tout those two. Both mags seem to be shilling for the won and the dems.
The bailout process of GM was sneaky and slimy beyond unfair, probably illegal and corrupt.
The whole process was worse than porn to watch.
While witnessing the slime, I vowed to myself to never knowingly purchase a product produced under the representation of an Obama supporting Union. UAW is only one of them.
