Hantime, you know just as well as I do that the Germans make the best pink leather g-strings, and that the French make the cutest hard metal studs to place on the inside

You ask the impossible.

Warren Buffet is one of the biggest shareholder of Gillete. Shick was recently sold by Pfizier the drug company to Energiser the battery company. The worlds razor market is controlled by the US.

Unless you consider Bic razors a real razor. Bic is to razors what France is to world diplomacy. An inferior product and about as significant as a pimple on an elephants butt.

huh, I sold my VW diesel Golf ('Rabbit') at 325,000 miles, still going (but looking a bit shabby since i hadn't washed it for 2 years.)

I bought it at 160,000 and only ever changed oil/filter every 3 months.

The most reliable car I've had, by far.

better take a pick of that rabbit then!!,,lol, i had 2 freinds who had 5 rabbit diesels,,one they got brand new,,and they would blow up all the damn time,,water pump goes first,,and its a pain to stick back on,,,and a bullcrap because the water pump is part of the timing on them,,and if you put it back in wrong your car wont start,,lol,,,you got lucky,,,i have works on rabbit diesels,,and i dont like them at all,,,and i know there all but gone from american roads,,lol,,i see way more pinto's that rabbits..and pinto's are older,,lol want to talk about anothere lemon,,the fiat!! omg!! have to pull the motor on them just to change the oil! i work on a lot of cars,,,and if anyone ask me to work on a rabbit diesel or fiat,,i tell them were to put that poor car,,lol

you had a good one,,but your one of the only ones i have seen with good luck with a rabbit,,lol like i said i worked on them before,,i guess you never had to put a rench to yours besides oil change,,,im surpized,,you got lucky,,and a good car,,,should of took a pick of the milage,,because its allmost hard to beleve after the crap i seen,,lol

VW Golfs are the epitomy of reliability. You must have some exceptionally unlucky friends. Never ask them to pick lottery numbers.

hyena426 · « **Reply #58 on:** February 13, 2003, 01:18:45 PM »

naw,,i seen too many of them broke down on the freeway,,not just my freinds,,and not just my freinds have ask me to work on them before,,i speak from experience on this matter,,lol

Dowding · « **Reply #59 on:** February 13, 2003, 01:25:17 PM »

I think we probably have more VW Golfs over here than US. And I'm telling you, they have a great reliability record.
