I'd like to say thanks for telling it like it is ( even if the truth hurts ) < handshake >

No no Sandy, you got it all wrong. It's George Bush's fault (just ask the gaff master).

I'm afraid Sandy may be on target.

If the Gummint runs Generous Motors as well as they do everything else they do, we may as well call Dandy Don & have him sing, "Turn Out the Lights, The Party's Over...."

I think we're all losers for the last three rounds, at least. Hard to back a winner when there's not one on the ticket.

Our two Impalas came from the Oshawa plant, eight years and only battery replacement and front brake pads at 45K.

Well I guess we know your feelings on American made vehicles.

My wife taught in Japan for several years, let me just say if I was to bring home a toy OTA or even a full grown one she would set fire to it in the driveway.

The other good thing about the Impalas is they were union made. You should Google UAW History, rather enlightening about what they accomplished for working stiffs everywhere. Compared to what the Republicans and southern Democrats did to workers with Taft-Hartley. Of course those democrats are now republicans since LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act.
