Yeah, probably not Fen. Maybe someday though. I'd be happy to get my money back on the 100 shares I bought.

All that stock is worthless. When GM issued the NEW shares, the old stock went buhhhhh bye.

As a sad note, though, I heard a 3rd hand tale of a guy that was trying to figure out how to tell his wife he had taken his 401k and gon ALL IN at $7.50 a share KNOWING it couldn't POSSIBLY go lower. He was sadly.............wrong. Hung all the way down to the $2 range which is about where it was when it went kaput. I think the "old GM" stock hovered around 80 cents a share for a bit during the bankruptcy. But none of those share have anything to do with the current shares.

I could not afford to support GM on all the special builds they do. They understand that. That is why I was so surprised and pleased they gave Pedders credit in press releases, on the wheel stands and in brochures.

Thanks for the info Number 3! I never got into trading stocks personally, but did have a deferred comp retirement account. No too long after I retired and just prior to the market/housing/bank/corporation bubble going critical mass I emptied it without any loss for early withdrawl. Not that I had alot, and it was more out of necessity to make ends meet for the kids and education, but I was lucky and didn't take a haircut on the mutual fund accounts like everyone else did. Man, those were dark times indeed. It's so nice to GM thriving again. My father in law is a retiree from GM and is elderly. GM is more than a family company to us.

Oh, I realize that. I simply can't help it when I'm typing, lol. Besides, I also have an Art degree; so, I can't help but analyze the remarkable and terrible use of color and shape when I see it!

Gotcha!

Part of that is simply meeting your contractual obligations with your represented employees.

Well unless it's a subsonic round, you won't hear the one that gets ya..........of course to be effective a silencer needs a subsonic round sooooooooooooooooo you wouldn't hear that one either. I guess in both cases you get an extra hole in your head.

I think it's just the lulz before the ztorm when everyone starts getting their new ZL1s.

So guys, a Zerious question...

It's late February now. When do you expect an announcement of what's in store for the '13 model year, especially in regards to ZL1?


PS The packing went well, the cleanup is almost complete, and I should be in Colorado before week's end.
