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!

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

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. :(
