  4. Well, there is SOME relationship. Some of the stuff in the post starts
    out the same as a passage in the article, but quickly diverges in a
    very amusing way. ;)

    Well, you're entitled to your opinion, but its kinda funny that at the
    same time you admit you know virtually nothing about your truck, and
    even scarier that you say you don't care.


    But I hope you're advertising your penis length correctly. (Wondering
    if Toyota and Honda have been caught in delusions they're John
    Holmes.)


    Ignoring, of course, the fact that GM and Ford do.

    Faith is an interesting thing....

    That is not how I read the article. GM and Ford are only testing new
    powerplants, for the most part, according to the article. Toyota and Honda
    tested everything.

  10. Sure does, but without salt rust just doesn't appear except on the exhaust
    system. I worked with a guy who restored old Fords (no accounting for
    taste!) in Phoenix and sold them to out-of-staters. They were all from the
    50s and 60s and didn't have a trace of body rust, which made them very
    desirable... although I never figured out the attraction for a car with
    vacuum operated wipers and four wheel drum brakes.

    The Budd Conestogas were built from *stainless* steel. And they
    were welded, not riveted.

    I have a fond memory of my father out in the pouring rain, cutting off the
    end of the vaccuum hose connected to the wipers in a 57 Ford wagon, so he
    could get them working again.

    Didn't Budd have a patent on shot welding? We have some Silverliner III
    trainsets still running around here. They're older than I am.

    I lived in the SF bay area for 9 years. For the most part, cars with rust
    were from out of state....like the one I brought in from NJ........
