Once again, I can't find the original anywhere on the site. Searched for "throw in towel" "throw in the towel" "manufacturers throw in the towel" and even went through a couple of months worth of News Opinion and Hot Topics. Nada

The search engine doesnt read minds..it isnt going to find the specific article that you are thinking of if you are searching for a phrase not included in the article.

Didn't come up with anything searching "Suzuki" either. Given the volume of things I write for this and other outlets, it's not possible to recall every detail about every article. Nick said "throw in the towel" and it stuck.

When I search the word Suzuki...

the first thing that comes up is the Suzuki brand list...and your article is the top article on that list. In fact, the white flag image that you used is the picture that is featured next to the search result for the Suzuki brand.

Your article is also the first thing on the Mitsubishi page when I search for that brand.

Keep in mind, to see the entire list of articles for a given brand category, you just add /suzuki or /mitsubishi to the front page link. You can also search for the brand name in our search function and the first thing that comes up will also be the brand category.

When I searched for "give up", your piece is the first item that comes up.

I think it came up in the discussion thread if I recall well.

On another note, I get randomly kicked out of TN, and can't sign back in. I have to reset the password. My browser remembers the previous one, I re-enter it and back in again. I go through this regularly.
