    Bailout .........

    With GM and Chrysler all but in bankruptcy .........

    We gave both Billions under the assumption that if they went into bankruptcy
    they would have to "close dealers and factories" and the ripple effect would
    be "incalculably devastating" to the economy

    Now after giving each tens of billions, Obama has all but given Chrysler to
    the Union (55&#37 and made investors take .10 cents on the dollar

    and GM is closing half it's dealers and several plants ..........


    WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I want my 80 billion back

    We better hurry up and get ash's tbss, too bad we can't get crap for her grand cherokee. I tried to warn her about it, i told her to get a Tahoe or Yukon because they keep their value so much better. I watched the Grand Cherokee go from a 13k value from last year to just barely over 8k this year. Talk about some B/S. A 2003 Grand Cherokee with under 50k should go for more than that I would think.
    2005 black Yukon XL SLT - traded in for me wife's new Fusion (GM sucks these days)
    2002 black Yukon SLT (the skinny sister)

    Older jeeps seem to hold their value better than the Grand Cherokees and such. That's because the older ones were built to withstand nuclear war and the new ones can't handle a stiff breeze!

    I agree...closing alot of dealerships around, but they say that's the 'plan' to be viable in the years to come....hard for me to see it....
