Default Re: GM Facts and Fiction

Our rural mail carriers went through an "Asian" phase for a while...if it didn't say Toyota or Nissan on it, then they wouldn't own it. But, they all learned after having to do the same maintenance and fix the same trouble spots on the foreign trucks that *just maybe* it was the 6-days a week, 100+ miles per/day, backwoods, gravel road, start/stop mail routes that was the problem and not the "crap domestic vehicles" as they'd originally thought! I think they're all driving S10s/Rangers, and a few of them drive '80s model Caprice/Impalas/LTDs...

BTW: isn't it *funny* that Congress cut a check to the banking industry for $750 BILLION without even so much as a whimper, and yet they're beating up the reps from the Big3 on Capitol Hill, talking about stipulations/strings attached/restructuring/etc, all over $25 billion?
