Hey 'Bolt,
Valid points. However, our ML has given us minimal issues. Lots o miles and beaten like a red headed step child, or something.
O-LAY!!

Then,,, suddenly the answer was right there, in the mirror, and apparently,, my contribution was huge

I have to defend the ML too. Our '01 ML320 has only been to the dealer for free oil changes since we've had it. I know, I should change it myself, but it holds 8 1/2 qts of Mobil 1 0w40 and it comes with free oil changes for 4 years/48K.
And we had an SVT Focus for less than 10 months before dumping it, what a POS.

Quality has less to do with where it is built and more to do with how it is designed and how it's assembly is managed and monitored. That can be crappy or fantastic anywhere in the world. Start taking apart your Lightning, and you'll see plenty of "Made in Mexico" stickers.

Since we are posting about potatoes and other stupid stuff not even related, I thought I would mention the benefits of Beans..
according to schoolyard rumor, they are good for your heart, but they do much more than that. They provide a major source of soluble fiber, which, when passing through the digestive tract grabs and traps bile that contains cholesterol, removing it from the body before it's absorbed. According to Patti Bazel Weil R.D.,diabetes nutrition educator at the University of Kentucky in Lexington and author of "Magic Beans", eating a cup of cooked beans a day can lower your total cholesterol by up to 10% in 6 weeks. Though that may not seem like much, it actually decreases your risk of heart disease by 20%. A study conducted at the University of Kentucky has shown that only three weeks of increased bean intake (3/4 cup of navy and pinto beans) lowered the men's cholesterol by an average of 19%. This reduces the risk of heart attack by almost 40%. Also because of the high fiber in beans, they can curb your appetite for fattier more dangerous foods.
