We work as a team, but he is a bit better at it than myself.
You should see us "argue"....it's quite amusing to see the newbs try to battle when they don't even know what side we are on.

oh ive been there a few times before lol

has anyone here worked in a fastener plant that ships fasteners to automotive companies?

i have for 3 years and about 75 percent of our automotive fasteners(that we supply to gm and ford) we buy from taiwan and then ship them to automotive companies that are "made in america"

so at least a couple million dollars a year for fastners that the american car company is paying to us is going to taiwan. and thats just the small fraction that we supply to those plants. im sure the vast majority of fastener companies across the US do the same thing.

so no matter what that "made in america" vehicle really isnt entirely made in america.

i wonder how many other automotive parts are made overseas........

Chrystler was bought from Daimler, by a hedge fund name Cerebrus.

As for the bolded part...

American cars are equated with cheap parts. They make break twice as quickly but cost 1/3.

mercedez bought chrysler for their technology. chrysler always comes up with pretty cool shit.

so the plan was to buy chrylser (which happened), get the technology, and now benz is trying to sell chrysler again (which they are having a ***** of a time. seem they cant make the price low enough). the merge served no other real purpose despite what they say.

they may cost a little more but honestly i think you get what you pay for. id much rather pay 15k for my fully loaded honda civic and know that in 3-5 years if i want to trade it in or sell it im going to get more for it.

my girlfriend had a 02 sunfire. thing looked like she just took it out of the showroom, and had just 33k miles. i had an 01 honda civic, couple dents, 2 rust spots, shitty lowering job, rode terrible, interior stained, 89k miles. we were both trading in at the same time. she got offers of 2500-4000 from about 7 dealerships she took it too. the 4k offer was from the dealership she worked at. i did the same and got offers of 5500-7800.

based on resale value and the fact that i beat the hell out of my old civic without 1 issue is what has me sold on honda/acura.

i will give props to my 1996 ***** am lt1 i had though. awesome car and with 110k miles on it still ran like new. sold it to a friend and by 115k it was hurting a little but nothing major. i miss that car.

Resale value doesn't mean anything to me except for insurance purposes. I wouldn't buy a vehicle I wouldn't want to keep 20 years or so.
