    Lurker, why don't you go and research and explain to us why the financial crisis (Great Recession) of 2008 create by Bush 43 (held office from 2001-2009) policies. How the financial instability created the worst U.S auto sales climate. Explain because of Bush's financial disaster that GM was losing $85 million a day.

      BBQ your tundra wouldn't pull my toy hauler very far. It my pull your surf boards where you need to go but it won't pull my camper. I have pretty good luck with American Auto makers vehicles. In the last 40 years the only problem I had was a transmission go out. The vehicle (2007 Saturn outlook) was out of warranty, but GM paid for the repairs. I had that vehicle for 12 years. I prefer an American Auto maker who supports American workers, who pay them well so they can support other local businesses. If you prefer to support a non-American Auto makers who's profit leaves America and goes back to their country so be it. Remember the Japanese can own a car only if they can approve, they own a parking spot to park the car. So, there is no reason for Japan to produce vehicles. The only reason they build vehicles here is to take from the American economy and take the profits back to support Japan. I guess I'm just more of a U.S. patriot than you are. Have a good day at work.

        My son sold his Chevy Impala with 259,000 miles on it and I still see it on the road today. If you take care of a vehicle it will last you. It's ridiculous to say a vehicle built by union members will not last. If the buyer doesn't take care of the vehicle hell no it won't last. I mean have you tried to buy a used vehicle today. Look at some of the miles of these cars or trucks.

            Look at any accounting of the most reliable cars and trucks it’s very unlikely you will find many of the big three anywhere…....if it’s crap coming from the factory then no amount of maintenance will fix that sir.

            Car prices coming out of union shops are 20% higher cost to the end user than they should be because of union extortion at the highest levels…..please prove me wrong.

                  Patriots don’t take advantage of other Americans just so they can be selfish and line their own pockets with extortion monies….so there’s that.

                    BBQ sounds like a whole lot of jealousy on your part. Always complaining what other people have and you don't! Nobody has given me anything. What I have I earned the hard way. I went to work every day, worked holidays, worked overtime, part time jobs to pay for race cars, and worked double shifts so I could have the things I have. You will never take that away from me. I really don't care if you like unions are not. I do get a kick out of you complaining about unions.

                      BBQ no we don't. The Impalas we've had my wife and son cars had the 3.8 motor in it and it's one of the best motors GM has built so, no problems with the motor but, did have the cluster go out in the wife's 05 Impala. I took the cluster out of the dash sent it off to be repaired and then re-installed. We just sold that car about a 2 months ago with 133,000 miles on it and bought the 2015 Buick Lacrosse. I did have to replace a water pump in my 05 Silverado and then the usual Brakes, exhaust, plugs wires.

                            Kid, is funny how they talk about their Japanese cars and when you explain to them the profits are going back to Japan to help their economy. I wonder how many of these gentleman's relatives were at Pearl harbor when Japan bombed Hawaii?

                              They've already forgot about that or don't care anymore.

                              This is the same people that want to raise the voting age to 21 from 18 because young people are voting and not as many for Republicans but, it's ok to go fight wars and allow an 18 year old to have a AR-15 and let a 10 year old be a mom. Now I don't care if an 18 year has an AR-15 but, they should be able to vote and right now they can so, lets leave it right there. and no 10 year old should be a mom.

                                What about people like you who have never been educated enough to vote responsibly? Not that massive cheating isn't already more than irresponsible.
