Right, BofA just turned in a $2B profit this year...
I am tired of living in a country that is run as if it was a business....

A blank check can make some great cars.

Airlines and car companies file for bankruptcy because most of their business models are capital intensive nightmares. They look great until they have to maintain planes or retool everything for the 8th time, then the debt catches up with them. GM will be bankrupt again within the next 20 years, just my prediction.

I would say 20 years is on par with the last 3. Seems spaced out about right.

Whats even more amazing (to me) is the average age of a vehicle on the road in the US is now 11 years. That is a new record. It will be broken again and again if new car prices continue on this upward path.

Since the car manufacturers started making quality vehicles again, it makes sense to hold onto a solid vehicle. Our Expy is 11 years old, and our Taco is 10. Both are solid vehicles at the moment and it makes no since to go buy a vehicle that isn't necessary right now.

Plus the price tag on new vehicles are just crazy. I'm buying used from now on and letting someone else take the hit.

Yup, even some ballas on here have expressed that same feeling.

I have contemplated buying a new Tc for a daily since I commute 45 miles round trip and the gas would be good. The price is fair for a new Tc, but I haven't pulled the trigger.

Yup....

People fail to realize this

since/sense = two different words.

thank you, kind sir, for your concern about my grammatical well-being. I am so very pleased to see someone is looking after me.

anytime.

I have only owned one GM vehicle. It was a lifetime supply. My ass still burns from that screwing.

It was not a vette, nor LS powered, but should have been ground up to make lemonade.

Fuck GM, with a redwood.

[Forever_frost]

Considering we only have 2 American car companies, it's rather annoying. Chrysler lost my business when I bought the lifetime bumper to bumper and found out a year later it didn't cover exhaust system falling off of it. GM? Gm still owes us billions. I'm not handing them a dime until they are privately owned again.

When was gm private?

When was gm private?

They have always been a corporation, but I think he means when they are not owned by the government.

What will be $70?

If I were buying a new truck it would probably be a GM, if purchased today. If I were buying a gas burner it is the only truck I'd buy. I have a friend who just picked up a 2011 1500 and I really like it. I also like the fact the engine bay makes a foxbody look hard to work on.

When I'm ready for a new truck, who knows, but I still really like my F250 for now.

The $70 was a joke.

As for the products of these companies, those are a seperate issue. I like GM trucks just fine. I really like the Corvette. I wouldn't buy stock in any car company though.
