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.

They can keep they’re fucking vehicles. Congress should have let them fail and gone under.
If that’s the case they can come and get my camaro and I’ll stop making payments now.
When I pay off my car, it’s mine you dumbasses!! Remind me to never buy another car from you idiots!
Don’t buy from government motors, you read what the left wing lawyer said, even if you buy it and pay it off, it still belongs to gm. Sounds kind of like property taxes doesn’t it?
No problem GM, I started driving a Toyota after the crappy 96 Camero I bough from you finally broke so many times I sold it. I don’t have any problems with my Toyota, never broke down or even been back to the dealer for any reason!
