Gee, I hadn't thought much about country of origin since I got rid of that
"Mexican Mustang" (That's an Escort ZX2 to you). Most of the vehicles we
have now are furrin built. I think all we have left that is built in the
USSA is the wife's F-250. And a garden tractor.
Wife's Grand Marquis - St Thomas Assembly Plant, Talbotville, Ontario,
Canada.
Pantera - Half-breed Italian/USSA
S2000 - built someplace in Japan?

Now, how many of you have import marque cars sitting in your garages?

How many of you have shown how patriotic you are and put an American flag on
your import?

How many of you can come up with "good" reasons why you passed on American
cars and bought the import car now in your possession?

Now multiply that by a nation of "Proud Americans" and you'll understand why
the Big Three are in the situation they now face.

We all make choices in life. They are not all based on logic and financial
concerns.? Some are based on faith, courage of conviction, and personal
taste.

If we had all vowed to "Buy American"? decades ago.........
