Perhaps, but what does it have to do with sim racing? Obviously, he was trying to avoid e-mail responses by entering an incorrect e-mail address. Clark

1) I don't believe, Rik is a spammer. If you lose 50K or so because of GM's stupidity and arrogance, you have all the rights to x-post your experience and complains to car newsgroups. Further, Rik's page has no commercial content. Visiting it, you will see his valid data. Spam is: a) totally unrelated b) commercial c) annoying and often criminal. Spammers like to hide themself. Rik is: a) Cadillac collector b) Posting some (valid looking) complains to car newsgroups c) involved probably in some software business, as his E-Mail does suggest it - but he never ever mentioned any business activity (with the exception of buying a Caddy for himself from a car dealer). Judge it. 2) I agree, GM's customer service has to be improved. I had a '95 Chevy Lumina and one of the reasons I was happy to get rid of this car was GM's customer unservice. (Ok, I got what I paid for: basically OK, cheapo car with some bugs, rude dealer service, silly customer service). True, Chevrolet customer service is probably much worse, than of Cadillac. But as I had some questions to the GM Overseas Central Office, I found them extremly unhelpful as well. On the other side: we discovered electrical problems in my wife's Mitsu- bishi Diamante Wagon a few weeks aftter we bought the car (during in- stallation of aftermarket remote). Sure enough, Mitsu did not pay us for the installation itself, but they let the dealer fix the problem (the car was wired by mistake for non- U.S. delivery) for free and we got a free rental car (Nissan Altima) for the time the dealer got all the documentation (3 weeks!!!) he needed to fix this problem. After it was fixed, the car runs (unlike Chevy) without any complains. The joke is, I bought '95 Chevy for 17.5K, '95 Diamante for 21K - and the difference of the quality between of them is at least 10K, if not more. Sorry, Detroit! 3) Who ever wrote ("Jason LeBouef"): "Does that include the warranty on my 64 Beetle? GET LOST SPAMMER!" had obviously no time/mood to read Rik's page. He has to learn some proper manners, too. Internet shouldn't be the place for such offensive responses. Jason, please learn, how to speak/ write. No, Jason, don't even try to send me an offensive E-mail. If you do so, you have to face some consequences. Even after first offense: - I will contact your Provider (EarthLink Network, Inc) with a complain - You are automaticly acknowledging, that I have a legitime demand against you of NOT LESS, than $1000 compensation - You are automaticly acknowledging, that you are ready to defend yourself in the Court of the county of MY residence (Santa Clara, CA). I suggest to close this path and who consider Rik's complain to be of a valid nature, please write a booo-booo E-Mail to Cadillac. I did. No, I don't know Rik. I have no idea, who is he. But I feel bad for him - and esp. that some people flamed him so badly on the Net (shame on them!) Greetings: GR.

professed: Because it was posted to the following newsgroups: rec.autos.makers.vw,rec.autos.makers.vw.aircooled,rec.autos.makers.vw.watercooled,rec.autos.marketplace, rec.autos.misc,rec.autos.rod-n-custom,rec.autos.simulators Of these, only rec.autos.marketplace was relevant. __ "If life is going to exist in a Universe of this size, then the one thing it cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion."

I question the "legitimacy" of his complaint. He bought a Cadillac in the US and registered in Belgium, and he's upset because Cadillac won't honor the warranty. Since the warranty says clearly that it is not valid under that circumstance, why SHOULD they honor it? If GM's policy was different in that regard from other manufacturers, he might have at least some cause for dissatisfaction, but Ford and Chrysler have the same policy, and if I recall correctly the same is true of most imports sold in the US. He should have read the terms of the warranty _before_ he bought the car. And it's spam because he's posting it in newsgroups which are not frequented by anybody who gives a hoot in Hell about GM's warranty. --John -- automatic mailers. > Why do you consider this Spam?

professed: And crossposted to hell. Only one newsgroup he posted to has anything to do with the subject. I own a VW. I will never own another american car anyway. Why has he posted this in rec.autos.makers.vw.watercooled? Maybe if Rik had looked at the warantee before he bought the car, he would have noticed that his car would not be covered if he exported it. GM did nothing sneaky or underhanded. There is no excuse for not reading a legal document before you sign it. __ You never know what will inspire the insane -- that's why we call them insane.

says... I also hate users who post information like this stating that this is how ALL GM service is. It is based on HIS experience and the other guy's. The other guy should have paid attention. The service and support I've received for 12 years now is top notch and I would never compare apples to oranges. Maybe the Mitsubishi was better to HIM. The Mitsu-bashy's I've seen are quite the opposite, BUT I state that it is MY opionion only. -- Lannie Schafroth Iowa Network Services, Inc. 515 830-0443 Phone 4201 Corporate Drive 515 830-0123 Fax West Des Moines, Ia 50266 Any statements or opinions stated are that of my own and not necessarily that of my employer.
