Ordered a new GM ride

Assembled in Korea (buy merican)....

It's been 3 months... When can I expect delivery?

Kind of wanted to cash in on the GM pricing for everyone through the end of the month. And my kid took over my car.

so... you're saying that there might be sum ting wong with your Korean order?

The Koreans are building their cars in America and the Americans are building their cars in Korea. How wonderful is that?

I assumed there must be at least 1 or 3 dudes here involved in GM's supply chain. Someone can give me a heads up. The salesman at the dealership is useless.

writes his emails like this:
I looked today on computer
it isn't listed
Can't find vin

You should have received it in 30 minutes or less. If not, it's free.

In addition to being unfunny and vaguely racist, "sum ting wong" doesn't sound Korean at all.

it was a little funny, overly racist and, yes, not at all Korean.

Trailblazer with the roaring 3 cylinder....(I am/was a commuter, secure in my manliness, or lack there of.)

What's the nickname for a 3 cylinder? 4 banger is already taken.

You should have supported America and bought a Toyota.

Company I work for designs and builds tools (aka: bent screwdrivers) for most GM final assembly plants in North America.  Tools for GM plants outside of NA are primarily designed and built outside the USA.  

So, you bought a GM vehicle?

Still mind-blowing that was actually broadcast

We design and build tools/machines that go into US-based Toyota plants

My mom won't leave the house unless it's vital. They wanted a new vehicle. Told me to find them one. Dad wanted a Subaru Outback (retired 40 years from GM) Where we live warranty issues would mean driving two hours to traverse City. I had a Buick Encore GX delivered to them. 3 cylinder. Not the CVT. Got the 9 speed AWD. I was pleasantly surprised. Plenty of power. Phenomenal gas mileage. You'll have no problem with the three cylinder. I'm a Toyota/Lexus guy but Buick has definitely stepped up in quality. No idea about a Blazer. Kinda looks like an upscale Equinox?

The Encore GX and Trailblazer come off the same assembly line.

I actually did think I was buying a GM vehicle... The other I was looking at was the Mazda 5... Is that more merican?

How are non-auto people supposed to know?

Or, fuck it and put it on you guys to make better products?

Every time I get a new fleet car (also GM) it comes from Mexico

We make quality products, on levels equal to or better than anything made elsewhere. Problem is, many Americans still think they are inferior. "Thanks, fucking Car & Driver"...the absolute worst automotive publication. Figures they're based in AA.

Says Mexico on the tag?

Not sure. Id have to look.

Yes, it’s made in Mexico.

I know because 2.5 years ago I called the fleet company. I asked them why it was taking so long, when the update I had said it was built. I said, it should be here any day since I live in Michigan. That’s when they told me they build them in Mexico. I had no idea.

GM has 3 final assembly plants in Mexico producing Silverado/Sierra, Trax/Equinox/Terrain, and Blazer/Sonic. Which do you drive? My company has assembly tools at all three plants.

Does your company use green sauce to lubricate the machines that make the parts?

No, but some lubricants have kind of a green tinge. You'd think they'd last forever but the drums have expiration dates.

Equinox.
Right now, if you want more taken out of your paycheck and a 1000k down payment, you can get an Acadia. But I stick with the equinox. Nothing down, and they take $70 out of each paycheck for it. I can use it as my own, I have a gas card, and I don't pay any insurance/maintenance/repairs. I dig the arrangement.

Prediction. You are in an Acadia within 8 months once Rona is over.

Do you put the lubricant on your tacos after the expiration date?

Was your new ride on one of the freighters that turned over in the ocean? One was because of a storm and the other was because they had it set up to carry regular sized cars but they decided to cram on a bunch of SUVS at the last minute. Whoops.

Excellent deal. Get a new vehicle every 2 years?
