You have no idea what you're talking about.radcapricorn wrote:Let me clear things up a bit then: knowingly driving an unsafe vehicle is in the same league as cooking your meatloaf or whatever when your home reeks of gas. Look, "duh, no un told me I couldn't just turn on cruz control and go sleep" is a very, very bad excuse, right there with "oh, they told me it was fine". Once again, you don't need to be an expert in everything, you just have to do that due diligence you mentioned. That's it.
If Morkonan was complaining about hairline fracture in suspension, some obscure faults in cylinders, brakes pissing fluid ever so slightly, I wouldn't even raise the objection. His complaint though is that the dealership took him for a ride, and it took years to find out, and from someone else at that. All the while it was his reponsibility to routinely check the darn things in the first place (that is, since the moment they were installed).
You did not see those tires. The only indication was a slight separation line around the entire rim of tread, so uniform and on each tire that it looked like a design feature. The treads, themselves, were fine. The tire performance was fine. They simply would not pass state inspection, end of story.
The reason people try to cheat you by relying on your trust is that it is a very successful strategy - It works.
Some of these "luminaries" go so far as to say the only campus with a future is online. Care to comment on what kind of (or utter lack of) social skills that would engender? Frankly I think it's so much hogwash covering the fact that the "new breed" just can't teach. They seem to grasp at anything that would tend to rationalize their shortfalls as being the fault of the methodology and blow off the fact that their attention spans are on a par with the students. Really I'm of the opinion that most state colleges and universities in the US have became no better than an extention of high schools. With no greater expectations for either students or faculty.
