LOL LOVE IT!!!

 

Sadly GM is not the only company doing this. The big three in general have been doing this for YEARS and it finally caught up with them. I sure hope that they turn things around and start putting cars on the road that can easily compete and beat the imports in quality, looks, power, and efficency.

 

the ZR-1, SS/TC, and G8 GXP have all proven GM can beat the competition in power, they've been slowing catching up with the MPG race, quality........i won't comment, looks, i personally like my cobalt ss/tc and how it looks and the G8 GXP looks sexy too. I'd say GM isn't as far behind as most would be made to believe.

 

Then how is it that the Honda's, Toyota's, and other import companies are consistently able to put out quality vehicles that are a lot more reliable then the big three's? And they are not bleeding money like the big three are.

It really makes you have to think about what is going on here and why it is happening.

Also, the ZR-1 is a $100,000+ vehicle so not everyone can step up and buy one. The G8 GXP is going to be over the $50,000CDN range.....which honestly if I am spending that kind of money, I will buy a Cadillac CTS or even look at a Lexus, or BMW.

GM has to go back to making quality car for a good price, and bring the reliability WAY up, along with the fit and finish of the car.

They have been getting close on some cars, but they are still a long way off IMO.

 

i'm in agreement with all of your statements above, but I'd say GM is ahead of the game still in comparison to Ford/Chysler

 

Yes...agreed. But with my car I get a lot of "it still looks like a rental Cobalt" even though I have the SS S/C bodykit with the highrise wing. That should put a red flag up for GM. Even the major car magazines say that about the new SS T/C that it is a great handling car and very powerful and fast, but it still looks bland.

I really enjoy my car and how it surprises people with its power, but I would want it to be a head turner. Now that I have added a sweet set of rims, lowered it, and some other mods it does that. But if I would have left it stock, I would blend in with the rest of the rentals.

 

yea, GM does have quite the amount of work ahead of them........

Everyone stocked up for the frigid weekend of snow and -30 weather?

 

It's been that cold here in Fort Mac for the last week.....so I am ready for it.

 

tomorrow sometime it's gunna start dumpin snow and i think saturday into next week is -30C with a max temp of -20C, that's gunna suck

 

been outside all week.. lol. im doin great!@

 

ok need some help from you joes who work at dealerships..or anyone with experience

well i got into a fender bender tonight. i slid on ice for litterally like 8 seconds going like 1km/h it was retarded. anyways i hit this guy. just dented his bumper a bit and pushed it in about an inch or so. i am anxious to know how much this is gonna cost me to fix him. and i dont wanna wait until when he calls with a quote, so can anyone tell me roughly how much it will cost.

hes got a 04 gmc sierra. his bumper was crome, so it wasnt plastic..just dented the right rear side of it and the bumper is pushed in about an inch, just barely touching his rear fender.

and in case anyone is wondering EVERYONE IS OK.

thanks.

 

wouldnt be much if it wasnt chrome... the chrome is what will drive the price up

 

man somedays i wish i wasn't a night owl

 

got my MRZ lightweight crank pulley today! will install tomorrow maybe

 

dropped price on my car... $30k

 

...it is chrome i said. hopefully it aint much though.

 

everybody all set for the -30 weekend of snow and chaos?

 

Just gives me more of a reason to work in the garage and get the summer projects up and going.

I'm more afraid of what the other drivers on the road are going to be doing instead of the weather, the weather I can live with but ******* drivers I can definatley do without.

 

i hear ya man, this moron on my way to work this afternoon was speeding up when ppl changed into his lane, even tho there was like 3+ car lengths, guy in front of me pulls into that lane and the guy speeds up like he was going to hit the guy for "taking" his lane, then he did it again when i changed into the lane...........WTF DO YOU NOT KNOW THE ROADS ARE ICY!??!?!?!? I nearly yelled that at him........i swear i'm gunna start writting up un-official traffic violations to ppl who do stupid **** like that "Dear Sir or Madam, you are fuking retarded, you have NO CLUE how to drive in the winter road conditions, GET SOME HELP!!! Take a winter driving course, don't drive, take transit, ANYTHING but seeing you driving on the winter roads again until you learn HOW!!!."

I want to soooooooo baddddllyy!!!!! Get a group of ppl who understand driving and could help hand these violations and send a message to the city and the Alberta Government that the ppl are SICK TO DEATH of retarded ppl driving in winter causing 200+ accidents.......i don't even want to know how many $100,000's they waste each winter for accident clean up.

 

anyways, so who's excited for -30 over the weekend? i guess were finally getting a taste of wat the ppl out East have been gettin the past month
