That was only part of my point. And you can't even calc a legit ROI until a
repair history is known.
Plus most volts get relatively few miles put on them, which further skews
the analysis.... I know, a bit over yer head, sorry.

No, it's your AQ (assaholic quotient) that'ss way above average.
The context here is some-time welding, not a dedicated welding shop.
How much welding does the avg home shop or even machining job shop do?
Not much, in my experience.
If you do LOTS of welding, well, then get/make an adjustable table. There
were a number of suggestions to ig along those lines.... all of which he
ig'd.

Again, it depends on how much welding is being done in a location.
For most shops, people doing occasional welding, elbow height it highly
ergonomic, from a variety of pov's -- the back, visual, manual dexterity,
placement, etc.
But it seems explaining the elbow-height table advantages to assholes is
like tryna explain good pussy to a confirmed fagit..... perhaps an apt
analogy here.

Fine. Again, for occasional welding most people will not want to go thru
alladat.
My welding table is 1/8 HR on 3/4" ply, braced on 2x4's in a blind
alcove.... quick, cheap, simple. And 42" high.
Serves many other functions, since I don't weld much anymore.

Statistics, statistics.... and context, context.... again....

Heh, the reality, as per jb's last article on the Volt, is that GM engineers
are now leaning more toward the AngstMobile than Kidding's
Ascot-fluttering-in-the-wind Planetary GearMobile.
You still don't get it. Really, if you want anyone besides PlimpBoi to
throw you a fish, yer gonna haveta study harder. arf arf clap clap <no
fish this time, for kidding>
