yea there is little good news as sales still slide. On an annualized rate we are at about 9.1 million units in this country from near 17 million. This number is still said to be dropping.Things look real grim for GM. Sabb went bankrupt and will probably go under. GM is trying to spinoff Opel now. World markets where GM was profitable has now collapsed also. GM is in deep trouble without billions more in help for 2-3 years

I see part being a huge issue shortly for all cars as supplier base is now collapsing.

I was told LS7 blocks are now NA

Just wait until the Feb reports are out. The last 3 wks in FEB have been SLOW is an understatement. Every shop, dealer, parts store and tow company I deal last month has been there worst, with no sign of light at the end of the tunnel. Im just a small independant shop.

I feel GM is not going to make it through this.
