The $500 Prius car key....
Has this been discussed here?
If we let car companies get away with $500 keys, then we have basically pulled our pants down to our ankles, lubed ourselves up, painted a bullseye on our asses, bent over, and are screaming, C'mon, shove it in deeper/harder.... **** Prius and their car key. My Honda **** key is $150. I put a dog chain on it, keep it around my neck, and sleep and shower with it. We are fukn assholes to tolerate bull**** like this. The Q is: What to do. -- EA |

Their cost 34.00 or so. Dealer won't cut the Retail. They don't want to sell them. They want you to buy another car. Each year the content gets cheaper but cost more. |

> The Q is: What to do. Don't buy a late-model car. They are all about the same because of the anti-theft features built in to these keys and remotes. Just wait til you lose your last key and the car has to be towed to the dealer to have it re-programmed to accept new keys !! When a Volvo owner did this in North Dakota, and the nearest dealer was hundreds of miles away, he rented a metal detector and found the key after about 3 hours of searching. |

Sorry to have to inform you that it's South Korea that makes the Hyundai, not the North. The South Koreans hate commies even more than we do. Even more strange is that the Sonata is manufactured in North America, not North Korea. Weirder still is that it's made in Montgomery Alabama - in the American South but not South America! Now that's what I call ****ed up! Ahhh just forget it - buy a Chevy instead! :-) |

There is nothing really that you can do about it except to write the manufacturers and let your dissent be heard. GM never listened in the past. Maybe the survivors have learned a little. |

Light fixtures (replacement bulbs), vacuum cleaner (bags), faucet (washers / cartridges), etc. I just bought a new computer printer. Before buying, I went and looked at the price of replacement cartridges before buying. Also made sure I could refill them myself. Then I bought the brand/model which was best in that area. Not so easy to do with a car though because there are so many parts. |

Real Good simple cars and trucks like the ones made in the 1960s and
earlier would sell like Hot Cakes nowadays.Who needs all that new fangled electronic gadgetry anyway? I Don't! When I get in my old van, all I want to do is drive from Point A to Point B, and or C and D, depending on whatever erran(s) /shopping I need to do. cuhulin |
