Honda Car Forum

What's stopping me..?? Try putting 4 kids through college and have fun at
the same time. In a few years, God willing, I hope to start having fun
again.
But, on the other hand, each time you come home and your wife cooks a bad
meal, do you run out to a restaurant, suffer in silence, or do you tell her
in a loving way that she missed the mark that day? American car consumers
fall into the three categories above. Some allow one screw up, or none at
all. The die hard suffer in silence until they explode. The loving ones tell
you only so many times that you have missed the mark before they file for a
divorce. In complaining we are telling the Big 3 about them missing the
mark. Now I/we are filing for a divorce. Only the Dollars walking
away,waving goodbye they seem to respect and pay attention
to.......$$$$$$$$$$
