My dad worked for GM, and so we got the family discount. My first new car was a 1973 Vega. The last GM car I bought was in 1987. A brand new Buick station wagon. In five years I had to have it repainted, GM paid for it, had the mass air flow sensor stop the car three times, fortunately on a two lane higway rarely traveled, and the fabric on the back of the rear seat was worn through.

Went looking at new Buick wagon in 1992, and there was no improvement at all in five years. We bought a 1992 Volvo wagon which is still going strong and looking good at over 290kmiles.



Hum, anyone want to relate the rise and fall of GM with the popularity of US in ME. Something along the lines of how shortsighted, self serving decisions end up losing the populace who find a better alternative.
