That reminds me of Michael Waltrip's horrific crash at Bristol ten years ago. It is nothing short of astounding that he was able to walk away from this wreck Dj, as what was left of the car resembled that video clip you posted.

FAWK! Looked 10 times worse than Earnhart's crash, and Waltrip walks away. Guess he had Jaysus riding shotgun that day... :biggrin:

Volvo is owned by the Chinese now, maybe some QC will rub off on the little slant-eyed bastards.

Cato is Japanese. Japan became a world economic power by selling high quality goods for a fair price. The Chinese have become a world economic power by using their cheap labor to produce Wal-Mart grade shit ultra cheap. Big difference.

Japan really made themselves in the free market. Why buy a Leica when the Nikon was less money and just as good? Why buy a Harley Davidson or Triumph when the Honda was more reliable and more advanced? Sony replaced RCA and Zenith because they offered a more advanced television for a competative price. China was built on US companies outsourcing production there and you buy an American brand name and it's made in China. Japan competed with their own brands. Name one Chinese brand that means quality. Good lucking finding one.

Hell. Even the Japanese knock off guitars of the 1970's are now becoming collector's items. Tokai and Ibanez guitars of that era were great guitars and were built better than Gibson and Fenders of the day.

This video cracks me up. My nephew is making big money in China but there are no women (one child policy inspired parents to kill the girls and keep the boys), you can't breath (horrible pollution), the cars suck, but the beer and noodles are good.

In the 1960s and 70s people said the exact same about Japan that you are now saying about China. Back then Jap cars were rust buckets and you bought Ford for quality. By the end of the 70s that all started to change and who's to say the same won't happen with China. Plus Japan is 80 million on a small island with no resources, China and India are going to be taking over. Meanwhile they look on totally puzzled while we piss away anything we had left in pointless shitholes like Afghanistan.

I bought 6 strip light capacitors a couple of weeks ago for my garage on Ebay from the cheapest supplier for about $14 with free postage.

They arrived a few days later and when I checked the package they had come by air direct from China.

They can do that and still turn a profit...

You're still obsessed even after me pointing out how it's just about the same as your sales tax.

Anyhoo there is no import duty or VAT on orders under about $25.

Comparing the Chinese to the Japanese is apples and oranges. The Japanese take pride in what they make. If it goes off the line and has their name on it, they view the product reflects them. The Chinese are opportunists who view being cleaver as an asset. Quality is dependant on who the customer is. Screwing someone over and getting away with it, is a badge of honor in China.

Many Japanese companies came in from the get go with quality. Nikon never was junk. Honda was never junk. Sony never was junk. The only junky stuff from Japan were cheap toys but much of the junky image were World War II Veterans like my uncle who still hated the Japs.

China will never do what Japan did. There might be some suppliers in China who put out some good stuff but the mass majority of the stuff with be shit and it will be shit for years to come. There will never be a Chinese car company known for it's quality. You will never see it.

I spent part of my childhood in Hong Kong. I grew up with Chinese families who had to flee the Communist takeover. The Chinese are hard workers. Always have been. They are shrewd traders and business people. The thing is the west has been building China. We buy their products and export our manufacturing to them. It's not that they are so brilliant, it's that our business leaders and politicians were dumb enough to get duped by them. My friends in Hong Kong constantly remind me we are being taken.

Go over there some time. It's not the miracle the western press makes us believe it is. What I've seen is trusted western brand names having the quality go down while the price goes up because they outsourced to China. Plus, there is danger of a workers revolt in China because the pay and conditions are so bad.

Not to mention their spoiled brat children. The one child policy has been a disaster. The parents raise one son and spoil the crap out of him. Spoiled brats don't make a great nation.

Plus, China is turning into a dust bowl due to their poor farming practices and they have polluted their water. Unless, they get their water problems sorted out, they never will be a world super power. And India? Ever been there? Try driving city to city in a car. Can you say infrastructure problem?
