Facebook Friday: Trucks Made Of Tinfoil Edition

2013 Chevy Silverado - Scratch Paint Budweiser

This week’s Facebook Friday contains a combination of hilarity, stupidity, and truth. Like so:

nobody i know is stupid enough to buy a brand new truck/ i mean there made of tin foil ffs if u sand the paint off it says “budweiser” on the body

I love my 2012 Verona!

Isn’t that a Suzuki? Or did you mean Verano?

I’ve been seeing a lot of ads for your product that I’d like to call BS on. Your ad shows a couple who have decided to buy a car, and they slide the salesman the price tag from the car, or the “sticker price”. The ad then claims that everyone pays the price on the tag because it’s an awesome deal. Unfortunately for you, I watch King of the Hill.

I choose to cruze

Had the construction company cancel the order for 14 new silverado 2500′s today due to general motors lack of response on my 2012 silverado. somehow it feels right for a company that promises to “take care of it” than does nothing.

hire me

Hey Chevy, how do you not make a competitor to the Escape/CRV/Sportage class of CUV? My wife and I are looking at AWD CUVs for her, and you guys severely lack in that department. And the Equinox is definitely not a comparable vehicle. I’d love to buy a chev, get it together!

going to wayne thomas chevy now to look into the new spark. the smaller the better. (some things)

Just buried a new regal driving my 5 speed 4 cylinder s10 smh them cars are whack ,quit makin garbage whips y’all fn up

I’m in love! Best relationship I’ve ever been in; it even talks back to me, and I don’t mind. We go everywhere together. I couldn’t imagine my life without! Thanks Buick!

To Buick: I currently own Regal 2001. I like the body style of the new Regal GS, but I hesitate to buy it because of the fuel rating. Is there an option which combines GS body style and the eAssist 25/36 mpg engine?

1997 Century. Just hit 25000 miles. Smells like new, and runs like it too. Who’s jealous?

Buick has come a long way from the granny’s cars. But they still fall short in the same category with Cadillac! It’s something about Cadillac that have a distinguish look and feel that sets it away from Buick. They just don’t build luxury cars; they build Cadillacs!

Buick brand luxury is not small and compact… Its big and spacious… Please give us something built on the same platform as the XTS… The new Regal is a disgrace to the name

I would like to alert you to a small engineering oversight in my 2000 Buick LeSabre. My odometer rolled over to 200,000 miles today. I noticed that no confetti exploded from any of the air vents, nor did any balloons pop out of the trunk. I can only assume that this means when the odometer rolls over to 300,000 miles, a tiny Mariachi band will begin playing from the glove box. (On a serious note, thanks for building such a reliable car.)

And that does it for this week’s Facebook Friday segment, only here at GM Authority. See you next week!

    “Unfortunately for you, I watch King of the Hill.”

    I dont see how this is unfortunate for GM….

    Honorable Mentions:

    “Had the construction company cancel the order for 14 new silverado 2500′s today due to general motors lack of response on my 2012 silverado. somehow it feels right for a company that promises to “take care of it” than does nothing.”

    Very True, never think that I can just screw this one customer, it looks like one customer, but you never know it might be 14.

    “I would like to alert you to a small engineering oversight in my 2000 Buick LeSabre. My odometer rolled over to 200,000 miles today.

    A 2000 Buick lasting 200,000? The owner should be extremely proud, most people would be hard pressed to get it to 50k. And adding confetti when the car clicks to 100k, 150k, 200k, and so on, would be pretty cool and pretty easy and cheap to do.

    The confetti thing would be cool but they would probably have it come of the airbags.

    “Buick brand luxury is not small and compact… Its big and spacious”

    And he’d be right, if this were 1980.

    Thankfully, this isn’t 1980, and words like “compact” and “luxury” can be joined together in a sentence just like that one I’m typing out this very second.

      Grawdaddy is right on the mark. Welcome to the new Buick!
