[QUOTE="rezrider, post: 137569, member: 79"] I am not the type to read CONSUMERS DIGEST to see what vehicle ranks the highest, etc... I drive what I like and do my best at keeping it up. I'm not a Ford, Dodge, Chevy guy by any means... its' what I'm feeling like at the time. Like now if I had my choice I'd trade my truck in on a Dodge Mega-Cab 4x4 with the Cummins... You said you drive only Toyotas and/or Hondas... and Chevys. The yall have their faults, we have a Lexus (made by Toyota) and have received several "recalls" for various things therefore ALL vehicles/mfrs are suseptable to failure... for instacne the Toyota BRAKE fiasco.... As for bikes... same hre HOWEVER, being in the mfg industry I know that companies just don't throw shit together and hiope they can sell it... there's a lot of techinical studies performed behind the scenes (reliability tests, etc...). My choice in an Exotic is as I mentioned, I don;t like being "part of he crowd". I don't like to blend in.... being beige, etc. I'll take my chances on being different... kind of like my helmet... It's not plain, 1 color to match my bike or iother gear hell no, it's flourescent Orange with red flames on it... As for the Japanese co's outlasting the "exotics"... it's very possible, I doubt they'll go away but stuff happens and if and when the time comes I'll have to cross that bridge when I come to it... until then run watcha brung and enjoy enjoy it while you can! :thumb:.... how's that for elaborating??? :ride: [/QUOTE]
