Replying to: michaell (Jun 19, 2009 6:26 pm) I did see a black G8 GT at the gas station where I normally fill up. Driven by a 40-something woman who was quite scantily dressed.    (not sure what that says about the owner or the car, or perhaps it's just that the weather has been particularly nice lately)   40-something, that's outrageous!

Replying to: andre1969 (Jun 19, 2009 8:05 am) just spotted one in the local autoshopper. '09 GT with 3100 miles, automatic, moonroof. $21k! Now, for that kind of value, I could stomach the quality. Replies to this message: bvdj84 (Jun 20, 2009 5:34 am) qbrozen (Jun 20, 2009 12:12 pm)

Replying to: qbrozen (Jun 20, 2009 4:04 am) I agree! After my lease is up on my 08 GM car, I will not return to GM! I will not make this mistake again! Love the car! Hate the engine! Replies to this message: qbrozen (Jun 20, 2009 12:12 pm)

Replying to: bvdj84 (Jun 20, 2009 5:34 am) By that time, GM probably won't be around for you to return to anyway.

but it cost as much as (a used) one.   Replies to this message: corvette (Jun 20, 2009 3:55 pm)

Replying to: sandman_6472 (Jun 18, 2009 11:53 am) Pitiful that our great country can't offer reasonable health care for every citizen...more like OBSCENE!   This great country does offer exceptional health care to every one of its citizens. If you are unable to pay for those services, it only hurts your credit rating. That doesn't seem like the end of the world to me.
#14271 of 15423 Health Insurance by sandman_6472 Jun 20, 2009 (3:10 pm)
I'll always have as a federal worker...concerned about the millions of folks that can't afford ANY health insurance or don't qualify. You obviously have insurance. Imagine being someone who doesn't! And bankruptcy is not an option in my household...we live within our means with no mortgage or credit card debt. If we don't have the cash...we do without it!   Unfortunately, GM also doesn't offer anything I'd want to buy at this point. When they do and can match the foreign competition...I'll be 1st in line!   The Sandman Replies to this message: 8sparkplugs (Jun 20, 2009 4:47 pm) woodyww (Jun 21, 2009 12:16 pm) lilengineerboy (Jun 21, 2009 12:19 pm) lemmer (Jun 22, 2009 5:59 am)

Replying to: bumpy (Jun 20, 2009 2:57 pm) My parents have a Deere garden tractor with a Yanmar diesel in it. It's way oversized for the house and lot they have now, but that thing is built like a tank. If memory serves, the only non-wear items in over ten years of ownership have been a fuel filter mount (broke when changing the fuel filter) and the reflectors on the front grille (fell off).   I hire out the mowing at my house--I hate yard work, especially when it's as hot as it's been lately.

Replying to: sandman_6472 (Jun 20, 2009 3:10 pm) There is a difference between having health insurance and health care. Everyone receives health care. I live by those same spending rules in my household. A large number of uninsured people choose to not pay for insurance. Many drive newer cars than I do, and eat out more frequently than I do. I consider things like phones, cable, internet, and eating out as luxury items. I will bet you that most of the people you are worried about, find money for those items.

Replying to: sandman_6472 (Jun 20, 2009 3:10 pm) Surely you know that we "have" to be the only Western Democracy where at least 25% of our citizens can't afford health insurance. We don't want to end up like those awful "socialist" Canadians, Europeans, Brits, Japanese, where people don't have to live in terror of losing their health insurance, going bankrupt because of medical bills, &/or actually dying because they can't get proper treatment. (???)   GM: Personally I'd buy--instead--almost any used or new lexus, honda, toyota in the same price range as a new GM car. Or a 3 y.o. volvo. But then I felt that way 10 & 20 years before GM went bankrupt..... Replies to this message: lilengineerboy (Jun 21, 2009 12:19 pm) lemmer (Jun 22, 2009 5:59 am)
