Cool, I will keep mine on.

TripleB · 08-25-2009, 09:10 PM

i like them, just not the placement of them that much...i'll probably leave mine on though. i'm too damn lazy to take them off (and it's not that hard)..lol. or maybe i'm not lazy, just won't really think about it.

random thought.

The now defunct General Motors Corporation: 1908-2009

General Motors Company: 2009-?

Mine are on my dresser...not sure I want to get rid of them completely, but what would you do with an extra set??

Personally, I think this is sad. That emblem has adorned SO much of, well, AMERICA. Sure, it is a latecomer to the exterior of vehicles, but it has been seen in so many other places. Yes, I am thinking of companies like Electro-Motive Division, Terex...even Frigidaire. Whether it was an aesthetic asset to the exterior of a motor vehicle is a matter of personal taste (I am thrilled to have gotten my SS in time), but it makes me depressed to see it shuffled off, treated like a liability. Alfred Sloan surely needs a new suit by now--his is in shreds from spinning!

Which goes back to the fact that theoretically, and legally, the company Alfred Sloan ceased existance the night all the GM lawyers and ch. 11 judge signed that desk full of papers puting General Motors Corporation into liquidation.

Dang. I like them just not on the car. i was planning on taking them off and framing them in a custom frame along with the window sticker and paper work.

mikel441 · 08-25-2009, 09:23 PM

I kind of like them but, they didn't seem right for the Camaro though. Take em or leave em.

levi1922 · 08-25-2009, 09:25 PM

so will GM claim to be over 100 anyway? if they do start all the way over with the years it will be verryyy sad :(

and when are they stopping them? mine went to 2000 8/1/09

I'm sure they can claim to be over 100 if they want, but legally they are all of about 2 months old.

They have a catch-22 right now..... they want people to forget they went bankrupt, so they are trying to build a new image. If they build a new image, they could alienate the die-hards.

They could say they are over 100 years old, but then people will say they're the same company that hemorraged billions and fell from the grace of their power in the 1950s to the laughing stock of the automotive world.

They could say they are a new company, and then people will say they've thrown their herritage out the window.

What are they to do?

Paperer · 08-25-2009, 09:54 PM

I liked them. It was like a little stamp. Mine are staying on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever.

faninc · 08-25-2009, 09:57 PM

Hated them, took them off last week but kept them to sell on ebay at $1,000 each in 20 years? LOL...
