… pour yourself a shot of tequila and suck it up, buddy.

At least that’s the word on the street these days when it comes to buying a defective vehicle from Chrysler.  The L.A. Times reports that settlement checks issued under states’ “lemon laws” are bouncing like Nancy Pelosi during an Obama speech and complaints are being given as much attention as were the nationwide Tea Parties on April 15th.

Chryler’s Chapter 11 filing means that any settlement incurred before April 30th must must now be approved by the bankruptcy judge, but Chrysler has stated it has no plans of its own to ask the judge to approve any of them.  So just like everyone else holding unsecured Chyrsler debt, if you’ve ended up buying a defective Chrylser vehicle, well, in plain English you’re S.O.L.

And despite President Obama’s bold claims that the government will honor Chrysler warranties and such, according to consumer advocacy groups, the automotive task force has more important matters to handle.

Remind me, please.  Who thought having an uncle by the name of Sam in the car business would be a good thing?
