I reckoned I was ripped off.

In 1980 I purchased a Holden (GM) 1 tonner. I was to pull a trailer and have the tray loaded with fuel and pesticide. So I wanted a V8 and 4 speed gear box. I well remember the 4 speed carried an extra $700 in price.
Before I took delivery I picked up a broacher on this vehicle. I read that a 4 speed gear box was standard with a V8. I argued with the manufacturer about the extra cost. My point was because it was standard there should be no extra charge. I argued and argued to no avail. I remember the GM representative, his name was Hobbs.
I took delivery because I needed the vehicle. I haven’t bought a GM vehicle and that’s 39 years at the time of writing (April 2019). Would you have boycotted them like I have? Do you think it’s time for me to forgive them? Murder carries a lesser term.
