Never Again

I have had a life-long lust for a Corvette, and as I am in my peak earning years, was actually thinking I might just be able to sate the desire. No more. I will never buy either GM or Chrysler products again. Both firms should have been allowed to die a graceful death in bankruptcy court. Instead, they decided to suckle at the government teat and make the rest of us responsible for their irresponsibility. Now, instead of gladly supporting GM and its workers by buying one of their products I've long desired, I'm being forced to underwrite their mismanagement with my tax dollars.

I'll be driving my 13 year old Toyota pick-up a bit longer, and when the time comes, my next purchase will be a Ford. In fact, both the Fusion and Escape hybrids look pretty good to me and would meet my needs well. My son has driven the Escape hybrid at work, and says that it gets better mileage than his Focus. Not bad at all for something that can be taken into the boonies once in a while.
