Piece of Shit American cars...
As some of you know, I drive a Chevy Avalanche truck... I had it die on me on the way to check out an office today at a mere 65k miles. I think the gas pump went out... I've analyzed all the shit thats happened to my truck the last 3 yrs ive had it... keep in mind i got it brand new too...

- broken gas pump (probably going to run around $400, 500? still waitin on the dealership)
- broken key lock ($550ish)
- broken alternator ($250ish)
- burnt tail light chip ($100ish)
- GM also had a recall on the tail hinge (which i have not 'fixed' since I dont use it anyways - a honda/toyota recall is a bad washer squirter a... ford/GM/american POS recall is because your tires might fall off your car while it spontaneously combusts and consumes your soul)

I was really looking into buying a 07' caddy escalade at the end of this year but now I don't think it's happening.. I'm hearing german cars suck these days as well so there goes my hopes of gettin one.... I might have to end up w/ a japanese/korean made car which i dont want (i think japanese cars are great but they're all over the place and 'lack character')... im definitely gonna get rid of my truck.

o wellz. now i understand y GM is on the verge of bankruptcy.

I have a wholesale business selling cars on the side (pays bills, tuition, and gives me some change) and let me tell you: I have a 2000 5- Series and its the a POS. Ive never had any problems with any of my Japanese cars..but the BMW has had to be towed TWICE! All within 300 miles. It only has 65k miles on it and the radiator is getting worn down. I say unless ur making 150+ a year, dont buy a European unless u can afford to get rid of it at 50k miles...
