Hmm…if I can just get past the idea of driving a piece of unadulterated crap, the local Chevy store has a stripped Aveo advertised for around $10K. So if I get my hands on one of these coupons, I could end up with a brand-new car for around $8,000? Sounds like an interesting plan for a third vehicle…

Garage Mate? My first association was: “Sounds like Shop Vac. It sucks”

Then I consulted Wikipedia:

“Mate (pronounced IPA: [ˈmate]) is an infusion, containing stimulants including caffeine[1], prepared by steeping dried leaves of yerba mate (Spanish) / erva-mate (Portuguese) (Ilex paraguariensis) in hot water.”

I’m impressed now. GM has its marketing down to a tea.

“Garage Mate” why does that name not sound smart. Maybe I’m the only one who gets the image of being under the hood of a non running car in the garage trying to fix it when I read that. It just doesn’t sound like something that is going to bring back customers especially the ones who left because their GM blew up, like me.
