    The best advice I have ever heard:... Only take B( . Y . )ST advice from someone that is CURRENTLY running a turbo setup close to, or bigger than what you want......

    that was really hard to read. Him buying a tundra just goes to show he has no loyality to our nation. Ive never seen a well built foreign pos. They do however cover up their shawty work with different type of plastic interiors. Their frames and etc are just pure garbage. American IRON and STEEL is much stronger.

    fact is bleeding hearts killed our strenght the day they shut the mills down.

    yea i kno
    the lady that cuts my hair was in the hospital for about 6 months because she was in a car accident with her tundra she showed me the truck and the truk was split in diff sections she even says she doesnt know how she survived that she's currently filing a lawsuit against Toyota


    oh n yes if Texas wanted we could be our own country we dont need none of the other states to survive we have our own power grid,ship channels, and just over all resources we are in a better economical state than any other state in the US bcuz we Texans can support ourselves no matter what jiffy comes our way

    I see no point on paying some union schmuck 6 figures. I buy a car to pay for the product and to allow the company to make more. Approx $1500 for every vehicle sold goes to worker health care(just an average). That doesnt help either. Foreign companies dont worry about this and can therefore build cars of equal quality at a significantly lower price. But no sense in arguing whose fault it is or who did what. The government will do what it wants and the big corporations will do what they want. Its frustrating.

    I'm not saying all union people are lazy I'm saying the union idea is made out of laziness. Yes, there are many trades I depend on unions for and they all overpriced by 2345&#37; of what they would cost if the market was free.

    Chapter 11 bankruptcy is what they filed for, Chapter 11 makes it legal for GM to make all contracts null and void. Guess what happens to the union?

    That would be in GM's best interest if it were gone... could get serious and sell some cars/trucks now! Move all production to ''free to work'' states and never look back!!!!
