-> On this last bit I agree and disagree. Even though the Japanese cars are
-> more reliable they also offer MUCH LESS crash safety. That is why I buy
-> full size and PUs.

 I realize soem Rednekc IDIOT could run over me at any time i nhis Super
Truck. but since I am fully retired and don't commute ant more the risk
is greatly reduces. In addition I have the Advantage of at least Twice
the fuel Miledge then those Tanks soem drive. And with the Gasoline
Prices in my area being the HIGHEST in the contigious US States I have
saved I don't know how much money.
                                  
As they say to pays yuor money and takes your Chances.
I feel I have fairly beat the odds though having bought my First Small
car, a 1960 Ford Falcon(a REAL tin Can of a car). That is coming up on
45 years this year. 
I also saved TONS of maney by Studding the Consumer Report "WORST used
car Buys" and picking my next one form that list. You REALLY save money
by doing that. One example after the incident of the Audi 5000 cars
being "Posesed" and accellerating out of control(Really a JOKE as the
car didn't hardly have enough power to get out of the way of it's own
smoke) and jumping into swimming pools anbd pinning peopel against
gareage walls. 
Well that REALLY drove the price way down in a somewhat fine
automobile. I ran into the ground Two of those.
