Congrats Bill. Nice.

They better do something. Getting rid of almost 25% of the work force, that's their plan. Wow.

The unfunded retirement benefits that the big auto and UAW agreed to, is going to kill them.

There is more retirement  in many GM cars than steel. I edited out an "every and put in a many"

There are about 2 retirees for every current GM worker.

Not good.

It figures,  I bought my Colorado in April...If I had waited any longer though I would have lost my trade. Just my luck.

Bill, you seem to buy new vehicles all the time.  You bought a brand new one and still have your truck SS?  Lotsa plastic on those, but they are neat.

No plastic on this 05'. W/O Body Hardware.  Jet black everything but chrome bumps.   It's gorgeus!!!

Yeah, Cat back Marshall.  I'm gonna try to post a sound clip of the Corsa.  I've tried just about all over the years, ands depending on the exact vehicle, always loved Flow Masters, but these boys here at Corsa are makin a nice piece!!  Expensive though.  But ya gotta pay to play, I always say.

Looks nice Bill. I had a Gibson cat-back system once, it came out in front of the rear tires, they called it super truck exhaust. Since then I've gone to duals with 2 chamber Flowmasters.

if you have ever thought about a duramax diesel pickup,

this empoyee pricing is about $3000 less than  any rebate program GM has run in the last 12 months.

this would be the time to buy.

I like a throaty exhaust @ idle.  Then I was to be able to move without making too much noise.  I also like to make a little boom when I startup.  Along with that sound clip you might want to post up some pics?

Whitedog, yes it is a great discoubnt they have going.  I did notice at my dealer that it would not aplly to "medium" duty trucks.  Not sure if the diesel you mentioned falls into that or not.    Also anyone else, if you go to Chevy's official site, you can plug in what truck ya want, w/ what options, it will do a search for you of where you can find it, and at exactly what price it will be after discount.  As Whitedog siad "no hassle/haggle" It is what it is.
