And if I don't miss my bet, you're a couple of years away from your license, let alone a vehicle purchase.

You have missed my posts about my 1986 MR2 and I'm not going back there now.

Chill, mi amigo.

No, I would not appreciate it, but I wouldn't care much either.
For example, do you know who Malcom Bricklin is? In case you're not familiar, he's the guy who wanted to bring Chinese car (Cherry) to the USA. He's also guy who brought Yugo in USA in the late 1980s. So when he decided to bring Cherry to the States he spoke about Yugo. He said that people that made Yugo are un-educated and that they don't know the basics and that's the reason why Yugo failed. Yes, I was hurt because I knew that wasn't true because for me finishing 8th grade in Serbia was 10 times harder than finishing college in the USA (I'm not saying that Serbs are smarter, I'm saying that schools in Serbia are harder).
I just didn't care because I knew he was wrong and so did many other people. But I was also really happy when I heard that GM rejected his idea of Chinese car in the USA.

I know that the foreign areas, some of them have a much better education system than us, which isnt hard to do because our chooling system stinks. I do actually kinda think you are right Zoran

I got an e-mail back from Beaner (radio host on http://www.z1005.com) and they did mention it on the internet.

then. I suppose Mercedes has a lower standard? I think not. I
imagine Canada cut them a better deal and they want to make it look
like our fault.

Great job Brad Thanks for the update.

Thrust, sometimes people don't think. Maybe they thought they had something to prove and decided to say it. Believe me a comment like that will always backfire :notnice:
