Chrysler to shut all manufacturing for at least a month.
That will conserve some cash.

Isn't Chrysler's problem that their owner doesn't want to throw any more cash in to help it out....

That, and they make cars that a lot of people don't really want to buy...

I want to buy Jeeps.

But nothing else.



The Asians haven't won me over though. There's only 1 total Japanese vehicle I would consider buying (Toyota FJ). I'm really picky with my vehicles though. Out of the hundreds of models out there, I'd buy maybe 10.

I'm the exact opposite. I couldn't care less what I drive as long as it gets me to and from where I need to go.

Though.....I will say I love old Chevy trucks!!

Didn't Congress basically say as much? They didn't want to throw money at the problem if the owners weren't willing to throw money at it.....they were basically just looking for a handout when they had the cash on hand they were asking for.

I just don't like the looks of most modern vehicles. The only trucks out there I like right now are Chevy/GMC full-size (the Colorado/Canyon aren't bad either). There's only a few SUV's I like, because I like old-school "boxier" SUV's (minus the FJ, which just looks cool). The only cars I like are mostly European, and mostly out of my price range.

I wouldn't drive a pricey European car even if I could afford it for the same reason I hate having a blackberry. I would feel like a tool.

I wouldn't drive a Japanese car for the same reason I don't live in the suburbs.
