    I would not be concerned about the quality, Taiwan makes some very impressive machine tools that are used world wide in the industry.
    I’ll bet most merican companies use off shore made machine tools.
    On the other hand I suppose Mondays and Fridays still is a factor world wide.

    Re: Really surprised to see this on a STRANGE rear end

    Well I'm bummed that TKO is not driving a classic Mustang to the bash. Half the fun of the bash is the other Mustangs and the other half is the people. Well maybe 60% is the people OK, 70% is the people. We all have a lot of fun no matter what you drive.

    I have to agree.  Also, Tom, it's prolly gonna be a long time before a Bash is any closer to you. 
    Butt (TS&T) if you need to drive the Kia, we all been there and done that...and we understand.  Just get there!

    Re: Really surprised to see this on a STRANGE rear end

    I'll miss having the old girl at the Bash too, but not to fear.  I'll have something that will be "interesting".  Maybe polarizing, hard to say.  Its kind of one of those "you only live once things".
