I see that as a self fufilling prophecy. If people don't buy from GM due to warranty fear, the company will go under and it will become a justified fear. However, if nobody worried about it they wouldn't lose sales and things will be alright. Waay over simplified of course, but you get my point.

paper maché . . . lol . . . then again I suppose if they mixed it with enough epoxy it might hold up long enough for a couple of cycles. Sounds like an interesting project for someone.

wow... I was going to respond to a lot of the posts... but I lost so much iq just reading thru this thread that I cant remember what I was going to say.



I will say this. Buy the SS. you wont be disappointed. save for the money you'll spend on new tires from roasting them too much.
