You (GM) title the car, I'll drive it as my demo and give it back when I'm done

I surely hope you would be the only person "demoing" it, because if you let your customers drive one of the IVERs, I don't think they'd be too impressed with the handling of a car with 200,000 rough, hard, and nasty miles on it.

I promise not to hand the keys to ANYONE. I never let anyone drive my cars, except Mrs. CamaroScotty.....and she don't drive stick -

Be a good Parade car....too bad I wouldn't have it by next Saturday....I'm in a Christmas parade as I am every year.

Last year it was the Malibu LTZ...looks like this year it will be a Tahoe Hybrid.

remove the drive train making it a show car. if the buyer decides to put in his own engine and transmission it's their own responsibility. or am i way of base here?

well, i dont know what to say then but, poor cars. id love to get one of the test vehicles and its a shame that all that money and work goes into them and then they just get scrapped. what a waste.

what about auctioning off the parts? or selling the cars as a shell, to places like quaker steak and lube or summit racing or any of those places that use vehicles as display pieces?

andyrew · 11-21-2008, 01:47 PM

Scott.

Why not sell them as offroad use only race cars? No title, no warranty? Just a bill of sale.

Sell them as 1/2 proceeds go to charity? Can you imagine how much these cars would be worth to collectors?

Of COURSE I know what they'd be worth to collectors.

None of this is lost on ANYONE at GM. (we aren't all complete morons -- well, OK --there ARE a few......)

Offroad race car huh? And when something comes apart and it flies into a spectator.........................

.........and go back and read what I said about 'waivers'

I don't make up the law.....I just have to be like everyone else at GM and try to keep us from unnecessary risk.

+1. sadly, none of the pre-pro cars can be had by anyone so can we drop the ideas of trying to circumvent the laws that have been carefully & thoughtfully enacted for everyone's safety. it ain't gonna happen. :(
