One of the biggest things in life is one word:Happiness.Some people fake it,some live it.
Life can be snatched in a Blink of a Eye (MW) My friend met a mosquito.He didn't make it.That's the card he was dealt.
Their is always a reason why **** happens.Sometimes you figure it out?Most times,not.
Enjoy whatever brings you Happiness.Fighters Do Win..Most of the time
Can't believe #2 in sales did nothing...Hmm,Someone is thinking or was thinking to purchase from them.Life is unpredictable
Enjoy life and your car

I really dislike that people keep saying I'm not a fighter. If I weren't, I would have given up and picked up the car a long time ago. It is clear that most of you are speaking from point of view of not having actually dealt with any kind of problems with GM. Those that think that throwing a tantrum is going to get you what you want with GM... are very naive. Every time either I or GM has a proposal...it takes 7 to 10 days to send that idea up the ladder to the powers-that-be that decide the outcome.

It's very true that behind the scenes I've been doing and making calls daily. Not to just GM. I don't post every single thing I do on this forum.

Since they said take it or leave it we're not negotiating anymore . I very calmly gave them MY ultimatum. Take the entire car back , give me my money back 100%...Or meet my very reasonable demands. That's it....and I got what I asked for!

Oh yeah, I was told because I was always calm, but firm, that actually played to my favor
All the later posts just say you are driving A car, You never said what actually happened or what you are driving unless I missed something.

Sounds like she's driving the car she ordered, perhaps with additional warranty and other things thrown in.
