When paying $25,000 for a truck, I'd like to think the paint should
stick to the damn bumper. But if I get sick of complaining about that, I
can bitch about the smell of coolant when the thermostat opens. Or, the
fact that the transmission SLAMS into second gear after overreving in
1st under normal acceleration (Dodge says that's normal). Maybe when
that gets old I'll cry about the wheel flare gap of 1/2" on my rt. front
fender.
