If all manufacturers used standard parts, then when my Chevy breaks instead of going to Chevy, I go to whoever sells the part the cheapest. So Chevy either loses sales on spare parts, or they have to drop their price, which makes Ford drop their price, etc. etc. _______________________________________________ Address messages to [email protected] No other addresses in TO and CC fields UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/ LIST INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org
