Do you think there are just lemons? Just a few out of so many that are made in a hurry, or on someone's bad day.

I remember hearing years ago you never wanted to buy a car on a Monday or Friday, because there were not as many workers at the factories those days. Those were the days people usually took off.

It seems like people have great or awful luck in any particular car/truck.

I know FL has a lemon law for the first three days of ownership.

What do you think?

There is no question that there are lemons out there. The causes could be many things, poor manufacturing, weak parts, even metal fatigue can cause problems. It is kind of odd, but you can get 500 cars off a line and one or two may be lemons. There is no good way to tell which ones might be lemons.

Lemons happen. Nothing is perfect. The lemons happen when multiple imperfections converge at the asssembly line on the same car.

Along those lines some entire car lines can be lemons based on poor design or execution. Can you say, "Yugo?"
