An email from GM I recievd this morning

[Chubminnow]

Dear Chubminnow,

As you may know, GM is using an expedited, court-supervised process to accelerate the reinvention of our company. At the core of that reinvention is a commitment that we will put the customer first in all that we do — starting with great cars, trucks and crossovers, and the best sales and service experience possible. We want to earn your trust in several ways, including:

GM Dealers — They are very much open for business and ready to meet your sales and service needs. And even though we are seeking buyers for our Saturn and Saab brands, have just announced the selection of a buyer for the HUMMER brand, and have decided to eventually phase out Pontiac, those dealerships also remain open and ready for service. The bottom line is service for GM vehicles will always be available through authorized GM retail and service facilities by GM-trained Goodwrench experts, with Genuine GM Parts on hand.

GM Vehicles — At this, the most important moment in the history of our company, our dedication to high-quality, fuel-efficient and outstanding-value vehicles has never been greater. Purchase a new GM product, and we stand behind it with a U.S. government-backed,1 comprehensive 100,000-Mile/5-Year Powertrain Limited Warranty.2 Combined with Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation Programs, it is the Best Coverage in America. As I said before, our GM dealerships are very much open for business, and banks and credit unions are lending and continue to offer some of the best rates available to qualified buyers. To find information about GM dealerships in your area, please visit GM.com/vehicles/dealer.

General Motors — For over 100 years, GM has fueled America's passion for the automobile. Propelled by the spirit and commitment of our people, we will become the New GM, a company that makes Americans proud, and one that can compete successfully with anyone in the world. All of us at GM are confident that we will emerge a leaner, stronger company for you, offering the most compelling vehicles possible from our Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands.

Thank you for your interest in our GM vehicles. As we move forward, I invite you to stay up to date on our promising new future by visiting GMreinvention.com.

Sincerely,

Troy A. Clarke
Group Vice President
President, GM North America

At least sounds somewhat promising.....

I guess we are supposed to get a warm fuzzy feeling when they state U.S. government backed warranty? Puh-lease! Translation....we will fix it if we decide to because who you going to complain to? Better business bureau?

My GM days are over as long as the gubment has any say or backing of this or any company. I'm sure we will have the Obama Edition Escalade coming soon...all glitz and glamor, sounds great but ain't worth the dubs they are riding on.

I can see it now DVD system with complimentary copies of his books on DVD and all his speeches for your viewing pleasure. You get his gift of plates and coins with his face on it just for taking a test ride.

Of course the best part is that the AIRBAGS have his face on them.

LOL! It's good to laugh (tough day) I feel much better....thanks for the fun!

MAN, you guys are killing with this Obama Edition Escalade stuff....and I've been absent....good show, good show.

BUT, my friends, you are wrong.

With the government's new stake in GM, they are going to release the Barack Edition Camaro. Instead of the Camaro SS, it will be the Camaro BO. It will be the baddest looking new Camaro on the block and everyone will want one...they'll peel out of buildings just to see one glide down the street...it will sound like it really knows it's way around the pavement with a deafening grumble coming from under the hood right down to the pipes out the back...

The masses will cheer in unison, "GM is back! GM is back!"

But in reality, it will be a brand new tri-brid prototype engine...it will run on french fry grease, grape kool-aid, and the battery from a Blackberry. Nobody will be real certain of it's true capability as a powerplant and whether or not it can truly push the car down the highway, but they will want it...they will want it bad. GM will advertise that it is the universal car that fixes everything - It will tow a boat, seat 7 passengers, has a dump bed for commercial applications, the exhaust fumes will smell like Tinkerbell farts, it will have the ability to survive a nuclear attack, and contained in the waste oil every 3000 miles will be the cure for cancer. The only color available with be green, with red/white/blue strpe package. It will get 70 mpg. It will be ready for production in 6 months, and will cost 3,000,000 for the base model. BUT, no worries, because there's a tax break for buying one, so everyone will be able to afford it.

And it will be manufacturered in Mexico.

That auditor chick from the US Treasury is the Project Team Leader.

[DJD]

Well now Tinkerbell Farts huh? I'll get one just for that experience! LOL..

You say your GM days are over but I'll tell you what brother...now that G.M. is being referred to as "Government Motors" (which isn't to far from the truth) I'm not sure what manufacturer you're going to turn to. The reason I say this is because my way of thinking goes like this: "Government Motors will make the rules by which all others have to play by." What do you think? Kind of seems to make sense doesn't it? Do you think Ford, Chrysler or any of the others are gonna like the rules? Probably not. More and more as time goes by it sure does seem like the government is doing more and more to get things in it's own favor and in doing so just screws things up...In my own opinion this (Bankruptcy) is just one more step towards communism...I may be way out in left field on all my opinions but this is what's on my mind at 7:30 am, Friday June 5th, 2009.

LOl! Your mind is fine...I believe (as anyone should based upon history) that the gubment will ruin GM or die trying. Ford has a 7 year window to sell the cars they want to sell before the new cafe standards have to be complied with (my understanding) so they should do ok. Never cared for Ford but I like them now. Ford====For Ordinary Redneck Drivers!

I do laugh when I hear "the Chosen one" say he isn't in the car bidness. Uhh yeah right! If they can tax it, control it and profit from it why would they get out? I believe it about as much as I believe he never got on board with the hate spewing from Rev Jermiah Wrights lips!!
