So anyone want to buy Chysler ? Hear the Germans are giving up on it.

Sorry, but in the 80s and 90s Japan cars were not jap crap.. Do you have documentation of this statement? Even JD Edwards and the Books/magazines I have from that era praised the japanese cars...


Please post link where you find this fact. I would be interested to read it.. I thought "jap" cars from the 80's and 90's were the ones still running with little repair and maintainance...

Read It Correctly

I said they were "often called Jap Crap". I bought what others called Jap Crap.
I rode my Honda by many a broke down Harley.

And....No I dont have issues of JD Powers from the 70's to back up why many used the term "Jap Crap".

I have a Honda ST1100, Civic, SnowBlower, Outboard and Lawnmower.
Oh, and a Honda XL250 made in 1973.

also YASSHI you quoted me out of context about me calling Mercedes Flawless. Not even Close to what I said. I said My Mercedes ML320 TRANSMISSION has been flawless in 130,000 miles on original fluid.
My words are being all twisted up YASSHI, you are a guy arent you ?
