Letter from the Boss

That was supposed to read "poor quality (argument) aside"

No Timmy, I'll argue till im blue in the face about the qaulity of cars, they are neck and neck these days, the only difference is when you need a fuel pump for a toyo its 800.00 compared to an american car at 400.00.
I dont fall into the foriegn cars are better persona. If i asked 100,000,000,000 people why they think a foriegn car is better they dont have an answer for me, thats because they dont have an answer, I work on them I have an answer. its all what you believe my friend....I have yet to be stranded in an American car in the last 20 years.
If I asked what the best boat is on this site obviously the answer will be Correct Crafts even though Mastercrafts and Malibus' came along way the last 20 years and along with them came the qaulity

I've always owned American cars, and I hope to always own American cars, but I currently own a 2004 Eddie Bauer Expedition. This has been the worse car I have ever owned. Rear end replaced twice (within the first 13,000 miles), headliner removed three times to repair the moon roof guts (the first time, the dealer said the "screws were not tightened"), and the electrical system has never been right. My 2007 Avalanche is going through 2qts of oil between oil changes, which I don't think is right. These are quality issues that don't strand somebody, but are a pain in the A$$.
I do have a 2000 Jeep Wrangler with 180,000 miles that runs sweet.

Oh boy, youre calling me Timmy just like Chris does- maybe poking the hive is deserving of being treated like an 8 year old.

I work on my own cars too, Eric- and I research the hell out of everything, especially big purchases. Ill admit that American cars have come a long ways, though Im not sure Id say theyre there yet. I do like the idea of buying American, but my money will continue to go towards the highest quality products that best suit my needs, while staying within my budget. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree!

I put a cradle in a toyota today, my thoughts are if you look under these cars you cant tell the difference, they are pretty much the same...the door was real tinny sounding though. Sorry TIM,
I go through it constantly with my family and i to once thought they were a better built car and they were, but when i corner someone and ask them why is a foriegn car better than an American car, they cant answer me. It seems the big three have some marketing problems in my eyes, but i think they are catching on with statements such as "qaulity now equal to Toyota"
as i said i dont care what someone drives and i have yet to hear someone pull me aside and say, ERIC this is why foriegn cars are better, i thiink maybe thats the point im trying to get across. plus it helps the economy and gives my fellow brothers the money to buy those 70k nautiques
