Hey, what do you know, my blood pressure just shot up again...

I think the people on this site WANT to give me a heart attack...

One post in particular in Scott's latest thread...

Again, not GM's fault, GM cannot control what dealers charge...

Now, picture yourself being told your written agreement for the car YOU ordered is worthless and the car is yours only if you now pony up $8 grand extra. The tears I felt were not of joy. Yes, my car did arrive, even sooner then I thought since it was CGM. I left a bitter person towards your company after convincing myself to give GM another shot. So, while I have said it before and will say again, I have great respect for your character and your patriotism. I no longer, however, share the enthusiasm of being a first time Camaro owner.

Speaking of people wanting to see GM go down...


I had a regular customer come in yesterday.....I happen to know that he works at Advance Auto pretty close to my dealer that just closed down last week.. I asked him if they still had the vehicles on the lot or not.. I just can't drive by there myself.. He said that he had seen some trailers going out with cars loaded on them. and then proceeds to tell me that he really hopes Gm and ford go down and all you see on the road is toyotas and hondas...... I couldn't believe what I was hearing... And I couldn't really say anything in return for fear of losing a regular customer.. But I did ask and it ended up that it came down to a bad experience with a dealer. I asked him how he could hold it against GM for something a stupid dealer done and he just responded well they are taking our tax money and blah blah blah.. I then asked him if he went to walmart and a cashier was rude to him or something would he never go in another walmart and wish they would go down..... he said no that would just be an employee and wouldn't have anything to do with the company.. I said its the same diference with the dealers and GM

Siigh.

There's a lot of misinformed people out there...little does your customer know that toyota and honda get money from state governments all the time to build facilities in their states...

Every little bit helps. Every person re-educated. And there are a LOT of people that need to be re-educated...

But like I always say...to those who have been loyal and supportive for all these years...thank you.

I just thought about something... this rain reminded me...

My SS trailblazers passenger side window regulator broke.. I had took it to my dealership and they replaced it but I didnt notice til like the next day (well it was actually my wife complaining she could hear the wind) that the window wasn't aligned correctly and was making alot of noise at speed. Like if you had the window cracked just a bit. I kept putting it off taking it back for them to fix it but would another dealer take care of it?

Well look at that, yet another horribly disrespectful post in Scott's thread...

You know what?
Some of the people on this site act like freaking three year olds.
I've about had it with this site...
