Just out of curiosity, do you know how much it cost to have the window motors replaced? No, he hasn't had the work done. It's cold where he lives so he's gonna drive it through the winter and then dump it. But it's probably comparable to a Mustang I had a few years ago that cost $260 to have one regulator done. And that was at a small repair shop, not the dealer.

Either you guys are exaggerating or I'm extremely lucky. Or maybe it's you that are exaggerating. In my neck of the woods there are many that have owned one of the domestics but few who currently do. That's been the trend the last 15 years I've been in Florida. My older brother has always been a die hard GM buyer. We've had some brutal family discussions at holiday time. He's now on his 3rd piece of crap GM in a row and he's now looking at a Toyota Tundra, says he's had enough. His current vehicle is a 2002 GMC pickup with about 70K miles and needs about $3K in unexpected repairs (starter, both window regulators, check engine light on, and rear end work). Viva Viagra!

American buyers have been deserting Big 3 cars over the last 20 years, and there HAS to be a reason...too many doors that don't fit, too many hoods that do not meet the fenders, too many Pintos and Vegas, and too much junk manufactured well after the years of the Japanese junk... Excellent post. Based on my own personal experiences as well as my friends and families owning Detroit's vehicles over the last 25 years, we all fit in to your example. Simply put, we bought one of the Big 3 when we were in our 20s, maybe one or two more afterward, and they fell apart, literally, as the vehicle aged over 5-7 years and upwards of 100K miles, and were then worthless. Yes, there was the occasional vehicle that held up, but by and large that was the exception. I'll never forget an 85 Old Cutlass Ciera I bought in 88 when it had only 38K miles. I had it for 2 years and averaged $150/month in unexpected repairs over those 2 years, driving down the road,and wham, all accessory belts snap leaving me stranded. That's just one example I'll never forget. I was going to buy some stock in GM since it's so low, but changed my mind as I just can't buy stock in a company whose product I don't believe in. In my family, there are 4 Toyotas and I will never own anything but a Honda or Toyota! I guess I'm a Baaad American!

I think driving without insurance could be classified as breaking the law. Morally, yes. Legally, no. Driving w/o insurance, though very stupid and wrong, is not a criminal offense.
