Anyone else seeing the humor in this? You see similar situations all the time lately.

Regardless of which Chinese brand it is, we're seeing broken mounting tabs, stripped plug bosses, trashed bearings, broken cranks, broken mufflers, etc. Then there's the cries for help about how to fix or where to obtain parts. The costs involved with the repairs brings the total cost of that cheap engine to a level exceeding what a great engine would have cost had it been purchased instead of the cheapie. It's now come full circle.

Yea, I know there's going to be a lot of angry retorts over te previous statements but those that have the ability to recognize the truth when it bit them on the butt will understand. Those that have some simple concept of cheap is the way to go will never see the light of day. it costs a little more to make it right the first time. It costs a lot more to make it right the second and third time.
