GM to Close Plants for Up to 9 Weeks

Two people briefed on the plan say General Motors Corp. will close most of its U.S. factories for up to nine weeks this summer because of slumping sales and growing inventories of unsold vehicles. Source.

Remember back in January when the asshole at Bob Douchebag Chevrolet wouldn't sell me a car unless I ponied up at least $3k in cash and paid $600/month for a Trailblazer? HAHAHAHAHA. I hope he loses his job. Try actually wanting to make deals instead of thinking this is still 5 years ago when YOU could dictate whatever terms you wanted to potential customers. I don't feel any sympathy for the auto industry at this point for overpaying their workers to make crap-ass cars that are overpriced BECAUSE of their overpaid workers.

Good thing we gave them all that tax money.

hey mr. mt&nm, you do realize that the dealers and salesmen don't work directly for gm, yes? your car salesman's attitude and hard-sell practices have nothing to do with gm but everything to do with the archetype that are car salesmen. you seem like you'd fit right in with the sales staff at your local gm dealership, btw...
