I had my brake light switch go out on me this week, not a big deal right. Well not if I hadn't replaced it under two years ago with the Chinese made one found in-stock at a reputable foreign parts store. If you have ever replaced the damn thing you know what kind of hell it can amount to. On the knees outside the drivers door while doing what ever it takes with the half turn of the stub wrench to try and get the thing to bolt down. Bolts that are hair thin with no room for anything none the less my hand and a wrench.

So I paid an extra 5 dollars for an italian made part that looks like the same design as the Chinese. If this one goes out on me I'll roll the car off a cliff. Not that I needed something more to do but I found my water pump leaking yesterday to where the fluid was gone from the thing I can't spell correctly for some reason at the moment. I think between the brake light switch and the gymnastics scam (lead in everything too) I'm boycotting Chinese made crap even more than I did before. Like the cast iron frying pan I almost bought at IKEA last weekend for camping. Had it not said made in China I would have bought it but I didn't.
