I love going to car shows, but car shows that are for GM only! What better way to spend your day! I hate having to see the fords and dodges that people bring and listen to how kool some think they are! What a waste of time, I guess that’s why super chevy shows are so popular.
Car shows that are for one brand only is the way to go then you can just focus on what you like!
You’re very loyal 🙂
They should had added the new 2014 Chevy Spark EV, the best microcar in the world!
That’s all well and good … but what the weird is going on with that Burban?
I love GM only own GM but I take them all in. To limit yourself is not a good thing here.
One has much to learn and better understand what is going on if you know what everyone has not just the one you like.
One must look at the entire picture and not just a few pixels to really be informed.
Sorry I have to disagree I have only owned chevys and I still own my first one! I know what I like and have no time to sit and listen to other people brag about thier less then impressive cars and trucks that aren’t from GM!
Hail to the king! GM!
I also own only GM vehicles, got 3 Chevys and a Pontiac. Right now they’re building some impressive vehicles but back in the 90’s when I was working at a GM dealer as a mechanic, there wasn’t much to be proud of and the 80’s was worse.
I can respect that different people like different cars, after all variety is the spice of life right? To be fair, most companies have built a few great cars and they’ve ALL built their share of junk too.

Exactly. I can be a GM fan, and at the same time look at the new Jag F-type and say that it’s an agonizingly beautiful car. I can also look at Jag’s history and see their ugly blemishes too, but that doesn’t diminish my admiration for the F-type anymore than the Cimarron does for my admiration of the ATS.
Well we don’t agree on this, there is one car company and its GM the rest just take up space!
Yes I even love opel vauxhall holden and sabb cars too!
It’s called being a real GM fan!
LOVE that new Jag F-Type.
That makes since! The cars GM put out in tge 80 90s were just as bad as anything ford or dodge put out!
