thats nice, Im glad you drive 40 miles a month. Some of us have jobs, families and responsibilities. I could go buy some Jap crap but being from the Detroit area Ill gladly drive an American made product. (it was acatually made in Canada!) I moved my family closer to work to offset the cost of gas. My drive went from 1 hour to 5 mins.[/quote:ed84b]

what does Jap crap have anything to do with it. Japans cars are popular because they are dependable, affordable (would be even more if tarrifs were lifted), and get great gas mileage. Maybe if GM and other American cars would learn to compete with Japan instead of relying on tarrifs and 'patriotic' customers there would be less 'Jap crap.'[/quote:ed84b]

there is some truth in what you say but Ill go for the option to keep my neighbors working[/quote:ed84b]
Your neighbors can go work at Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi too, you know. Job insecurity is partly caused by a soft market. If GM wont compete by investing in better vehicles (not saying that 500 varieties of mini vans arent an investment), then its their own fault they have to lay off thousands of employees.
