Actually, I'm a strawberry-blonde English/Irish/German/Cherokee decent red

No, you're being an idiot. Next you'll tell me that I don't know any
plumbers that make 80 grand a year, but I do...I'm a union plumber myself,
though still an apprentice.

coming from someone claiming dealership mechanics make $83,000 a year ill
consider the source and smile. :-)

i never said anything about plumbers so stop with the red herrings. we're
talking about dealership mechanics, most of whom are complete dumb asses who
couldnt fix anything that isnt clearly outlined in their book.

however, the licensed plumber earns a really good living. the unlicensed
plumber working under his license certainly isnt making $80k per year
either.


> I'm a union plumber myself

that explains a lot, but since this isnt about the absurdity of unions and
those who need the protection of a union because they cannot succeed on
their own work ethic and capabilities i wont get into it. :-)

Every time someone provides examples of so-called poor reliability of
American autos, they bring these 20-30-year old designs up. How about
lately? As I said before, reliability level was raised by domestic automakes
because it had to, and there is very little difference in reliability now
compared to imports. The car I ever owned (OK, leased) was a Honda that got
bought back under lemon law, but not until after a legal fight. Basically
Honda's response was "Our cars don't break like that."

There are some well-respected auto journalists who claim that since
Ford bought Jaguar/Aston Martin, the darned things don't self
destruct and puke oil all over your driveway any more. However
I still don't know of any auto journalist who rates any American
brand at the reliability levels of the Japanese. The Americans
on the way up appear to have met the Germans on the way down, with
the Koreans almost up to Japanese levels. All referring to
passenger cars of course, doubt if any of them will outlast a
Peterbilt.

That would be the NIV, I believe... Bill's Bible says:

"Do not allow a sorceress to live"

..... funny how the Bible changes, and all.... makes you wonder
who all's gotten involved with it.

So Bill, killed any Sorceresses lately?

Now we see why 'nobody can give an example'... you won't accept it!
The f*ing parrot's dead, Bill, Norwegian Blue or not... and what about
the 'soft camshafts'? Ignoring that one, eh? Think you can spin like Rove?
