Back in the 70s (?) when US car makers got Congress to slap import restrictions on foreign cars, GM jacked up their prices and caved to the UAW while issuing huge bonuses to their managers. I swore then, nearly fifty years ago, never to buy another GM car, and I haven’t. Anyone buying bonds, and certainly equity, in this gigantic Pension Plan that makes cars, may as well burn the money for warmth.
I don’t buy GM products because they fall apart after a couple of years.
What happened to you happened to me in the mid-80s. I avoid anything and everything GM and don't mind griping about them whenever possible.
Worst of all, they waved the American flag while they were picking their customers pockets. “Buy American” was the mantra while they cheapened their quality to save a few bucks at the expense of their customers.
“...this gigantic Pension Plan that makes cars...”
Well said!
