damn... Bundy broke down right before he hit 1,000,000 miles in his dodge

1gmfanatik 02-12-2008 03:01 PM

CHEVY POWA!!! lol

ozthunder 02-12-2008 03:25 PM

How about that $39 billion that was lost last year?

1gmfanatik 02-12-2008 03:27 PM

How about, every car manufacturer has there ups and downs. GM isn't going out of business anytime soon, that's for damn sure.

Damn, why the negativity already??

They didn't "lose" $39 billion in operations, a substantial part of that was tax write downs.

any car can run for 1million miles. it all just depends on how much money you want to keep spending on repairs.

They lost enough to offer buyouts on every hourly worker, and that's more than enough to raise a red flag IMHO.

this one car is supposed to make me change my mind about american made products?.....




nope....sorry.

Scapegoat 02-12-2008 08:28 PM

i guess if this guy had a toyota it'd be turning 2 million miles?

ozthunder 02-12-2008 08:58 PM

Even owning a GM, cmon, most of the products are just not made up to par.

werd...
now find a car that went 1 mill on just oil changes!!!!!!!!!





besides....we all have heard of that benze or whatev that hit one mill and benze sent the guy a brand new benze that was worth like 100k and bought his old car and put it in a museum i think.

For a brand that produced the Aztek, Malibu Maxx, and the Allante, there is little to look forward too, especially with these CAFE laws and the news that there will be no Trans Am.

Sled 02-12-2008 09:40 PM

i believe this is a big deal because this truck has the original motor/trans/rear. the older chevy/gmc trucks were great trucks. i would put them against a toyota any day. you guys have no idea.

thats alot of driving...

wasnt there a car at the philly car show last year that went like 3million miles all on original motor/trans. might have been a jaguar?...thats impressive....

1 million... :sleep:

den9 02-12-2008 10:02 PM

original trans is impressive, if it wasnt ever rebuilt. he must of drove so easy, never floored it, never put it in gear while rolling.

james_ls 02-12-2008 10:24 PM

Been done before.

Cool I guess...

1gmfanatik 02-12-2008 10:34 PM

I shoulda figured there would be alot of people in here with half full cups of haterade..

Just thought it was cool that there was a GM product that made it over 1 million miles, it's not often that you here about anything making it even half that.

TurboTagTeam 02-12-2008 10:36 PM

The truck was a delivery truck in the midwest. All it did was highway miles. Not alot of stress on moving parts.
