Not really you just gave out a valid opinion. But I don't see the need
of anyone has to justify on what they own and drive for any given
reason. If you only want to own American cars well that's your right to.
I own 2 aussie built GM cars and they do the job really well. :-)

For years I worked in a steelmill here in the gold ole USA, as did my father
and grandfather. And for all those years, nothing but American vehicles set
in our driveways. I guess nowadays that rule of thumb, American Steel for
American Jobs, has sort of went by the wayside since I have no idea where
all this plastic comes from.

I do go on don't I?

Horse !
Go to any steel mill! All the equipment is either from Germany- Austria or
Japan.
Even the American refractory companies are "consolidated' with European
ones.
It is absolutely crazy that the American Steel worker makes steel using
imported equipment and
complains about imported steel.

Hi,
Yup. Americans don't have an ability to make machines to make other
machines. U.S. overdid it to herself. Like U.S. no longer produce vacuum
tubes. Demand for tubes is still there tho.
