i really don't have a point of view on the gm subject, but i will say that as long as you yuppy pups keep paying high dollar for your saabs only to toss them out at 100k for little or next to nothing i'll keep driving them. i'm on number 7 and have spent less than $10,000 dollars on all of them including major repairs. during this i have put over 600k miles on those 7 cars (6-900's and 1-9000) i don't know of many, if any, american or jap. made cars that i can pick up for a song and get that kind of service out of. so piss around with your gm banter till the pigs fly but keep buying those saabs for me please.
