My family is weirdly intense about my choice in car manufacturers because I'm from a small town, and growing up there was quite the vested interest in what I'm seen driving because I'm a GM dealer's something something. It's caused quite a few issues in my personal life over the years, which I'm not expecting you to comprehend or understand.

All you need to know my hatred for the modern day General runs deep. Mostly because it's a company with a long institutional-like history and a deep integration into many communities, and was formerly a company that I cared very much about, for a variety of personal reasons and interests. But it's also a company that has been run by a long succession of absolute fucking morons that have made a long successive chain of absolutely r word decisions. Like this one for example. So I mean I'm biased, and that needs to be stated. But this is still the stupidest fucking move by a company that I've read about all week.

Also the vehicles are terrible and I'm about to have to haul my wife's POS GM for what feels like the 80th time this year to our local dealer (who is also complete shit, but I have a higher expectation of dealers than what is probably ordinary). I'm just over it.
