    There's nothing rational here...... the big corporations do what they want. If it ain't their idea and doesn't help their stock price.... they don't want to hear it.

    No corporation made that driver leave his brain at home that day and forget to push the latch down.

    So was our fifth wheels. And they work great. Newer and more expensive does not equal better or safer.

    Back in 08 people just want change just for changes sake. I started asking about the leaky boat . CHANGE , let's blast a hole in the bottom of the boat with this shotgun to let the water out! That is change, not very bright , but it's change. Certain people did not like me ... Too bad.
     
    Bean Jr., Oxbow and cnsper Thank this.
