There can be quite a bit of that. My mother in law is a lesbian and they go out of their way to see out other lesbians or gays to work with. They have some sense of security when working with other lesbians, as if they are more honest because of that. I don't get it but whatever works for them.

Until my current car, I'd always driven Japanese cars. This time I went with a VW and at 75k miles my timing belt broke. I thought it was supposed to be changed at 90k but I was very wrong. Now, when they designed the vehicle they could have done so in a way that the breaking of the belt doesn't cause major damage. They didn't and now I need to have 12 of the 20 valves changed. Additionally, they put the belt itself in a hard to access place. So just fixing hte belt is $600 because you have to remove half of the shit in the engine. To top it off the bushings need to be replaced. I've never had these problems with my Honda, Mitsubishi, or Toyota. Hell with a Honda you can break the timing belt and it won't cause damage. I'll never buy a VW again. The cars can be designed better but they don't because they want the money you'll spend on parts etc. Fuck them.
