<People that participate in spreading these hoaxes just end up costing people money and time investigating crap like this.>

I totally agree with you. So does, Y2KNEWSWIRE, who originally wrote the story. They ended up with "egg on their fact" and wrote a retraction the day following the article. They immediately removed the original article as soon as they realized it was not true.

<I have 20 years experience in the automotive industry.>

Gee, you sure started young. As I recall, you said you were 36. So, you got involved in the automotive industry when you were only 16? I'm impressed:-)

So what do you want, a brownie point? Is this your greatest achievement? Why do you choose to be so childish and annoying!

>> People that participate in spreading these hoaxes just end up costing people money and time investigating crap like this.

YOU are the one costing people time and money! You made your point a few days ago, and I have yet to see anyone arguing with you. So YOU are the one prolonging this and trying to make a much bigger deal out of it than it is. Puh-leze, stop wasting our time with "crap like this." Sheeesh!
