Hmm, toyota has been over-engineering all its components by 10% or so for 35 years, but that has only paid off in the last 10 years ?? Honestly, you don't know the first thing about why japanese cars made inroads into the US car market do you ?? In the early 1970's, there were nearly no japanese mechanics between the atlantic and pacific oceans. The cars had to be reliable AS THERE WOULD BE NO REPAIRMEN AND NO SPARE PARTS ... In the early 1980's, it was hard to find any mechanics in small towns that would work on foreign cars. -- Tom Sherman - Holstein-Friesland Bovinia Beer - It's not just for breakfast anymore! |
