GM Memories

Only once, as I recall, have I ever been to a GM dealer for anything.

It was 1957, I needed a shift fork for the '40 Chevrolet.

Seventy cents and seventy minutes later the fork was in place and she was on the Chatham, New York roads.

Now I read that 40 - 50 years later, the GM customer is treated like dirt.

Exactly what went wrong ?

Greed run amuck ?

Poor education ?

Is simply getting along with others not taught ?

What makes me sad is the lack of intellect from so many here, including GM management.

From them ,I'd expect more.

To the "Jap hater"...this is so easy, I might be the same way when young, but the education never stops.

We must face the truth , the Japanese simply "do it better". If not, I would not own a Honda.

When and if GM decides to "do it better", I'll then buy from them..

Our government should have played a far larger, and far more positive role in this mess..

Maybe they tried and GM and the unions never listened..
