Gm used to make some great cars. Sadly, they now deserve to fade out of existence.

My next vehicle purchase just may be an early 80’s chevy squarebody. I can fix that, and parts are everywhere.

Here’s my understanding about GM’s venture into electric vehicles. They never intended to go into full production on them. They were to be technology demonstrators. They were for press releases and generating buzz, like Chrysler’s turbine cars. But then the government got involved. The liberal theory, and this is theory developed by people who wouldn’t be caught dead in any car costing below seventy thousand dollars, is that “people*” want small, fuel efficient cars. The reason “people*” aren’t buying small fuel-efficient cars is car companies don’t build them. This ignores the fact that you can buy a huge number of small, fuel-efficient cars. But nobody buys them, at least not in the number’s liberals think the “people*” should be buying them. Therefore, the government forced GM to fulfill the “people’s*” “need” for small, Fuel-efficient cars. GM knew from day one that there was not a sufficient market for these vehicles. They knew the technology wasn’t ready…and, they knew about the fire problem from day one. But when the government owns your butt, you do what the government wants even though it makes no sense whatsoever.

* People…to a liberal that’s the great, unwashed, public transportation using, smelly masses that liberals wouldn’t be caught dead befriending. “People” are those “things” that mow your grass and blow off your driveway.
