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.

Tell me about it, I may as well have been driving a space ship.
