i’m selling my 2003 chevrolet privately,
you wanna buy it?
Sorry, I drive an early 90’s Pontiac economy car that gets me 38 MPG on the highway (seriously), has about 200,000 miles on it, and hasn’t had a serious malfunction. When I have to replace something, which isn’t often, I use the more expensive dealer or American-made aftermarket parts. They last a really long time, and it saves me more work later on.
BTW, I agree with you on the Japanese. They typically make high quality parts, but they aren’t exactly inexpensive either. My point is you should stop bashing American-made products. As a country, we still produce a wide variety of high quality goods. That includes cars.
