Thread: Help Me Pass English! Survey for Final Paper

i'd like to thank all of you for your responses. my paper's written and will be turned in tuesday, march 15th, 2011. meaning no more responses are needed. so hopefully this won't pop up in my cp 8 months from now with a response and 6 people replying with clever "holy thread revival batman!" interpretations. thanks again

So for my final paper for my english class this quarter, i have to come up with a research topic and survey. Simple enough, now i just need data. And this is where the great members of GPF.net come in if you could just take a few minutes to fill out this awesome survey regarding brand loyalty, I would greatly appreciate it. you can PM if you'd like to, or just leave it as a response to the thread. Brevity is even more appreciated, and please no pictures.

Chrysler and GM both taking the bailout has made me disappointed with them, but the new revamping of brand image has helped to alleviate my disappointment.

What's yor age?
- Will be 26 next month

What's your gender?
- Male

Number of cars owned (include those you've driven)
- GTP is my 5th, not bad for 10yrs of driving, avg new car every 2yrs is about normal I think. Ive driven too many others vehicles to count. 10yrs driving, hundreds of cars of all types and brands driven... friends and family both... knock on wood, no wrecks to date, so I earned my trust to drive them

Do you have a favorite or any loyalty to a particular car brand? - GM all the way. Chevy fan since day one with the Corvette and still want an F-body, 02 SS to be exact. Most fun car Ive owned and driven was my 01 Mazda Miata but it was a pain to work on and needed about 100 more hp , but top down, racking thru the gears, on a windy road is a blast

If you were to buy a car of the last 4 model years, what would it be?
- Realistically Im sure you mean. I would probably go for an 08 Pontiac G8 or GTO... either would have to have the LS1 engine, be red in color, and preferably fully loaded. I just can't make up my mind which I would want more. No longer produced is of no concern to me, I just love the cars and that power plant (see previous F-body comment)

Have any of the recent recalls or financial problems endured by automakers affected your view of them, positively or negatively? (please list)
- Quite abit. I feel alot more negatively about GM as a whole. The CEO could have done so much to keep it alive but squandered away the funds and didn't seem to care. What use to be the number 1 vehicle company in the WORLD is now sitting towards the bottom of the totem-pole. Plus a factor that I work for them (Parts Salesman at the local dealership) gives a cause for concern as to what would happen to my job should there not be a turn around. I'm still a die hard Chevy fan, that won't change no matter what, but my view have swayed a little, I won't lie

What is the year, make, and model of your current vehicle? (if you have something other than a GP, please list that)
- 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Sedan, Silvermist FTW

If not affected by financial constraints, would you ever buy a car NOT manufactured by your favorite automaker?
(yes, no, or does not apply)
- I have a desire to own several cars not on my GM list. #1 is my dream car since I was a child. Porsche 911... year ranges have changed a bit since my first look upon them but regardless they just seem to keep improving every year. While I would love to have a new one, I can hardly imagine the financial capabilities to afford a $200,000 car, much less anything else. I would like to buy a multitude of cars as toys and plan to as time goes on, so YES, yes I would.

Do you perform your own maintenance and/or repairs?
- I do all the maintenance I can. I have limited supply of tools, but I do what I can. If its beyond my abilities I take it to the shop (Parts salesman at local dealership) and get one of the guys to do it for me in their spare time. This usually involves my lunch break being used while I help them and get a better understanding of how to do it myself next time.

I know its late and might not be any use now, but I thought I'd throw it out there just in case. Good luck
