I was referring to American Motors Corporation, not American cars in
general. Hey, I knew plenty of people that owned Hornets, Gremlins,
Matadors, Pacers, Spirits and Eagles in my lifetime, and AMC has never had
a reputation for reliability. Whether that's true based on facts or not is
not being debated. I'm only referring to their reputation.

Actually the AMC products were pretty good, compared to the domestic
competition. Besides, didn't Pacers have the Porsche 924 engine one
year?

you said most dealership mechanics make $83,000 a year. here, ill quote
you:

"Most mechanics turned around 80 book hrs. a week working a 5 day week from
8 AM to 5 PM, with an hour lunch. Do the math: $20 x 80 = $1600 gross/wk =
$83,200 per year while working 40 hrs. a week."

to even suggest that a dealership mechanic is pulling in anywhere near $80k+
a year is laughable at best and downright sad on the other end. the rest of
your post/argument just doesnt matter. that you would further defend such an
assinine statement tells me everything i need to know. its just not worth
arguing with a brick wall. if this is what you believe then fine and well.
i do honestly wish you the best of luck in persuing your goal of being a
dealership mechanic.

as for what makes middle class, i suggest you get more familiar with
economics. $20 an hour is lower middle class. not that theres anything
wrong with lower middle class, but that is indeed where it falls.
