1. Historically, they have sucked much less ass than Chrysler
but that changed once Chrysler got bought out by Daimler Benz.

3. We have a 2004 Buick Rendezvous.
It offers a little bit of everything: AWD on a car chassis (decent gas mileage), luxurious interior, smooth ride. It also has sensors on the back bumper that let you know if you're about to back into something! It's great. I also love the Onstar.

We also have a 2002 Monte Carlo SS. It's black with red and silver pinstripes. That car will run, and it's very good on gas mileage.

I have had no problems with either of these cars. We've always been a GM family!

5. GM is responsible for my livlihood
as they are for a lot of other people. I just wish that some of their cars were more fuel efficient.

6. The Corvette is an American classic. I still don't believe they make it.

Fire bird and 'vettes rule too. 442 and Camaro's too.

9. Ah, the Cutlass 442.
The favorite car of my younger years. When I see one at car shows I get "verklempt." My gawd, that was a super car. :)

10. They built the Hubble telescope kind of sort of. (Hughes)
I got to drive a brand new Rolls Corniche Convertible once and it had a Hydramatic and a Delco.

14. Decent severance package
Well, they gave me 3 months salary and 3 months medical when they laid me off which is pretty decent.

I have a new job, but I'll probably never be a GM fan. :(
