I'll keep driving my quadrasteer GMC truck until it dies out of bitterness for our elected officials who gave away so many millions of dollars to the thieves on Wall Street with no strings attached and at the cost of so many American jobs by not helping out our auto manufacturers.

I refuse to buy a foreign car, and have been in the SRT8 and feel its grossly over rated unless you're going to nail it from a 40 roll. Zilch for bottom end performance, and the Mustang is obviously not a high performance car unless you get into a GT500. And for that price I'd take a Corvette any day even if it is harder to crawl in and out of.

Watch the prices of the foreign perfomance cars soar if GM bites the dust. When they have no competition from the US manufacturers they will be bending the US consumers over big time by jacking up the price and raking in the profits.

You won't see any Californian green SOB's complaining about how bad their $100K foreign cars pollute the environment though will you? But they will rag on how a Corvette is such an over indulgence.

I'd love to see the list of which legislator's drive what brand of car. I'd bet that would be quite interesting, and possibly establish a pattern as to who sold out America. A depression is not a pretty sight but nobody seems to care or feel that they are a part of the problem when they buy a Toyota.
