I don't think I'll be snapping up any GM stock when it goes public.

Ford still makes a good truck from factory that does not need a bunch of add ons like my Toyota did. When our company F350 diesel came off lease I returned it and offered a few thousand less than the lease buy-out. The lease guy said the buy-out is X amount of $ and there is NO negotiation. I gave him the keys and a check for $1100 for being over the allowed mileage and walked across the street and got a Toyota. I kept the key fobs for the command start and every night when I drove by the dealership would fire the Ford up. Amazingly even during -40 below you would see the lights come on and a big puff of smoke from the back lot. I did this religiously for about 3 months until she sold. My favourite truck was an old beat-up '77 Chev pick-up. It was purple where there was still metal left and none of the gauges worked and the gas tank leaked but it would always start.
