Yep, it's true. Ford refused to take it. If I ever buy a new car or truck, any guesses what it will be?;)

My family owns the Chevrolet dealership in Gilmer.

You can come there and talk to my Dad when you want a new vehicle. I'll tell him to take "extra care" of you for being a fellow DL'er.

BTW - That commercial bothers me as well. Kind of like the radio adds that say, "The Texas lottery supports Texas education." NO IT DOESN'T!!! It goes into the general fund.:mad: :mad: :mad:

You guys have got to remember that the individual dealers did not decide GM's course of action---many dealers will get or got letters advising them that they are no longer GM dealers. I don't like bailouts either, but we are talking about a lot of hard-working dealers, their families, and a lot of employee's families who depend on these dealers for a living. I've been involved as a car dealer as well as a GM management employee in former years.

Actually, since 1997 it all goes into the education fund now... (all the profits made anyway.)

http://www.txlottery.org/export/sites/default/Supporting_Education/ While I still don't like the idea of the lottery (a tax on people who are really bad at math) this at least supports their advertising.
