Ford & GM are now outselling the ricer cars !!!!

[Bill Bess]

Hopefully more Americans are becomig Patriots and supporting our home built and home owned companies. I understand that many Americans work in assembly plants making the ricers, but wouldn't it be great if they were building American cars, trucks and motorcycles.
Screw the ricers!

And to top off the Toyota recall for sticking accelerators, yesterday I saw in the news that their hybrid car now has sticking brakes and they have to look into that. Maybe combine the two and the speeding up could overcome the stops.

the sticking brakes were developed to cancel out the sticking gas pedal

You can always look at this site or do a google search first, that's how some of us support U.S. manufactured goods.

No cameras,no stereo gear and no Televisions.

CTS of Elkhart, Indiana is this US company, but they're making them to Toyota's engineering specs.

I have no clue what's defective at the moment. I heard software, floor mats and the thingee made by CTS. Something is bad, no disagreement there, but what?

I can help you out with the receiver, Sunfire or McIntosh. The japs got 'nuttin on Bob Carver. The McIntosh will give at least 30yrs. service.

If you think the Japanese are immune to the same arrogance and indifference to the customer that plaged the US corps. take a good look at Japan Airways and Sony. (among others)

I've seen the problem with the defective gas pedal, it's a design problem. The concept of the friction block is wreckless and stupid. It's only purpose was for "feel", a stiffer or extra return spring would have worked better. Never, ever, ever delay throttle closure.
