That's a super-stupid recall. Geeze, ANY engine could catch fire if you drip oil on the manifold. It's not likely. More likely it'll just evaporate in a wisp of blue smoke.
 
yeah, I'd think you'd have to have a very hot manifold and a lot of oil spill on it to catch fire. They must have a good reason for the recall, as recalling 1.4 million vehicles is not small potatoes.

>cross a picket line and if you did you would end up floating face down in some river.
Agreed. Most unions will do that and that is called being a gangster, not a worker. This is probably the biggest reason I hate the labor unions. They simply go for the kill if you cross them.
 
>The company owner would of never paid the rent or mortgage without the people under he/she. It's called a balance of power.
Own a business first Rocky and then talk about balance of power.....It is not easy to be a business owner. Machining a job to 10 microns might be easier.

Hmmm...

more Hmmmmmm...
 
Does somebody over here feel Rocky somehow is lacking the information that Acura is Honda?

That's for sure. A friend of mine owns a small machine shop with about 30 employees. He's pretty much crapping bricks right now with slow business and his bank lowering his credit line. The few jobs he's getting are taking a long time to get paid and he's borrowing money to make payroll. He doesn't want to let anyone go. Not all company owners are out to screw their employees.

Super Bowl 40, played in Detroit, on February 5, 2006. Biggest crappily-reffed-to-gain-illegal-winning's game in Super Bowl history. The Seahawks were easily the better team, were dominating everybody they played at that time, and Rothelschild, smily round-faced Hines Ward and all lapped that stuff up like it was Jim Beam at a neighborhood AA meeting. In case you're wondering why I respond like that about this game Super Bowl 40, it's because the ref's did everything they could to help the Stealers steal the game unethically. Guess what?
 
They got their kick-back! Stealers 21, Seahawks 10. The Stealers are the biggest bunch of dorks in sports, it would take a butt-load of illegal betting and buy-off-able ref's to help them win a Super Bowl caliber game. Funny thing what money, power and greed can combine to give you, huh?

It doesn't matter if it was 20 years old as long as it fit his agenda.
 
Well since you claim GM cars that aren't even out yet are better than the competition, then I can certainly go back 4 years for a comparo!

In August 2007 the government recalled 20,594 Buick Rendezvous, Chevrolet Venture, Pontiac Aztec and Montana, all from the 2002 to 2004 model years because the fuel tank check valve could fracture, presenting a fire hazard.
 
Oh, c'mon! Any car can have a few drops of gasoline leak. Usually it just evaporates harmlessly! I'm sure Hondas and Toyotas do that too.
