I hate mud holes, but I like when mud makes obstacles more challenging, if that makes sense. I get the "do you go mudding" alot

Did you find him ? The guy who stole your doors ?

You must have lost the race. They blew the doors right off !

Is that legal ?

Why do you take the doors off your suv? Can that thing even go off road? It's not a wrangler ( little 19 yr old chick at my work ) jaw dropped fuming

It's not a completely unreasonable line of logic. Indeed thanks to duty and import tarrifs most 'imports' are actually built here. However you pay for quality with a Honda Civic; they're the most reliable sedan out there. With an American car your money gets you interest owed on debts thanks to mismanagement, litigation because your neighbors and government keep suing them (remember all costs are passed on to the consumer - who do you think is going to pay for all the hitches installed on ZJs?), and massive union costs for people who think they should get $50/hr to drive a single screw and 30-year pensions.

(exaggerating obviously but you get the point)
