I read it too, but because I have to. In order to be armed with the junk.
I want to know why you can get the invoice price on a car, but not a
dishwasher? How about clothes. Hey, I want to know what the grocer pays
for a gallon of bleach. That way I can tell them I want to pay 5 cents over
invoice for his gallon of bleach. It just pisses me off. Do you know that
they rate the Mercury Sable as a more reliable car than the Ford Taurus?
Beats me. Same factory, same parts, same engine, same company! Their
reliability info comes from reader surveys. Seems pretty obvious to me that
the Taurus is sold to younger people, with families who pay less attention
to upkeep and maintenance than the older demographic that buys the Sable.
CR however can't seem to figure that out. Flame Suit On.
