Being from a blue-collar union family in the oil patch, I'm ambivalent about the UAW

I'm probably a minority, but my interest is in that I like GM cars and trucks.

Really - I always have, and have owned a string of them that I have always had great service from. I like the styling (generally) and the engineering. I think they put out a pretty good product, all things considered. Most of the Japanese stuff holds as much interest to me as buying a new washing machine. Some of the German stuff has tempted me in the past, but its usually about as affordable as GM.

I'd really like GM to keep on building some of the great machines they have in the past, and be able to do it profitably and sell them affordably.

But right now, and for the forseeable future, I buy my GM cars used and let someone else pay for the UAW surcharge.

If you are buying parts for GM cars, you’re still paying the union surcharge.
