Just thinking out loud here...

How long does it take to build/assemble a car in a modern factory? Less than an hour? How long does it take to design a car? Several years? How many foriegn car companies have their engineering people employed here in the states? None, unless I'm mistaking. And the qty of man hours (and size of salary) for design is much higher than assembly. Kinda makes the foreign assembly plants on US soil thing look like a marketing gimmick...

People always focus on the blue collar jobs leaving the country which is fine, but at the same time no one expects foriegn companies to bring their white collar jobs over here. Kinda weird if you ask me. To be fair, people do complain about white collar jobs leaving the country too, just not in connection with the auto industry (not that I've heard, anyway).

Ever have a servo take a shit?

Toyota and many others use servos to control the throttle.

This is gonna be a big one when it hits the fan.

I forgot all cars. My next one would be this red european machine with a little horse on it.

Looks like a Russian made Fiat to me I wonder what the horse power rating on this one 60 Hp + 1

They should quit putting Hitec HS-81 as a throttle servo then they'll have no problems what so ever...

the other problem is the union mentality that just can't work here anymore. The foreign run plants here in the US don't need a union and somehow the workers are still happy. Gone are the days of finding a job with a high school education making $27+ /hour with full bennies and 4+ weeks of paid vacation. They just don't exsist. At least not around here. Yet the workers here in the US just seem to think they deserve that kind of income and don't seem to realize just how lucky they are until they loose their job. The only big "plant" around here that does pay this kind of wage is GE. My father in law just retired from there-(makes as much as me from his pension) he has told me (along with other GE workers I know) that most of the guys work harder at blowing off / finding places to nap, punching in their buddies time card when they're not even at work, etc, etc, than if they would just do their job.
Then they go on strike because of some bullshit about making even more money and time off (you get paid to strike too)
I don't know, guess I'm just jealous. But at least I can sleep at night (not at work) knowing that I work for a really cool guy that works just as hard (actually harder) as me at his own business. There are 4 of us, and we rely heavily on each other to get the days work done. And we do. For a fair wage in this area. I'm not rich but I'm not poor.
Do I think that ALL automotive ceo's are also grossly overpaid for what they do?- yes- from all nations. Do they deserve to be let go when they fuck up?- yes- from all nations. Is that what happens? NO!


whatever


I'm done ranting, thanks for letting me.

south end, in the projects. 1 block away from channellock. heard that loud ass drop forge 24-7 . bam bam bam , repeat.

serves the fuckers right that buy import cars.

what about your import toy four strokes.

since there are zero 4 strokes made here i didnt put anyone out of a job.

If you want to keep americans employed, there is only one manufacturer left that I know of that still makes model engines HERE in the USA. Please correct me if Im wrong as I probably am having been out of the hobbie for a while. But last I knew Fox was the last major manufacturer left standing. Was at the time why I flew no other brand of engine. Ive lost family in ALL 3 major wars even though they still try to call the last one a police action. B.S.

I find it funny how popular in this country it is to beat a weak(illigal immigrants that earn their money hard), while CEOs of the BIG companies fill their pockets with a tax payers money(probably thinking that they are "tax payer" too after all) and hardly anyone "taking on them" or talks about...

If company "went under" what tax payer "sponsored" "golden parashoot" you are talking about and why?

I dont care one way or the other if a guy is smart and can run a big company well then he should be paid well. Now if hr's dishonest and does things illigally or immorally just to line his own pockets. Then he needs to be sent to a "Work Farm" where they do all the jobs the illigal immigrants would then "Used to do". All part of the "Nutz" Master plan to do away with stupidity and govmnt coruption. Ask me what I think they should do to the driving educatiuon and law enforcment systems. HaHaHaHa!

Yet, another "paradox" that I've see is to "take on" humble and practicle Toyota, "branding" it as a build by "people who brought a Pearl Harbor"(which is arguable), but nobody talks about companies that was a back bone of Nazi war machine and started WWII Mercedes-Benz for example, engines that powered everything from Tiger tanks to a leader of the Third Reich personal vehicle, from torpedo boats to submarine, as well as most famous fighter aircraft like Bf-109 and Bf-110.

So why nobody points finger at the "rich man's" car...

[3dRookie]

Anyway, I am going to go back to building my American designed And manufactured plane that i am going to to Power with a Japanese designed and manufactured engine and control with a South Korean designed and manufactured Radio control system That i will transport to the field in an American named, European designed, Mexican built car

Possibly the best quote of this whole shitstorm!

Way to go Ocho!!!

You either dont know or dont spend any time around any Jewish people. My uncle will not buy anything Benz! And is quick to bring up just the point you made. Lots of people do! Just not as publicly as you might like. LOL!

[BlockBuster]

How would you know? More US soldier died in WWII from Benz powered weapons then GIs in a whole Pacific Ocean theatre...

I was being funny! You know HaHaHa LOL Funny!
And for the record I drive a car that was 100% made in the USA! 1968 Plymouth VIP. Actually a pretty rare car. From what I can find out about it only aroun 3700 of them built that year and were only avail for like 5 years. I drug it out of a horse pasture and built a new engine for it and now Im in the process of doing the body work. Then I gat to do the susp/brake upgrades. Its a process. But better than spending $10000 on the same car 250000 other people have and only get a choice of like 5 or 10 colors and a few options. PULLEASE! I want my car to reflect who I am, a little rough but truly Kick Ass in all the areas that count!
Also I used to be of the BUY AMERICAN movement, but then I came to the conclusion that that just is not posible. Ther are to many things we need and want just in the hobbie! There is no way a lot of us could afford it without the offshore manufacturing. I dont condone it, but I dont exactly not condone it either. Jeez my granddad would be pissed at me fer sayin that. Oh well he also started a fight with mom just cuz my little brothers freind looked like a Hitler Youth. At least Papa thought so, old people can be scary! I hope I fare better as Im not that far from getting old myself! Yipes!

Holy Shit,

All of this because of a bum servo....with goo ?

This sounds like a Wulf Thread now.
