GM set themselves up for failure with the way they manufacture cars and pay people. I was reading an article in the Automotive News saying that a gentleman that works in an assembly plant who’s sole responsiblity is putting a dipstick in the dipstick tube and he made over $80,000 last year because of his ‘tenure’. I don’t care how long you’ve been doing it, nobody deserves to make $80k to do such ridiculous labor. Does it suck that all these hard working Americans could be left jobless? Yes, but unfortunately it’s a necessary evil. America was built on free enterprise and competition - and the domestic manufacturers are simply NOT competitive with the line of vehicles they offer and they overcompensate their employee’s in addition. One could write a million page novel on why the domestic auto manufacturers are failing. Ford saw this coming and started revising their product and procedures quite a few years ago (late 90’s) and in turn they have been the least affected by the current economic climate. Okay, I’m done for now. ---

Okay, I’m done for now. I agree, While yes i own a cobra, im not a fan of many new ford products, but i will say out of the big three they are in the best shape financially. ---

I work at Northstar doing the landscaping.mowing over there and they arent having trouble at all. Every week im there, theirs people looking at vehicles and today the parking lot was mobbed with cars that need to be fixed/body work etc. The owner (Bill Cass) said they are doing good with sales also. Last week alone they sold 6 SS models. They cant keep them around long enough to put them on the show room floor. ---

Salisbury FTL. They were more concerned with trying to sell me a “mandatory” injector cleaning service rather than fixing my fucking car under warranty. They can suck a fat one. I went to Depaula, car was dropped off at 8am and was ready at 10am, with a new axle seal and steering intermediate shaft to boot. Their customer service is top notch and their dealership is nice as well. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/local-dealer-help/244458.md?page=2)
