01.12.21 (MP3): Quality & Safety Matter! Reasons Not To Buy Chinese (Or Crappy) Parts, w/ Counterfeit Tires, Low-Flow Injectors, Fraudulent QC, (Intentionally) Defective Equipment & Disregard @ Life (Poison Dog Food, Anyone?), + Dumb Is Not an Excuse
Manage episode 283032466 series 1016966
Because gearheads care (here to help!): we've got some logic on why buying products from countries that don't respect intellectul property or design integrity (ahem, China's a nice example) can lead to more than a crappy iPhone charge cord (ie: real risk to you). We're the Garage Hour, so our logic pivots from performance parts - when you need to depend on hard parts, what happens if they're soft?
It's in there: the adventure of shopping for made-better, #getChinesegobroke, buycotting, fake quality, counterfeit branding, fradulent controls, intentional defect, disregard for life, and respecting the goods that have earned their reputation (knockoff handbag, anyone?).
