| We've established there are costs of doing business.  Customers either choose 
to pay enough to offset those costs, or they don't.  Pure and simple.  My daily 
driver is a 15-year-old American luxury car, and I accepted up front that it 
would cost more to fix at a Cadillac dealership than it would cost to have 
"Sammy Shadetree" fix a Ford Escort.  If I'm not willing to pay those higher 
repair costs I have no business driving a Cadillac.  Either way I have no right 
to complain--the effects of others' free-will decisions get no sympathy from 
me, nor should I expect others' sympathy for the effects of mine.  If/when the 
car breaks down, I will either choose to "put on my big boy pants" and pay to 
have it fixed, or I will make a different choice and won't be driving a 
Cadillac.  I have no right to expect GM to build Cadillacs for the price of a 
Kia.  Now PLEASE can we get back to talking about the radios, and not bicker 
about the manufacturer's corporate stuff?
