Default Open Letter to GM

Dear GM, I have a 1985 Corvette and I must tell you I love it. However this evening i decided to change my brake pads. I am severely disappointed.

I have done several repairs to this wonderful machine. for example; to change the plugs i had to study 3 positions of the Karma Sutura. When i installed the exhaust i had to use a socket forged by Hercules made with the lighting of Zeus to loosen the bolts. The injection system maintenance requires contortion only achieved by Jo Jo the circus boy.

But this evening i allotted at least 3 days to install brake pads. Imagine my disappointment when i was completed this project in just 60 minuets.

I plan to purchase another corvette in the future. I hope this problem will be rectified in the future.

Yours truly
Shamdave
