Rubber boot question (repair or replace)

[travajante]

as i recall, the classic VW air-cooled axle boot was designed for ease of replacement. it had a longitudinal opening that is closed in place by multiple bolts and nuts. parang butones ng polo shirt.

Those days....Those cars....Dealership survival wasn't conceived/schemed yet, doc.[emoji4]
Look at them today....mod a lil, miss a PMS, void the warranty. Electronics, diagnostics, Make-badged lubes/fluids, CVT, planned obsolescence.....so many tricks up their sleeves. Cars are no different from cellphones now.[emoji16]

planned obsolescence and "no owner-serviceable parts inside"..

i wonder...
if the tata nano were marketed here, at may aircon,
will it click?

...is the suzuki expresso on display somewhere, for costumer-perusing?

pinoys would call it the tata u-nano would fail for the same reason it failed in india, pinoys wouldn't want to be seen driving a "cheap" car they'd rather buy a used car instead

speaking of spresso i think i wanna check it out later at a local dealership...

personally,
i wouldn't mind being seen driving a cheap car.
as long as i fit comfortably inside, it is airconed, and it is not a gas guzzler.

in the workplace, "everybody drives a not-cheap car. it's actually hip, to be driving a much cheaper car". wag lang yung kinakalawang na tetanus-carrier at tumutulo ang bubong at sahig.. heh heh.

another major issue w/ the nano is the very poor safety
