" Hi. You are going out of business. Best Regards, GM." |
YIKES, this whole thing is really getting ugly. It's the dealerships I feel bad for, they've been out there trying to sell these and now they're about to get the axe

Some of the crap Mazda dealers should get axed.

Good backup. I dropped by the Pontiac dealership to pick up a small part the week they announced the end of Pontiac. I swear, seeing the employees was like watching a bunch of zombies mope around. What a mess. They know what coming. |
[QUOTE=YaXMaNGTO;3023628]Medical field is looking damn good right now compared to auto.
Good backup. QUOTE] yeah it is a good field thats mainly the reason i went to school for the medical but i hate working in that field soo much and enjoy automotive i hope i can ride it out... |
just found out that a friend of mine who runs a Ford dealership got the news from Chrysler that they're on the list.
This is one of the ONLY Ford dealerships in the state that also has the Jeep franchise. Now he's scrammbling to figure out what to do with the parts department inventory and the specialized diagnistic tools in the shop. Also they have a Jeep Master Tech that works for the dealership, I assume he will get very bad news soon. |
One step closer to Obama's plan. Socialism!
Lets be bad asses like Europe and government-control major corporations like GM and GE Money bank. I mean if they do it, why shouldn't we?! |
maybe we can get universal healthcare like europe too. and a better standard of living like them too.
|
I personally think our standard of living is higher. That's just me. Considering how either of us would most likely live a completely different lifestyle if we lived in Europe at our ages. Owning a house and a rx-8 in america at 25 isn't tough. In Europe you'd have to be rich to obtain that same feat.
