I am more bummed than anyone. I guess when you become a communist company quality is no longer an issue since the govt will just bail you out.

I own a fleet of 18 gm vans cars and pickups used in a service business. We run then 225-250k miles before sending them to auction. In the last ten years we have not gone inside an engine, we have bought a couple of transmissions and engine accessories. I credit a strict maintenance schedule for this in part, mostly I think they build a durable product.

I have owned other brands in the 28 years I have had my business, it did not take me long to figure out which one works the best for me.

Saw my first C7 today, about what I'd expect with the designer of the Aztec involved in it.

Thats funny, I really think this is the best sportscar they have ever built. I'd buy one if I thought I'd ever use it

The return of bajabob38

I guess his divorce from CATMANDO is final so now he has time to pick on dignified and diplomatic old people(ME).I do feel soorry for him though as his wife will not even let him by a canoe and she took the dice off his YUGO mirror.

I bought exactly one Corvette. A 2011 Z51 that GM had to buy back as a lemon. Car would die and not restart while driving down the road only to restart after sitting for an ever increasing length of time. Darn thing almost killed me. Dealer and GM could not resolve it despite 5 trips to the dealer. Sticking with Vipers now.
