Yes friends, get your officially unofficial "SAVE GM" t-shirt before your bank shutters its doors and your credit cards are maxed out! Show your 'merican pride on your chest with these 100% cotton t-shirts. They're also 100% not-made-in-the-US, just like your cars will be if the feds don't step in to bail out the General. Remember, if we're not willing to "SAVE GM" — who will? Act now before GM's lawyers tell to us to pull 'em down. [Unofficial Jalopnik Cafepress Store]

I bought a 2009 Corvette Z06 only 3 weeks ago, and ordered a 2010 Camaro SS last week. Just doing my part

Glad those that can are. If you want to help some more.........I'll take a ZR-1

Seriously though if wall st. companies were "too big to fail" where does that put the auto industry. GM was the biggest employer in the world.....now surpased by Walmart but think of all the secondary losses in the support industries..........a good chunk of the sema show.

not to crash this or anything cause i like GM but don't you think they should help there self before we bail them out? i think some people up top should take a pay cut cause there overpaid in my opinion and my .02

GM has to save themselves with better quality plain and simple. Great mechanical but the designers are out to lunch. Love USA and try buying US stuff as much as possible but I am not going to buy junk to line someone elses pocket.

Wife wanted new SRX? SUV last year. Went to look at it and the paint was blotchy all down the side. Explained I wanted car that wasn't hit. They took me to the lot where there were about 5 more each with the same problem. The dealer told me it is just the way silver looks and we were crazy. A 5 year old could have picked it out. This isn't a $20k car. Same cheap plastic adds, cheasy knobs, and just a real $5 plastic look everywhere.

GM killed GM. The Vette is the only thing worth buying but even there they just can't keep the cheap mentality away. Ever compare the leather in Vette to a BMW or Porsche. Where does GM find cows that even have a cheap feel. Spend time in a German car and you will never go back.

Shame as the mechanicals have always been on top but as always wrapped in cheap nonsense. Side vents on a $60,000 Escalade look like they were just bought from Pep Boys on sale.

Hate to say it but the union's need to reside to the fact that health benefits for life, raises every contract etc.... Need to be adjusted. I am a union member (not in the auto industry) and we can't touch the benefit packages they get.

bought a new trailblazer ss and sold it, ive seen better fit and finish on kias.Bought a new escalade and it was marginally better . when i see my friends import suvs you can really tell who was worried about shipping all our jobs to mexico and who was concerned about their product.The only bad thing is this is a catch 22, i dont want to help the corporations at all because they literally do not give a damn about anyone of us.They never have, never will, we are just numbers to them. But if they fail it means their millionaire employees will remain rich and all the working class Gm employees will be out of jobs and SOL.
