    Talking GM goes "belly up" ina few days! My parting shot..

    I'm vindicated! Serves them right!

    All they had to do was build good cars for the masses AND enthusiasts, and workhorse trucks for the professional laborers. They also should have kicked the knuckledragger unions off the face of the earth 25 years ago.

    But they got caught up in kissing those grimy butts of UAW/CAW and focused their engineering on cupholders, SUV's and all the other fads and became the poster child for corporate American greed and mismanagement.

    All that will remain will be nothing but a a bad Toyota clone.

    The King is Dead! Sad but true.

    Buy your classic used GM car now before they are all gone!

    PS: Camaro sold (I miss it, but I'm doing OK) , and I am outa' here for good

    Just because they are going to file chapter 11 doesn't mean they are going anyplace. Lots of big companies do it... Just look at Donald Trump. Guessing you don't own your own business or understand the idea of filing bankruptcy so you don't have to pay bad debts and can restructure the company and continue forward.

    That debt is basically going to be exchanged for 75% ownership. Government is giving up one asset (a receivable) for another asset (ownership).

    Long live government motors...

    Its bankruptcy you moron, they aren't getting blown up by an atom bomb. They also did build cars for the masses, they built cars people wanted and it kicked them hard in the nuts. Unions suck and yes it is a reason they are in what they are.

    No. You, I and Mr. John Q. Taxpayer, get to help pay for it.
