That is the same answer that the Chrysler guys are thinking: $cerw'em if they don't like us.

I am sorry you think that my post was about Chrysler Corporation or Daimler Benz alone, you have missed the big point, for your own pre-concieved idea. I understand how you feel, because you probably think that History was a subject in High School that you hated and never want to hear again. After all you were only 5 years old when all this happened.
Even though my post may not portray Chrysler or Daimler Benz in a good light, IT IS THE TRUTH, and as Jack Nicholson once said - most people "can't handle the truth". The rose colored glasses will come off through time anyway.

My preference is for "real discussions" not whitewashed, fluffy, lock step praise of how nice things are. My topics have been called booring, but I feel that the 100th message of how the upgrade kit is great begins to be tedious. I am happy for the guys that have knocked a 1/10th second off their 1/4 mile time, but I can't use that information in my daily life. The truth has great wisdom to offer, but it has warts, dents, and stains......please take the sugar coating off my conversations.

In the span of American History the resurection of the Chrysler Corporation was monumental for many reasons! I would hope that some readers would take the time to find out exactly what was going on in our great country at that time (depression not seen since), and what courage it took to make it happen or maybe respond and relate just how it was. Of course the story won't be fluffy and filled with how happy people are to have their new toys, but if you want to know a little piece of what this great country is built on, you may take the time to do a little computer search to find out what the "big deal" was when you were only 5 years old![]
