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

Replying to: sandman_6472 (Jun 20, 2009 3:10 pm) 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.....

So I can have a blandatstic Camry or a blandastic Malibu? Whats the difference? If one would rather have a Lexus ES than a Cadillac CTS, eh, that is either an age related issue or some type of prejudice.

This lady must be the antithesis to all of us with CCB syndrome... 45 years and 500,000+ miles with the same car. I don't think anyone sells car batteries with lifetime warranties anymore.

| Sure, the used G8 is a good value at $21K, but then it was a huge depreciation hit for the 1st owner. GM is better off pushing the new Camaro and the Vette as performance halo cars, since they sell closer to MSRP, not at fire sale prices. | |

Replying to: corvette (Jun 21, 2009 1:08 pm) I think I got a free battery out of a lifetime warranty maybe twice. Back when you could buy Shell brand batteries at the Shell station. The one I really remember was on this old 62 Chevy panel truck we had. We had to start it by popping the clutch and went from place to another to another in the snow getting the run around. Th guy that finally replaced it had stories about all the Shell regional folks and why we kept getting turned down and loads of stuff in language that I can't repeat here. His stories were worth all the running around.
