My Dodge pick-up was made in Mexico!! My Ford van doesn't say where. But we started looking this summer for new, what got me and we were in the military 26 years and I love my country, but all the "American" brands only offer a 3 year power train warranty, while the rest is usually 5 to 10 years. We were letting the price of gas make us look for a more economical vehicle. We didn't buy as I decided we have vehicles the size we want and I can darn sure put a lot of $3.00 gas and repairs into them for the $27,000+ it would cost us to get a smaller cramped vehicle and not be as comfortable. And I can buy more computer equipment too! LOL How about a Linux Vehicle?

Patriotism is one thing, but buying for the sake of it being American is completely different beast. Besides, most American vehicle companies are manufacturing their vehicles in other countries, anyway.

That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.
