Who is going to buy the damned cars?

I am perfectly happy with my 20 year old BMWs.

If the "Big 3" can find money for their homosexual benefits and pervert social advocacy, why should I have to subsidize them?

The planned obsolescence on the parts for older cars and the unnecessary technical gadgets making service outrageously expensive on newer models is something they incorporated into the design of their product line.

The throw away product line as a business model is coming back to haunt them.

And making things more complicated so the average buyer cannot service the vehicle themselves doesn't help that. Give me another '69 Chevy pick-up I can rebuild in one day or keep your plastic junk...

heh, heh... Mine's a '78 Chevy, almost fully restored. Wouldn't trade it for one of those new POSs even if you gave it to me. Been there, done that, didn't like the wrecker charges.
