    Yea I talked to my service guy today and he said he has seen them before. With heavy use the motor will blow in about 3 month. Quote "Its a wannabe Honda"

    I must have a good one then cause my wannabe honda has run hard for 4 to 6 hours a day 5 days a week for 8 to 10 months now. I think the saying you get what you pay for came from people who need to justify the exorbitant price they paid for whatever they bought.............makes em feel good.

    I agree with the OP, Ive seen first hand of what he speaks. Teach the lowballers the secrets of the trade, they dont have to spend countless hours and dollars trying the things that dont work. Then they come to your back door bid on jobs you are at 2/3s the price. Sometimes they even have the balls to call you up to ask what would you bid? Not knowing hes bidding the same job you are.

    Unless I know you, you will only get misdirection and BS from me.

    I didnt read this whole thread so if its a repeat Im sorry. I was behind a pickup the other day that was obviously being used to move, had a mattress a gray couch and a bunch of other stuff in it. I got in the lane next to it and saw the reason the couch was gray. COMPLETLY UPHOLSTERD IN DUCT TAPE! It actually didnt look that bad, none of it was peeling. I looked over when I pulled up next to the cab, young guy, maybe 20. Reminded me of my first place with lawn chairs, intertubes for furniture, cinder blocks and 2X4s for an entertainment center to support my 13" B/W TV and $1200 stereo with 4 foot high speakers.

    And thats my point. The government is WAY TOO HUGH, they have WAY to much power not afforded them by the constitution. They have figured out that the citizenry will vote for the ones that will give THEM the most. Look who just got voted in, people are dancing in the streets cause they no longer have to worry about their mortgage or credit cards or car notes. Many of the founding fathers views on general welfare was basically to promote commerce, with strong commerce people will prosper.

    "promote the general welfare". And just what do you take that to mean?

    I can tell you what it doesnt mean. I doesnt mean to take care of every citizens (and now illegals) every need no matter what from cradle to grave.

    James Madison must have had a crystal ball because this is exaclty what is happening now.

    If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the general welfare, the government is no longer a limited one

    And I gotta tell ya, our founders were absolutely brilliant. Read it carefully, this ONE sentence pretty much sums it up.

    We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

    I had to go through some tough times several years ago when my wonderful spouse left me with everything (bless her heart) cept her income which was half of the family income. This was after getting several pay and benifit cuts where I was employed. I suppose I could have just done like the government does and stick a gun to my employers head and demand more money, I took a different approach. I cut big time, sold a big chunk of everything I owned, learned how to cook for me and my boys, quit going out, bought generic, sewed the button back on the pants. If I can do it theres no reason my employee (government) couldnt or shouldnt.

    Ok lets start with education. I say cut it 100%. The US has some of the worst schools in the world yet it has some of the best private schools. Cut road and bridge maintenance? Who do you think does it now? The government merely funds it, and we all know how good they are with money. There is very little the government has its hands in that it doesnt screw up. They should stick to what the constitution says they should do and nothing else.

    Well, although I do think you should pay your parket tickets, I DO NOT agree with this National Drivers License crap...Whatever happened to states rights?

    States rights went out the door with the 17th amendment, yet another amendment Id like to see repealed.
