You can reject all you want.......You are not relevant to this conversation 55 years of automotive experience tells me everything I need to know. These things are rust pigs

I don't believe that either. 55 years, you ought to well remember the Chryslers and 1970s Datsuns... Well, how about some photos of your rust bucket, maybe then you'll garner some credibility?

I don't have rot on my vehicles and they are from Idaho, Wisconsin and West Virginia.

I get your disappointment icky. You're over reacting IMO. Rare for a frame to rust through.

I compare my truck to any of the Subaru or Toyota vehicles I have/had. At 10-13 years old the undercarriage and suspension components still look like new. On my GM truck the brake lines will have had to be replaced already and God help you if you need to replace any suspension components. It has been mentioned MANY times how the trucks are showing undercarriage rust while still on the dealer lot.

I don't need any credibility from you or anyone else. No rot on your vehicles? Must be that magic fairy dust you use on yours.

Credibility isn't from HIM nor is it about HIM. Your claim. Photos is what he asked for. He want's to see what your concern is. And now so do I.

No fairy dust, just soap and water. Where's the photos of your vehicle's rusty, rotten, undercarriage?

The whiners persist. I understand the disappointment about things but nothing is perfect and we all know the vehicles of today are way more complicated. Some of the gripes are petty to me.

I say again, reliability is my goal. Overall all of my vehicles have been reliable. No magic dust. Maintenance above the normal manual schedule and no abuse.

I knew it, I was right, you're bearing false witness. Who do you work for, Lada?
