I for one am glad that Ricatic keeps talking about this as even though the chances of having it happen is low, I would flip out is my "New" Truck had a repair bill that high that I had to pay out of pocket.
Everything that is built can fail and I do not care who builds it. All of this bickering is nuts. If someone does not agree with what is posted just state your mind and move on with life.
In all my years of driving I have owned some great Cars and Trucks but I have also owned some real P.O.S.'s, and I have owned cars / trucks from all of the Big 3.
Sometimes I get tired of reading posts on this forum because of all of the Keyboard Cowboys that think that their opinion is the only opinion and will never back off. It makes me wonder how we get any new members to come here and stay after one or two posts after getting jumped on by a "Senior" Member (as if that title means a darn thing).
So, I hope that Ricatic keeps posting if for no other reason than it drives some members nuts just to see his name.
