GM has completely dropped the ball in the communication department. Here we have two reputable dealers providing contradicting information. FAIL from a corporate community perspective.

Deception, beguilement, deceit, bluff, mystification and subterfuge are acts to propagate beliefs that are not true, or not the whole truth (as in half-truths or omission). Deception can involve dissimulation, propaganda, and sleight of hand, as well as distraction, camouflage, or concealment. There is also self-deception, as in bad faith.



Hope that's not the case because that would be upsetting!

Leave Obama out of this!
Oh wait, wasn't it the Anointed One himself that singlehandedly saved Government Motors in the first place?

I was at NCM today and some in the know there state No cars have been shipped (Customers Cars) and they will start shipping next week.

At the back side of the factory you could see many cars wrapped and ready to be put on transports, also a few transports had cars loaded.

And for a few mentions above the plant is just off 65 and if a transport leaves the plant it would more than likely get on 65 N or S to start its journey and there is only one exit a transport can take out of the plant. None of the employees at the NCM has seen a loaded transport leave the plant as of 4:00pm today.

I'm sorry, I will limit my discussion to time machines and asphalt analysis for the remainder of this thread.

I think Rick might have posted a picture that someone sent him without actually looking into it. Stuff like that happens all the time with people trying to be "First to press."

We will wait for a response from Rick. I hope we are wrong but...

Fortunately, the Cash for Clunkers program eliminated most of the offending bumper stickers a few years ago

Oh wait a minute, time machines and asphalt analysis

it all depends on your definition of the word "shipped"
maybe those in the photo are being "shipped" to "non-customers" if that's possible?
