    That's not a surprise. The Japanese take pride in their work. It is a matter of honor for them.

    But if you buy a queer ### Jeep you can line the dash with Chinese rubber ducks like an effing child.

    I remember when Jeep didn’t need rubber ducks to sell a product. The product sold itself on its own merits!

    Check this out............
    A record number of Americans are grappling with $1,000 car payments and many drivers can't keep pace. Here are 4 ways to stay ahead (msn.com)

    With a record 17.5% of American consumers paying at least $1,000 a month for their cars, it's no surprise that drivers are starting to fall behind on their bills.

    So, I'm starting to think it's not the fault of the dealers or manufactures, it's the stupid people we're forced to live among. $1,000 a month for a car? My last revenue producing truck was $1,200.

    i feel/think it's "showing off" to the neighbors and maybe family that they have such an expensive car, truck, or SUV...

    so if this is true..??

    then they deserve a quick trip to bankruptcy
