Fuck they took lessons from the government. They can change contracts whenever they feel like it too. LOL.

Uh yes, you can have transportation. We have 3 choices; we also reserve the right to modify or revoke this agreement or choice or combination of choices in any way at any time.

If you bring in a quart of 0W40 oil, they give you a ride home! Kinda like a food drive for the homeless.

Almost gonna need to bring your own oil and parts to get this done. Glad they are waiting til June to tell everyone they need an oil change. That gives them time to stock up vs telling you and then saying they cant do it due to national backorder. ROFL.

This motor has been debated on forums all over the interwebs for some time. We’ve seen tantrums thrown, GM defended, claims this was all internet bitching, hell we even had a guy blame the 3.0 as the real problem. The latest news got me to thinking and I was curious how much experience the human race in America alone had on v8’s leading up to this debacle.

According to ChatGPT…
It’s challenging to determine the exact number of V8 engines produced in the United States, as comprehensive production records spanning over a century are not readily available. However, we can infer from historical data and production figures that the number is substantial.

Key Highlights:

• Chevrolet Small-Block V8: Introduced in 1955, this engine series has become the most mass-produced automobile engine in history, with over 100 million units manufactured.
• Cadillac’s Contribution: In 1914, Cadillac introduced the first mass-produced V8 engine for consumer vehicles. Within the first year, they sold over 13,000 cars equipped with this engine.
• Ford and General Motors: Both companies continued producing big-block V8 engines through the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, primarily for trucks and performance vehicles.

Considering these figures and the widespread use of V8 engines in American vehicles—ranging from trucks to luxury cars—it’s reasonable to estimate that hundreds of millions of V8 engines have been produced in the U.S. over the past century.

Yep, it just seems like in the last 5 years there are very few industries capable of delivering reliable products at reasonable costs.

There is a home inspector here in Phoenix that has a well know YouTube channel. He posts videos of his home inspections and the quality of the work is so bad, the homebuilders sued him to stop him from posting his reviews. He's inspecting new homes that cost $400k to $1M+ and there are so many things wrong with them and serious code violations they are uninhabitable. Even the city inspectors sign off on the crap work.

Corporate America and the government simply does not give a shit about their customers so long as there is money to be made.

I don't know when we get a full reset, but this country is a damn mess!

And there it is, it’s all about money. Always has been it’s just gotten worse and more blatant. The hole they have for wanting more will never be filled. We all suffer for it.
