Stupid American Cars

What the fuck is wrong with American car makers?

My wife drives a company car, which is a Ford, and our oldest daughter drives a Cadillac SUV. When either of them calls using the bluetooth connection for the phone, it sounds like shit. Hard to understand, lots of sibilance, cuts out a lot. Really shitty. When my wife is in her Mercedes using the bluetooth connection, and the same phone, it is clear as a bell.

How much money can the American manufacturers be saving per car by using crappy electronics? Or maybe a crappy transducer? Either way it can't be more than a few dollars. These are off-the-shelf components, for pete's sake.

Hang the fuck up and drive.

I don't use the phone when I'm driving. I don't have bluetooth in my car and I turn the ringer off when I am driving. When my wife calls, I try to keep the conversations short, because I don't like her using the phone while she's driving - even though it's hands free.

Would you like to tell my wife to "Hang the fuck up and drive."? Remember when Bush told Al Queda to bring it on"?
