Let's say you have two parts that move against each other.<br /><br />Americans: Make one part of very good steel, the other of inferior (cheap) steel, but make it easy to replace, to every 25K miles you have a $600 repair.<br /><br />Japanese: Make both parts of very good steel, so they last 100K miles but then you have a $3,500 repair.<br /><br />German: Same function is performed with 17 parts, in a mix of steel, plastic, titanium and unobtainium, none of which are available separately.<br /><br />British: The parts will never wear out because the car won't start when it's raining.<br /><br />Italian: Screw it, paint the car red and put a beautiful woman in the passenger seat.<br /><br />Mark DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-1905268507660991962017-07-10T08:38:35.161-05:002017-07-10T08:38:35.161-05:00The vehicle is superfluous.
