all set for 5 years...????

ROTFLMAO

3.....tops...

if you buy the expensive, er, i mean extended warranty... then you will have something to really grump about... cheaper to buy and throw.. after all, we must keep the chinese busy making and sending us more crap.

this country makes less than 10% of what it consumes... we are past doomed, we are already in the cesspool of former greatness...buy the cheapest, toss and replace as needed.

you have seen the best of it, all that is left, is the rest of it.

So...how is ya?

Thumbs down car parts are the same way

last week the catalytic converter lets go on the wife's bommer
(kiss 300 $clams goodbye)

i won't use the actual "B" word used here to describe a particular style of lure because then my ip addy gets loaded into a "check for details" file down at the pent - a - gone

this week: it's my starter motor that's gone ca-put...
on my car (estimate ->200 clams)

hey! they're supposed to last the life of the dammed car
and they aint dead yet...
but wait a minute: this is replacement number 4
on both vehicles ........for these parts...

But that is the whole trap: the best quality part is the original even though that's a piece of sh*t and won't last but the aftermarket parts are even worse so you are now in a spiral of constant replacement.

Maybe that is why the lease market got established: hold a car for 2 years and dump it? I generally buy & hold vehicles at least 8 yrs but am not heavy on the mileage either. Last vehicle bought (Tundra) was one of those 2yr olds just off lease...sweet conditioned vehicle, 24K miles, still under warranty, and mostly depreciated.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
