You are completely right. I don’t care if they make the best car on the market, now. This is Government Motors backed up by the UAW Medical Pension Fund. These people can choke on their automobiles. They can eat them, because I will NEVER even think about buying a GM product in the future.

Buy a GM car, and a portion of the sales will go to the Democrat party.

I don’t do business with thieves. My current vehicle is a pre-bailout GM, but it won’t happen again - unless the thieves restore and make whole the bondholders and taxpayers who were defrauded.

A lot of people feel the same, especially since Obama bailed out GM/UAW and screwed the bondholders.

I don’t believer in boycotts. However, I personally will never buy a GM produced car that was built during the time after the bailout. If GM makes good on every dollar and returns to private ownership I will add cars built after the day that happens. Anything built within that window, however, is off limits.

It’s a personal choice based on core, principle values.

Hubby and I just purchased a Ford 150 Platinum. We knew going in to our vehicle search that a GM product would never even be considered. EVER!

I wonder how many like-minded folks like us are really out there?

They already received too much of my dough via taxpayer bailout. I will never buy a GM product again. I hope their stock price drops out of sight and the UAW goons who benefitted from this corruption end up with worthless pieces of paper.

We’re in the market for a new truck and GM has NEVER been a consideration for us.

How do you like your Ford?

Never again GM. Ever. First the bailout, then the parts dept wanted $100 for a replacement key fob to replace the defective one that came with my pre-bailout chevy. GM can pi$$ up a rope.

I used to buy GM pretty much exclusively (back since the “Mark of Excellence” days that are no more), but I’m done with them. I am their worst nightmare: A once loyal customer permanently (more or less) turned away from them.

I used to be a faithful GM owner. Never again. The bailout was bad enough, but the silly environmentalism with the Chevy Volt is over-the-top corruption when you consider the level of cooperation that it takes with Obama to make it ‘work’, so to speak.

Probably more than you think!! Bailouts are NOT the American way.

BUT - that soon might change if Obama is re-ekected.

This past week, Ford UAW sent out snail mail letters to all employees & retirees saying that not taking the bailout was a BIG mistake & they want everyone to vote for Obama in this election so that they can get their share!!!
