Until recently,  my family and I have been loyal owners of GM vehicles for as long as anyone can remember.   But the relationship soured for me when bad things started to happen - blowing an engine in my Blazer at 48,000 miles, which GM refused to pay for.  I made the mistake of replacing the engine and driving it past 100,000 - the "magic mark" at which point the engineered-in obsolecence kicked in...dumping coolant on my feet and stranding me in rush-hour traffic one particularly rainy morning.  I said "enough" and traded the heap on a Toyota Highlander.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now I read about &lt;a href="http://www.tompaine.com/feature2.cfm/ID/4518"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;, and I hate them just a little bit more.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6141778-107851085130335998?l=daleasmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6141778/posts/default/107851085130335998'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6141778/posts/default/107851085130335998'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://daleasmith.blogspot.com/2004_03_01_archive.html#107851085130335998' title=''/><author><name>Dale</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03379288732041229047</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141778.post-107403188519211796</id><published>2004-01-13T14:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-01-13T14:13:15.763-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>A co-worker sent me a &lt;a href="http://www.mystrealm.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1563"&gt;little puzzle&lt;/a&gt;.
