Italy indeed!
I was up under the dash when I saw a "Wired By Lucas In China" wire loom...when I saw the SOBill initials I felt better.

My current "Driving Shoes" are SAS - San Antonio Shoe Company. Made in
Texas. Soles are a little thicker than conventional driving shoes, but they
work for me.

Ok, so I get my Piloti shoes delivered today and I get them out of the box.
They look great, they fit great, everything is great, right?  Well it was
all fine until I noticed on the label that the damn things are made in
China.  I figured they'd be made in Italy.  Nope, f&%#ing China!  I am sick
and tired of everything I try to buy being made in China.  I try my best not
to buy Chinese products, but it is getting almost impossible to do that.  I
went out the other day to get dust caps for my front rotors and all I could
find was Made in China, and I tried 4 parts stores and wasted way too much
gas in the process.  At the last store I found a pair of Mr Gasket dust
caps, nice chrome plated and cheap.  I checked the back of the
box...............F&$%ing made in China!!!!!!  The Piloti shoes just sent me
over the edge and I had to vent!

And they wonder why the economy is in the tank!
