Having worked for GM in the past, ahh no. HUGE RED FLAG.

Now my experience comes from the 1980's so it is a bit dated, but I don't think this would change, but who knows, crazy world.

You can not sell a vehicle for over MSRP, you can add as many "extra services" to it to make the price go wherever you want it to, but as this letter is written, if it was me that letter would go to the district rep or zone rep, however they do it now. NO.

I could do an entire non ending thread on the car business, but in a nutshell you don't need any of that extra crap that they put on the car, and say no to most all those fees. Just pure profit for the dealer, and the dealer is not GM, they just sell the products it is a private business that must meet specific....goals....I guess I will say to stay a dealer. I would lobby in my day for pulling this shit stains franchise.

Did you ever watch the series Suvivorman, the thing that really started this entire.....deal. He did it right and the way it is shown on tv was how it really was.

He did a special on just making the show, he did have a radio just incase, but all the filming was done by him, a shot of him walking away or to you, yea he would have to make that same trip twice to pickup the camera again. I think I remember him stopping it because it was tearing up his body something horrid.

They are older, but quite good. If you want to see the real thing and what started it, check it out.

Or, you can watch "Alone," which pits a dozen or so amateur survival experts in a competition to see who can stay out the longest using their knowledge and gear chosen from a supplied list. It is pretty good, though from a viewer's perspective it can be boiled down to watching several individuals slowly starve.

This may be true. Few weeks ago I bought a new truck and the GM dealer said everyone on the wait-list is paying $20k over retail.
 
Picked a few banana peppers this afternoon.

for seeds my parents would let them over ripen, turn red. they would string cotton thread through the tails and hang them to dry. once dried and shriveled they would open them for the seeds and the rest they would boil the pepper and make mash potatoes and add spices to taste. great little meal for on the run. wish they taught me more as both grew up in villages where their parents taught them. sadly most kids dont know anything other than frozen these days. most still think their food comes from the supermarket.
