<DIV><FONT face=Arial>In line with one of your points: I just bought a new

would have done so, in spite of the price difference, ($60 vice $134.)
Difference would have been worth it, but I needed to get the brakes fixed
pronto. Hope the thing works O.K.--brakes are too important to take
lightly. At the first hint of trouble, off it comes and into the trash
bin, and on goes a Bendix.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Popular conception of the average autoworker that helps foster the notion
the original US car manufacturers sell over priced, inferior products because of
organized labor. I personally do not favor unions but saw their need first hand.
I spent 3 1/2 years with GM in Tarrytown NY, 2 weeks on the assembly line and
the rest of the time in skilled trades with a short stint as a per diem
supervisor. The press failed to mention when publicizing UAW wages that
typically a "line person" was working 46 to 54 hours a week and the press
included health and pension benefits into their hourly wage numbers. Add up your
salary and all benefits and break it down by hour, I think you will be
surprised. Fact is very few could do what autoworkers do in a typical day,
hang 600 or so fenders, bumpers, doors, paint and lay lead in full jump
suits with respirators ( 50's through 80's ). It is hard, boring and tedious
work. But many of those people put their sons and daughters through college so
they might have a better life. They were a huge part of the middle class,
which by the way pays the freight in this country and far too
many send their sons and daughters overseas to push questionable
political agendas. During my tenure with GM I saw 3 deaths and countless
serious injuries. For sure, there were abuses on both sides, union and
management. However, the UAW did not make the decision to put all their eggs in
one basket pushing low mpg SUV's in a world of $60 + barrel of oil costs. The
major blame of the original US automakers current blight can be laid at
managements doorstep, adopting pay later schemes to pay for benefits and paying
executives as much as 500 times what employees make. The totally out of control
health care costs in this country threaten to bankrupt everyone if left
unchecked. In fact many big US companies in general suffer the same
business model, pay later and pay way to much to the decision makers for making
questionable long term decisions. Not everyone can be a rocket scientist, doctor
or Bill Gates. I'll continue to purchase US made products when available and
that's the real crime, often their is no US made alternative. If my recent
experience with overseas built junk LCD TV's is any indication, we all
soon will wish we didn't export the middle class. You get exactly what you
pay for, never more. </DIV>

<DIV>I may P.O. some people, but I firmly believe that the industry's main
problem is the Unions. I remember growing up in the 50's and 60's. There were
strikes nearly every other year with the Unions DEMANDING greater and greater
benefits, now we are all paying for them. One is early retirements with life
time guaranteed medical benefits, with NO contribution from the workers,
another was paying some HS drop out 3 times the minimum wage just to but lug
nuts on the cars.</DIV>

companies produce as good if not better vehicles than their overseas

There used to be a saying "as GM goes so does the USA". Many
