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.

General Motors really didn’t build that car, The American Taxpayer did, so$#%&!@*off

I love Chevy and GM, but if that’s the game they want to play, maybe we should help them go out of business and buy our cars and trucks from another company.

If GM still really owns their vehicles consumers buy, then GM owes everyone the money consumers have spent on Gas, Oil, Maintenance, and Insurance. What a crock of$#%&!@*
They can kiss my old, white, hairy$#%&!@*if they think I don’t own my own truck! I made payments on that sumbitch for four friggin’ years, maintained it, and refusing to have some damned GM dealer charge me $240 for a $32 part and 5 minutes of my labor.
I OWN that truck, it’s mine and I’ll shoot the first sumbitch that tries to take it!
When you buy a car/truck and the title goes to the State and you pay the taxes and fees on it. All you are doing is giving the State the ownership and you are just leasing it until you trade it in. So No you don’t “own” your car.
GM (Government Motors) acting like it.
Same with the deed on your house
