We can sure try to help the others by telling it like it is.
I do all the time.
(at least those that DO care about quality)
Obviously there are a few (very few) that seem to like the CHEESY ASIAN
STUFF that they purchase. These people can not be helped. Maybe when
their wheel bearings fall apart (all but the Made In Taiwan sticker that
is) at 60 mph around a curve and they wreck their LBC, they will wake
up. Meanwhile my SAFTY and SANITY are not worth putting up with it.
So if you tell 20 LBC owners and they tell 20 LBC owners, and so on,
maybe we can change the way things are done. Maybe not but I will give
it my best. How about you?
