Default Speaking of cars...




Yeah. The "thing" is that when they compare brand new cars, they still find
more little defects in GM, Ford & Chrysler cars. Even if it's just a crooked
kick panel, it should make people wonder what else was done carelessly.




I noticed a lot of little nags like that on a rental Ford. It really is
a shame, I'd love to be proud of cars built in this country, at one
point in time we built the best stuff in the world, now it's a miracle
we can build anything at all. Heck by the time I got to highschool the
metal and wood shops had already been shut down. Everything is being
outsourced and everyone is so obsessed with buying the absolute cheapest
anything. It's getting hard to find quality tools even, brand names are
largely irrelevant, reputable names often nothing beyond stickers
slapped on the latest Chinese junk.
