I’ve made 4 car ownership decisions in my life, and I’ve always made the choice to buy a Chevrolet. I’ve always liked the style, ride, comfort, power, accessory availability, etc. Today we received a letter in the mail from GM saying thanks for being a customer, we are still here, ready for business, better than ever because we are backed by the government, don’t let our bankruptcy worry you because we are marketing it as “reinvention” and we really think you should buy a new vehicle from us. Then at the bottom of the letter was this coupon:

Dear GM:

Go to hell. You are not only a failure, but you are a sellout weasel bitch. You begged for $20billion to keep you out of bankruptcy, now you are stealing $30billion more after bankruptcy. You sold out to the UAW and you sold out to the government. You deserve to die a horrible death. I will not support your company any more. I feel sorry for all the people who’s lives you have ruined, like your employees.

Sincerely,

I think we are going to be the last generation of the USA as we know it. I don’t like where this leads
