Another step towards complete government control.
Well it’s official. I’m never buying a GM product again. General Motors Files for Bankruptcy Protection.
The plan is for the federal government to take a 60 percent ownership stake in the new GM. The Canadian government would take 12.5 percent, with the United Auto Workers getting a 17.5 percent share and unsecured bondholders receiving 10 percent. Existing GM shareholders are expected to be wiped out.
Chrysler did this back in April, and when they did I was annoyed that the government feels the need to own and operate businesses. I vowed at that time to never own a Chrysler product again, but that wasn’t a big deal because I vowed that when I was in college and I’ve never seriously looked at buying anything ever made by Chrysler.
I’ve owned Fords and GM products, and other than Ford cars, I’ve been happy with them. I’ll never own another Ford car after the catastrophes that were the two previous ones I owned. Now I know some of my readers will throw magazine reviews and statistics compiled by “independent” sources, but honestly my experiences with the Ford car division and others that I know that own them pretty trump what ever I read in a magazine from a person I don’t know. Ford trucks I’ll swear by, they’re a good sturdy truck.
With GM now out of the running, when it comes time to get replace either my truck or Ktreva’s van, I know it won’t be with a vehicle made by GM or Chrysler. I’m not buying a vehicle from a government owned company. Oh, and now that they are partially owned by the Canadian Government as well, I’m definitely not buying from a foreign government.
Fortunately it will be years before I have to buy a new vehicle.
No more Government Motors for me, either. And our family has been GM for years...

I may be out of it but what is the Canadian government doing helping with a US company? I see no good that will come of this!
I'm 100 percent with you-I have owned many GM vehicles but never another new one with this crap going on. Chrysler also.

I can say this: I have rented many a Mercury Mistake and Ford Taurus (The new one, not the old one) and I can say I likke both those cars very much. As to their long term quality I cannot comment. The new Taurus (the old 500) is a CHECKER CAB on the inside. I can easily ride comfortably in the back seat for long distances. More back seat room than the Explorer, by far.
Posted by: og at June 3, 2009 01:10 PMI do not know whether the speed is also a problem, there is always some problems, but this game is really good, I like it very much, pictures are so beautiful, I have a website. I will do a good job in the network as soon as poss Very grateful to the producers, has brought us such a good picture.Why I went to a map which, when there will be a shadow in the flash? Many aspects of the game I think the United States than in Japan too strong, and true, vivid, clear, great.ible, then enjoy the game happy. I want to say is, your viewpoint is not wrong, but many people do not like the idea we can not make generalizations, the need to prove that it is completely correct, it is not easy, so I only wrote his own opinion; on alibaba like sony and you can compete? Who said it was not clear, of course, it is entirely different industries, but how can you did a few years whether they need to compete with a market? Or too short a lot of things that, like a happy life, and I wish you good luck, I wish everyone good luck. 杭州店面装修男人fd弱的杭州办公室装修杭州江干区空调维修男人f的杭州室内装修中drd联在缝纫机维修男人最脆弱的T恤衫腻子粉银行pos机pos机代办反向链接杭州搬家公司杭州复印机出租杭州搬家杭州搬家seo杭州植物租赁杭州花卉租赁银行POS机杭州花卉出租杭州花卉公司seo文化衫
