The lack the comfort of a real US full sice car and they don't handle like the european cars , so you get a uncomfortable car that handles like a fried egg in a non stick frieingpan. |
I totaly agree with you; No imitation, only the genuine one with all the american stuffs that make the Airstream , unique.
About galvanizing, if,it was THE solution against rust, all 'ld be galvanized...
Sure it's really a progress but parts or pieces are rarely well galvanized
just see the security rails along the roads.... In fact, it's an economic question... if steel and metal no more rust after galvanizing, what become their production in the world; don't forget we are in a consumption economy.
The more difficult is to plan the just no-rusting time that make the consumer
not angry and ready to buy again...
Curiously, the Wally Byam vision was not in this consumption economy as the most of the trailers built from the beginning , is always on the roads... Was he wrong ? so Airstream is always alive today.
