Some people aren't happy unless they make everyone else miserable. Complaining about a screen name? Sheesh! Perhaps you should change it to "JustSayNoToBoardNazis".

I've driven and repaired both American and Japanese cars for over thirty years. There is really no comparison. It is obvious that the Japanese take their quality personally.

American car manufacturers have complained for years that they cannot compete because their labor costs are much higher. IMO, if they didn't have to spend so much on warranty repairs, they could actually compete.

Hey, It's a free country, and yes, I am a veteran. Just drink the kool-aid and buy that Ford.

I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE WE HAVE SNOW, SLEET, ICE, ETC. AND I REQUIRED SONW TIRES. HOWEVER, THE SNOW TIRES I INSTALLED HAVE A SOFTER RUBBER SURFACES WHCH MAKES CORNERING A BIT MORE DIFFICULT.

We can hear you okay without needing to yell.

Seriously, most people equate typing in all caps to yelling, so it's considered better form not to do it, but thanks for posting.
