You can trick your whip all you want, but GM says that car is still theirs, no matter what you’ve paid. In a hearing this week, General Motors attorney Harry Lightsey said that purchasing and paying off your GM vehicle is a license agreement and not ownership.
The U.S Copyright Office is holding a hearing on whether anyone other than the vehicle’s manufacturer has the right to alter the that car’s copyrighted software. With modern design being what it is, this means almost altering anything about the vehicle.
Mechanics and private owners are saying they need to be allowed to make repairs on their vehicles to keep them running or maintain their business. But GM is saying that anyone unauthorized altering anything about the vehicle could create problems with the software and endanger the driver. This sounds more like a business ploy on the part of GM to hold a monopoly on vehicle repairs.

A title deed says differently
F**k you, you don’t own my 86′ Pontiac Parisienne. GO shove you fingers up your a**, GM.
Well they think they own it because since the government( us) bailed them out they own us.
Then why am I making payments for it ?
U would still have to register it and and apply for a title in which they would send you a certificate of title.
They should also pay for the gas… Guess I am going to sue GM for providing me with a car that does not run without gas
GM is Goverment Motors!!!!!!!
Makes no sense buying a car that I’m not going to own even after I paid for it. And the government is the owner of GM which the Obama administration stole from the legal owners.
Well thats true the way GM cars are made
