Get Rich

Q: perhaps you think that is a real pounding but reality tells me that use in the states can be very harsh to a car that isnt designed here in the states. lol. yes you find it funny i find it sad. in general an asian designed vehicle will last maybe five years without major needs. used to be that inside of three years an asian made vehicle would rust badly which is to say holes through the metal. perhaps now that they are built here that is solved. european vehicles fare a bit better but by seven years can become cantankerous if not costly to maintain due to nickel and dime stuff that costs ten times as much because its euro design. yeah right! i weigh 300lbs and have never had a problem. i have never even heard of problems with cars due to weight of cargo although i do know of one ford mondeo that has settled on its springs a bit after 200000 miles. a new set of springs would see it back as new. well then you must be fairly ignorant on load capacity of vehicles. so you are saying now that it is easier on the car in the states. certainly long distances are infinitely easier than the narrow twisty lanes we have in europe although our freeways generally have average speeds of 80mph or so. no long distances are not easier. quite the opposite they create another type of hazard to longevity that of heat and wear. thus our larger engines tend to do better than the smaller engines from elsewhere. your freeways are driven at like speeds to ours. this is not to say that our vehicles are better or worse than any other simply that design follows use. thus cars designed in the country where the designer uses them will fare better in that country. still easier on a car. in africa half the distances would be on unmetalled roads and similarly in india and pakistan. have you watched the and seen what driving conditions are like there have you seen where we drive here i guarantee imports wont survive the same type of road here in the states. i know because weve done our share of driving other stuff and it just doesnt do as well as american iron when it comes to rough roads. i see far more 1980s chrysler 2.2 powered stuff than i do any other makers 1980s vintage stuff. a rough second place would be chevy cavaliers. the only other that would place would be the toyota 22r engine mostly in celicas. however lately those are rare too. too bad i actually liked those. add to this that our fuel has traditionally been cheaper and you have yet another reason we drive a lot. i fail to see how driving a lot is relevant except that you do fewer cold starts per mile. 200000 miles is the same distance wherever you are. you cast aside how many vehicles it takes to go that distance let alone which ones actually make it that far. half ton eh i dont think there are many pick-ups sold in europe with a payload of less than a ton but there you go. most of your pick-ups seem to carry not a lot more than fishing tackle. i dont think there are many pickups sold in europe but feel free to cite proven statistics. in the states a pickup isnt built above the one ton level. ill bet its the same in europe. -- max there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author max dodge wrote curious then that where cars do take a real pouding such as in india the locally made padmini is a fiat dericative and in many middle eastern and african countries that peugeots stand up well to the task. perhaps you think that is a real pounding but reality tells me that use in the states can be very harsh to a car that isnt designed here in the states. lol. like it or not each region has its own design characteristics. stuff designed outside the states tends to be less than up to the task here in the states. i hate to say it but americans in general tend to be heavier than other humans. thus cars take more abuse. yeah right! i weigh 300lbs and have never had a problem. i have never even heard of problems with cars due to weight of cargo although i do know of one ford mondeo that has settled on its springs a bit after 200000 miles. a new set of springs would see it back as new. part of that is because we drive longer distances as we dont have the rail system nor the same lifestyle as europe or the middle east. so you are saying now that it is easier on the car in the states. certainly long distances are infinitely easier than the narrow twisty lanes we have in europe although our freeways generally have average speeds of 80mph or so. another factor in those distances is the fact that we dont have restrictive borders as frequently as other regions do thus we drive farther more frequently. still easier on a car. in africa half the distances would be on unmetalled roads and similarly in india and pakistan. have you watched the and seen what driving co
