What brands do you associate with junk?

[the ringo kid]

For other than Gun products--anything by samsung, kia, and gun products--mendoza and norinco.

I'm humored and confused about some of the posts bashing McD's, Carls' Jr, TacoBell etc. Is there some "better" fast food place that sells non-nutritious, extreme high fat content junk food?

Junk food is junk food in my book (and in my veins, my GI tract, my waistline).

Guns....Taurus, Rossi, hi-point, marlin

Cars....Kia, GM CARS (not trucks, and not corvettes), Suzuki, VW's attempts at SUV and minivans.

Airlines....US Airways

Cable/Internet....comcast, twc (ironic that they want to merge).

McDonald's. Epic ****, and they have the world brainwashed. It's sad, really. Throw in taco hell and their dirt tacos, too.

Home Electronics....Anything NOT Sony, Samsung, LG

Smart phones....anything NOT Samsung, LG, Apple

Teehee I guess I'm opinionated. I could go on all morning, lol.

home electronics ..... eye up Sunfire
you listed the junk

OK, I thought we were not supposed to bash/trash talk guns on the forum or did I get that rule wrong?
But, as far as cars go I would never, ever, not in a hundred years, not even for free, own a Chrysler product.

same here ... never again
the last one was a 2k stratus .... it ended up in a scrap yard in 06 ... don't get me started

All these new trucks with the sealed bearings in the front ends scare me

I was repackaging my tapered bearings in my 4x4 front ends once a year.
I hand manual locking front hubs I knew when the axle was engaged. I never had a hub fail to engage. With these modern vaccumne switches we have to be lucky if they engage when needed. What a joke the new 4x4 trucks really are.

35 years ago I viewed Harley as a company who couldn't even figure out how to put two engine cases together without leaking oil. Today I think they make top shelf bikes.

What a lot of our "new" Harley riders fail to realize is that the Evo motor was actually developed by the hated & despised AMF.

Yes. Top shelf motors but the "new" Harley riders manage to bolt & glue enough aftermarket billet accessories to 'em that eventually they CAN be made t leak oil.

We'll leave the plethora of "global market" OEM parts and the .gov bailout for another thread.

 

[O2Guy]

McDonald's
General Motors
Kimber

Nope. Never a problem with any of them. Look for the consumer reports best buys in the category you want. That's what I have done, and have had success.

 

[G-Mac]

I've owned two Rossi revolvers and two Jennings pistols. I rate the Jennings higher than the Rossi.

Most fasteners you buy at Lowes, Home Depot, etc. are junk. Some smaller mom and pop hardware stores may still carry quality fasteners but you get what you pay for.

 

[J. R. WEEMS]

Hmmmmm-- I see this being closed before long--

 

[BrianE]

They don't make things like they used to, no matter what brand. Things aren't made for longevity but for disposal. It's all about making money.........

 

[Bkreutz]

It's always been about money, that's called capitalism.

 

[OLDFED]

Anything electrical from Harbor Freight.
Those late 1800 to early 1900 top break small caliber revolvers without the cylinder stops.

 

[Leighman1964]

Hate to break the sad but true to some of you folks but ALL (yes, all) companies crank out lemons (some more than others).

I've owned piss poor Danner boots ($300+) that lasted 6 months and a a Taurus 85 snub (circa 1988) with 2,000+ rounds through it and still tighter than any J-frame I own.

What does this prove? Nothing; just like 99% of the replies to this thread.

 

[Whitens Moss]

Wal-Mart=****
Made in China=**** (except my SKS, which is a great rifle)
Taurus=never owned one but they have lifetime warranties that are transferable.
Generally speaking, no matter the brand, you'll always find a lemon somewhere in the pile.
Conversely, every "cheap" Emerson or Magnavox TV I've ever owned has never failed. I have a 19-inch Mag in my man cave that's 14 years old and I've never had to adjust it for anything. Still works great.

As long as we're talking about anything, then Pocket Hose. I bought two of them last summer at Home Depot. Both literally exploded after about five or six uses.

Thanks, I've considered that purchase.

But then I hear they use recycled python innards from ones shot in the Florida everglades.

 

[phnx]

Kia's must suck. Why else would they offer the best warranties in the business? 5 years/60,000 bumper to bumper and 10 years/100,000 on the powertrain.

Wait. That made no sense. Maybe they are pretty good.

One mans junk is another mans treasure.
