[pianotech] just about the time

[Dean May]

Exactly, just like the Big Three have factories overseas. Toyota and Honda
likely have more American content than the Big Three. And they didn't take
the bailout. (did I already mention that?)

Aren't many Honda and Toyota made here in the....U.S.A. by American
craftsman?

Honda and Toyota are more American now than the Big Three. And they DIDN'T
take the bailout. That definitely makes them more American.

WOW. I don't want to preach here, but what happened to "Buy American". It
won't have much effect on a man my age, but you young people. Think about
your future and the future of your children. Lets get this country back on
its feet and support American industry. Buy American!

 

Sorry about that........End of rant.

Gee...I just hit 205,000 on my 2004 Honda Pilot and it looks very likely
that I'll get another 100,000. Engine purrs like a kitten and literally, no
problems whatsoever other than normal maintenance. And I bought this used
with 9,000 miles.

 This has been fully paid for 4 yrs with the hope I'll drive this for 3 more
years.

To date, I've yet to go the new car route and have never regretted the move.
But then again, I've  been sticking to  either Toyota or Hondas products for
the past 30 yrs.

Just about the time you've found a car that really suite your needs, big
industry comes along and pulls the rug out from under you.

 

As some of you know, I have been raving about my Chevy HHR. It's a wonderful
little station wagon, where the rear seats fold down, giving me a totally
hard flat surface on which I can shove in a grand action, and leave enough
room for all my tools and supplies. It's been a great little car, which I've
driven with absolutely no problems for over 100,000 miles.

 

But I am weary of the number of miles I've driven. I don't want to push my
luck. So I'm starting to think about getting a new car. My first visit was
to the Chevy dealer. I proudly told the salesman that I'm ready to buy
another HHR. Just show me one, and I'll sign on the dotted line.

 

Well, would you believe that GM, in it's infinite wisdom, has decided that
the HHR was not what enough consumers wanted, so they pulled the plug on
production with last year's model.

 

No more new 2012 HHR's, and there are no new 2011 models left anywhere on
Oahu. 

So what's a guy to do?  What other small station wagon has a flat fold down
back seat? I only want a new car. None of this use car crap. You wind up
buying someone else's problems.

 

Sign me, disgruntled, but wishing for a better world. 

 

Wim
