Some people might not use the tools the way they were intended. Here are my two entries: http://www.chevyapprentice.com/view....b-0013724ff5a7 http://www.chevyapprentice.com/view....b-0013724ff5a7 How is this for starters Jim? http://tinyurl.com/owvba Not very creative. *Butt* definitely to the point. ;-) It's cold and raining. This thing was fun to do. Why don'y you try making one with an actual point? I fail to see what your point is. Agreed. I liked the second commercial better than the first, but both were entertaining. Did you send them to GM? Any response? -- 'Til next time, John H ****************************************** ***** Have a Spectacular Day! ***** ****************************************** I doubt that Gm would like either one. They really should pay attention to the fact that they are making the same mistakes they made in the past. And, we have all seen examples of fools who can't drive and talk at the same time. I don't think they are making the same mistakes they did in the 1970's. They are offering fuel efficient cars yet offer the larger cars, pickup's and SUV's for those who can afford them without worrying about gas mileage. Choice is good. Let's not forget that. Their quality has also improved dramatically. That is indisputable. What is driving them into bankruptcy are the deals they made with the unions when they were making money hand over fist in the 50's, 60's and 70's. Except for Ford and Chrysler they were the only game in town then and making money......lots of it. It was only right that they share those profits with the workers. It was also only right that the unions accepted the offers. That was then..........this is now. Their problem is they did not forecast what those promises/commitments would end up costing in the 21st century when folks started to retire and collect on not only the retirement pay but the free medical benefits. They are now paying the piper. Let's hope they do not renege on their promises to the folks who spent their lives helping them make money. If you promise someone a retirement check and to pay for their medical insurance, then for God's sake make sure you make good on your promise. I am generally not a pro union person (except for the skilled construction trades), but these folks accepted what was offered to them and it is time for GM to step to the plate and continue to deliver what they promised. Let's hope this does not turn into another Republic Steel/J&L Steel/LTV Steel deal for these GM retirees. GM isn't losing market share because of any deals they made with the unions. Where did I say otherwise? They are losing market share because I (for one) am not ever going to consider buying another GM product. Marketshare? I thought we were talking about their solvency. Declining sales alone will not put them into bankruptsy. What will are the deals they made with the unions that I wrote about earlier, combined with a loss of sales. |
