Dear GM,
Do not make the reverse lights illuminate on your vehicles when you put your vehicles in park and get out. It makes busy parking lots a pain in the butt.

Personally I'd settle for them making valvetrain that didn't explode at 25,000 miles on a '15.
Yeah, that lifter shouldn't be in two separate pieces.

And I thought it was annoying enough that autotragic cars flash their reverse lights whenever you pass over that gear position...

Uh oh. I’ve got a 2016 5.3 Silverado with 30,000 miles on it and I’m expecting Honda type reliability or something close to it.

Meh, Jimmy Buffet is meh. Parrotheads suck.
I'm sorry. We can't be friends anymore.

See above photo of AFM valve lifter that separated. Flat cams, busted rocker arms, bent pushrods, failed VLOMs are also common. Radiators seem to start leaking as early as 10,000 miles. Oil pumps randomly frag for no apparent reason (currently nationally backordered, we've been waiting 3 weeks for one) Also, prepare for decarboning of the valves, otherwise they start sticking and misfiring, thanks to DI. If you wanted Honda reliability from a GM truck, should've gotten an '07-'13

Oh, well, I'm sure I'm something you hate, too.
On another subspecies note, I hate rabid DMB fans, also, whatever they're called. I'm sure they have some cute name as well.
Dear automobile drones/life sheep/whatever,
If you're not getting fuel, do not park at the pumps. Also, it is rude enough to just park at the pumps, but why park your gas car at the only diesel pump and then go on an apparent 30 minute shopping trip inside the gas station?
Signed,

I've mellowed out quite a bit in the last decade or so, can't think of anyone I would say I "hate". Still have a strong dislike for a few A-holes, however.
So, is it music that people enjoy in general, or something they did to you personally?
How do you feel about Deadheads? Come on over, I'll put on some tunes and we'll have a few beverages and work it out.

Basically my rant from a few days ago! If there are gas pumps open, don't take up the only diesel pump!
Just got my (not) Roadkill magazine. It is a Hot Rod magazine as Roadkill is apparently discontinued.
They say that I will get the same NUMBER of magazines as is left on my Roadkill subscription, however Roadkill was quarterly, Hot Rod is monthly.
Somehow this just seems wrong, maybe I am just mad that I won't be getting Roadkill, something I really was looking forward to.
I guess I will have more junk mail to throw in the trash. (Yes, right now I feel that way about Hot Rod magazine... )
Deep Breath, .... I don't feel better, but I will, I guess....
In reply to Duke :
I got talked into going to a DMB concert about years ago. It was the only one I ever walked out of early. Sitting on a bench outside the arena was a much better time. I also cringe at the thought of spending time with Parrotheads or worse yet Phishheads. I understand why people need to be stoned at those shows.
Which came first? The E36 M3ty drugs that made you want to listen to E36 M3ty music? Or E36 M3ty music that made you want to take E36 M3ty drugs?

I never understand why people waste their time worrying about what other people like. We are different and like different stuff. Deal with it.
In reply to pheo :
Circle Track was apparently cancelled as well, also replaced with Hot Rod. Don't care how good or bad Hot Rod is, it is not a substitute. I wouldn't use that rag for toilet paper. You people suck.
In reply to ncjay :
I thought I would cool down after a quick bite to eat,
I got a BLT at Steak and Shake, one thin slice of tomato, one leaf of lettuce (no joke) and 2 small pieces of bacon,
the worst BLT I have ever had, it was the first time in over a decade that I didn't tip. Well I decided it was just a bad day.
As far as Hot Rod, I decided I want my money back, but that will never happen. I will trash 'em when they come in.
Of course now I am "one of their customers" so they will feel free to flood me with ads and crap. I agree, you people suck.
Sorry if I am a little bitter, I am working my butt off in school and the one thing I had to look forward to is gone.
In reply to alfadriver :
Absolutely!
I like Buffett and DMB. And no, Appleseed, I'm not on drugs. Except for my cholesterol.
Doubt I'll go to any more concerts, just don't like crowds anywhere.
Don't care what someone else listens to as long as it's not in my ear at ridiculous volume.
If you come to my house, you'll get my cd changer, yeah, I'm old, on shuffle with anything from Bluegrass to AC/DC to Johnny Cash to Metallica and anything in between. And a cold beer or other beverage of your choice and friendly conversation.
Life's short. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Actually, if you call the customer service line, they will refund the prorated amount left on your original subscription .
In reply to alfadriver :
I generally only mind when they feel the need to drone on and on about how great their favorite jam band is. Certain groups are very vocal about their bands and get hurt feelings if you don't care how many times they've sleep in a strangers Civic after seeing them.

Of course, that ignores the droning on and on here about how much we all like cars, right? And how mad people get when so few like cars and racing....
Honestly, it's not even just about music. Particular cars, what sport you like, the food you like, the kind of vacations you like, etc. Every year, there's a thread that pretends that the posters are above everyone else about the Super Bowl. You don't like X, great. Don't watch, participate, eat, whatever. Why do people put effort into trying to put down those who like that? That, I think, is a waste of time. (unless that's part of your enjoyment- then go for it)
edit- along the lines of those rocket scientists that were cheering over the Falcon Heavy- it's not a bad thing when someone is *that* excited about something.
In reply to Javelin :
I have an email message waiting for them with that very thing in mind. I will see if I can find the customer service # tomorrow If I don't get a response.
I have a feeling that quite a few people will be disappointed and call.
I really kind of wonder what else they canceled and why, we know Roadkill and Circle Track, anyone know of others?
