Dodge for me.

I had an '89 Chevy Blazer (full size.)
The paint peeled like crazy. I took it back to my local GM dealer. They agreed to re-paint the truck. I asked for them to wait until Spring. (It was late November). They said, "Sure. No problem."

Long story short. In Spring, they didn't re-paint my truck. After phone calls and letters along with documentation, GM Corporate people told me that they would NOT re-paint my truck.
I had given them documentation that (my family) was dedicated GM owners. (No less than 8 GMs in the family, at this moment.) Surely they could re-paint this truck as a sign of good-will, for loyal GM owners.
They said, "Absolutely not. If they re-painted MY truck, they would have to re-paint other vehicles. NO."

I told them that, "I would NEVER own another GM product. They can keep their lousy paint jobs and their vehicles, and I will keep my money."
They had the nerve to tell me, "You don't sound like a faithful GM owner."

Well. . . DUH!

Not only will I not own another GM product, I will tell everyone I know to NOT buy GM. Even though that Blazer is still going strong at 240,000+ miles. (It's just not mine, now.)

Dodge

GM
Grand Mistake

GM wouldn't repaint a 15 yr old truck, and you're upset? What am I missing here?

They both suck IMO. I just think Dodge sucks an imperceptible amount less than GM, so that's how I voted.

In reality, I'd weld a Briggs & Stratton 5hp motor to my mountain bike and go.

Or I'd go buy a chopper. Depending on how much money I had.

A totally biased answer for the Bowtie- but my driveway's an even 50-50 split.
