|Elflocko| Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I really am happy for the folks that are keeping their jobs and for those that are going to obtain employment. However, after what they've done to my father, GM can suck my balls. If we end up buying another car in this country it'll be a Honda or Subaru...

Enon Bengal Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I'd never buy a rice burner but I'll never buy another GM product either. I'll probably look a Ford next new car purchase... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You take from one pot to fill another. All this is going to do is convince the public that it's cool to bailout private companies, which is bullshit.
