Petition GM for all GM car info ???

[Mr70]

Everyone here is bringing up valid points,but when I talked to Jim M. earlier this year,his biggest concern/frustration was to try & enforce GM facilities throughout to STOP throwing out the records they have left into the garbage.
It doesn't matter what they ultimately decide to do with them in the future,if all the remaining records are COMPLETELY gone by then.
Every day,somebody,somewhere in a GM Building is throwing out a Box filled with old paperwork.And No one over there really knows what's in them,or even Cares.

Most "Excellent" Point Rick.

This is true. I have a friend who is a consultant at the GM Tech Center, and while he is not involved with cars as a hobby, he told me that he has seen dumpsters full of old records being pitched. He also told me that some of it wasn't that old, like from last year.
Since he is a consultant, and doesn't work for GM, his job is to figure out how much it costs GM to build a car. Seems that they don't have a clue. GMAC makes more money than the cars they manufacture. The pension benefits cost more than the profit made from cars an trucks, and since Honda and Toyota don't have the UAW to deal with, (no offense to any union guys), but that saves them tons of cash.
Bottom line is that GM has bigger things to worry about.
