Re: Corvette Vs Gt?!?! Reply #16 – January 13, 2005, 10:25:04 PM Hey Hawk....(nice car by the way) I don't watch news/media nor have I ever heard anything about the automotive industries union problems from such sources. I make a conscious effort to not be directed by the opinions of others because there is a lot of floating around out there. Mostly I apply common sense. I am not saying that becuase you are in a union you don't work hard either. I am saying that everyone can't make the same wage regaurdless of what you do or how well you do it. (Thats sort of like communism) I have three family members that work in three different unions and they all say about the same things. That's where most of my opinions about unions come from, not some idiot on TV. When the lazy ass that screws up makes the same pay and benefits that the guy (you) who works hard and shows up on time every day, there's something wrong with that. Not every union accross the whole country is the same either. Every employee deserves a fair wage and a descent work environment, but everyone should be held accountable for how well they do their job. It's nice to know that Ford is making great profits. And obviously no company is going to price their cars according to wages of employees, but if GM unions are squeezing the company and they have to produce a cheaper car to make up profits thats going to hurt the company in the long run. I do not disagree with any of your comments exept "Back to topic now please.....Gt vs Vette". You can't just dish out a bunch of attacks and then decide to end it.Funny how if someone in any union hears someone say something negative about any union they get all defensive. Never fails, and I knew there would be at least one union member on this board. Eric, I know I knocked on the chevy pretty quickly but I was in love with the late 80's early 90's camaro, but it was just such a piece of . Engine and tranny worked great, but every little piece of everything kept breaking. I got the car in great shape with only 80k and it still wasn't very good. If it needed a tune-up it would quit running in the middle of the street. I am still bitter, and will hold it against GM for at least another 10 years. Maybe when they bring the Camaro back I will give it another try. Quote Selected

Why is it funny that I defend myself because I hear someone talk shiznit about something I don't agree with.....it's called an opinion and everyone's entitled to one.... that's why you voiced an opinion as well.....but leave it at that because frankly that statement above is ignorant and just adds fuel to the fire. You'd be just as quick defending yourself if someone (As a crude example) made a blanket statement that all guys named Jason are lazy dog f#ckers....you wouldn't get defensive? My guess is you'd be in there with :2gunsfiri Anyway I'm done with anymore talk on this subject as I know where it will end up going....a flame war........even though we're supposed to be talking about Vette vs GT Quote Selected

Re: Corvette Vs Gt?!?! Reply #19 – January 14, 2005, 12:41:17 AM The current Corvette is kinda fat and ugly, I think. It could be twice as fast and half as expensive as the GT and I still wouldn't want one.When I think about or hear Corvette, this is what pops to mind.. and if I ever owned a Vette, it would be one of this body style. (probably a 71 tho) It's about the only exception to my no-Chevys rule. :p Quote Selected

Did you say this???Sorry, I can't leave stuff alone. I didn't mean to offend you. I agree with all of your opinions except for the above contradiction. And I was not trying to make any blanket statements about unions, sorry if it sounded that way. If we had this conversation face to face over a couple of beers and an engine it would probably go a lot better. Quote Selected
Re: Corvette Vs Gt?!?! Reply #21 – January 15, 2005, 10:18:13 AM What I meant by the top quote was that I don't feel people have a valid opinion about unionized auto workers until you've been in their shoes and worked on the line. And yeah...these conversations always go better face to face...especially over a beer. On a forum it just never comes across the same and more often than not statements come across as hostile when typed out....and a lot of times they weren't meant that way by the person typing it.
