Indy no problem this is a forum isnt it.Again if Iam looking at an avalon at 400 a month for 4 years or the aurora for 200 a month for 2 years I have to go for the price and the styleing of the aurora. I was wondering what is a time-sert I have worked with all kinds of alum. in the aerospace industry for over 30 years there are ways to fix bad and stripped threads in all materials. If you can R & R the heads yourself then maybe we can come up with a real fix for the head bolt problem let me know. As far as american quality goes well I have to agree with you that for the most part it has gone to hell, most employees dont care anymore and companies dont take care of the employee they take advantage of them.In my eyes why should a manager of people make millions with bonuses and stock options on top while the workers live week to week barely able to pay for health insurance but I wont go there could be days before I stop.Indy you have to love the high desert wife and I were both born and raised in so cal. lived in Hesperia for several years. Now living in Georgia what the hell happened here! 2 more years and our son will be out of High School and we will be back out west out of the humidity.
Have a Good Day everyone
