I can change all the factory light bulbs on my Blazer without a single tool. So there. lol

That "over engineering" thing y'all complain about is generally why they take a lot longer to get the squeaks and rattles that most domestic vehicles get within the first 3 months

There's quite a few European vehicles I'd love to have... But Canada is stupid and won't let me import anything RHD unless it's 15 years or older

A Noble M15 would look good sitting beside my Blazer in the driveway

except for the tail lights. lol

Also my friend has a 74 Porsche 914 that we have been working on for a while now and its a pain to do anything on it. Its like they didnt think things through when designing it. They came up with an idea and built it.

I apparently only thought I wrote the "on the front of my truck" part

German's build/design things because they don't think they're going to break...

We build 'em 'cuz we know they will!
