Do you REALLY want your wife to be stuck out somewhere on a cold, dark, windy, rainy night with $6 cables?

BTW, has anyone else noticed that a lot of the stuff you can get at WallyWorld is watered down, cheaply made and low quality EVEN when they are name brands?


My wife wouldn't even try to jump start it...she'd call AAA <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

But your point is well taken. Suffice it to say that in Wal Mart's effort to keep prices low, it would probably be wise to consider most products not reliable to bet your life on, eh?

Planned obsolescene...making stuff so it only lasts so long, then it becomes unusable, so you have to go buy another one. Happened with a $300 full face mask for my CPAP...didn't even last a year, while the much less expensive nasal masks last me for several years. Then someone at the medical supply shop said, "Yeah, the manufacturer only expects these to last for six months, because most insurance pays for a new one every six months"

Ah...corrupt capitalism!
