[DeTomaso] What you COULD have done to help Detroit

[j g]

When I buy new I only Buy american cars and try every where i can to buy american made tools and goods. I own porsche and mazda and detomaso but bought used for hobby purposes not my primary vehicles. 
I have bought jap vehicles before but will not ever again as the american product lasts longer with a lower per mile overall cost .
