After the auto unions supported bammy, would you ever consider buying a car from the Big Three again?

Right now I'm working on three hours of sleep so I may not be thinking clearly, but I'm curious as to what fellow Freepers are thinking when it comes to buying a new ride from one of the Big Three AKA the UAW.

No.

But mainly because they make crappy cars.

Only Ford and then only something not made by union labor in the US unless I had no choice.

I have no f**ks to give any union worker who draws a pension after the way they have demonized my 401k retirement investment savings as “filthy” wealth.

And that goes double for government workers including politicians who draw their money from taxpayers.

This assumes I’ll ever get enough savings to buy a car. However, I’ll NEVER buy an “American” car. The quality isn’t there, and I won’t support crony capitalism.

I say this with a heavy heart because my dad was GM’s #1 fan for most of his life. Even he recently got a Toyota.

No. I’m boycotting anything Obumer. We will not buy anything but necessities during his ‘rule’.

I will never buy a car from The Big Three. I have a Toyota and it rules.

I’ll say yes, but most critical buy a car made in America.

From whomever.

Do not support imports.

Ford only. By way of explanation, I’m a union man and have voted Republican in every election since 1980. I can’t imagine myself ever voting Democratic. I’ve driven Fords for the last twenty years with nary a complaint. I drove a 1993 Explorer for ten years. I now drive a 2003 Ford Escape and plan to keep it going until 2018.

My husband is one of the 20,000 Delphi salaried retirees who had their pension taken away by 0bama. We just bought a Ford, after owning GM products for 40 years. We will never give another dime to GM. I request you to do the same.

taking a more firm dislike for all that pertains to state requirements of ownership, insurance, licensing, and now tracking what is done in an automobile. like so many things in life, the car is a great tool and source of enjoyment at times, but by no means essential. i'd sooner use my thumb as a dipstick in michael moore's behind than purchase a union made car.

If I do, it will be a Ford. Chrysler is now a foreign nameplate, and I never want to see the inside of another GM dealership.
