Building cars is about making money, not a good product.
Expensive parts are lucrative for manufacturers. Even V-belts of odd lengths. Crap.
There was a time when manufacturers made products that simply worked and parts were interchangeable between models.
No longer. It is just a scam now.
It just drives me nuts when I see people driving at dusk with parking lights on. If you want to be seen turn on your flippin’ headlights!
