#1 Gee, guys, why don't you want the stock?

"Well, you see, they build crappy cars that nobody wants, and their labor costs are off the scale because their unions are sucking them dry."

But, aren't you their unions?

"Well, yeah, but, um, er..."

#2 May I see a show of hands of all of you that would now buy a GM or Chrysler car (past loyalty notwithstanding) now that ownership and management has passed to a union that has helped contribute to the bankruptcy of both entities. I see one, two, - what only two and both are trolls.

#3 Hmm... used to buy GM - Bought a 06 Envoy then an 07 Pontiac Vibe for my Wife (who was just learning to drive at the time). Earlier owned a number of Pontiacs and Chevys.

Won't buy a GM, Ford, or Chrysler ever again.

#6 why buy this crap when you can buy a Honda or something similiar at about the same price and it won't catch fire going down the road( have a friend who this actually happened too with a Neon). Also had a Volvo S80 that could prob give the Camaro a run for it's money and was built like a tank
