Quoted: Unfortunately, they've gained the position to make you pay. Yup. Their companies were failing because people wouldn't buy their shitty cars and they took your money anyway. The bailouts were a bribe to the unions; last night was the unions returning the favor. |

We just replaced our escalade with a Audi Q7 so they can go fuck themselves. No more affirmative action vehicles for us. I hope they starve.

My car has 4 silver rings, no bow tie, no blue oval, no ram.
What shocks me is look what O has done to the United Mine Workers. If he will screw them, he will screw the UAW too. People are STUPID |

My wife will be purchasing a Toyota Highlander this month. We will keep her Altima and I'll drive it from time to time until I retire my current daily driver. It costs little to tag, insure and operate. We bought it used in '98 and the two chirren drove it in high school and college. Then we reclaimed it. We've maintained it and it should be good for years to come. I may buy an impractical pickup down the road (Toyota) and the Altima will be economical to drive around town on errands.

The union types were a huge part of what happened last night. Seriously, other than heavy duty pickups, there is nothing that cannot be bought elsewhere. We need to hit those pampered, overpaid bastards where it hurts! it honestly won't matter, you think the auto industry was bad back in 2007-2009, wait until reality hits and nobody in this country will be buying new cars as they won't want to spend the money, given the fact the government will be taking more from us. Those union morons killed themselves and they're too fucking stupid to realize it. I think many in the "industry" knew this, including Ford, which as we saw over the past four years, have been spreading their wings so to speak, oversees, knowing full well, they'll be more successful outside of this country than they will inside. |

I have made the decision to never ever ever ever buy another GM , Ford or Dodge product ever again, especially GM.......did I mention never ever.
....AND....I'll extend that to after-market products too....AC Delco, Mopar, etc genuine parts will not see a dime of my money either. But, "let me be clear"....I hope GM does very well with its proposed moving of its manufacturing to China.....Toledo can rot like Detroit for all I care |

My entire family outlawed UAW cars from our garages years ago, but were starting to consider a big SUV (Tahoe, Escalade). Parents started the test drive process. Now, no more. Time to look at the Toyota Sequoia/Lexus LX.
I love my 4Runner and will NEVER consider a UAW vehicle. |

Almost my words exactly; they don't give a flying fuck at a rolling donut about how I vote. So, I withhold my money. If they aren't on the same team as me, they don't get my money; particularly sports (pro or collegiate since college sports is just minor league pro), concerts, movies and now Detroit auto companies. Beyond that, they can have a nice day. |
