Wife's new Grocery Getter

[FJCrusing]

Route 66 Warranty company treated me like gold while we basically rebuilt a van that the first owner obviously only ever drove. That company never once flinched on any of the many repairs we made to the van and now it has 120K on it but most major parts have half or less than that. My Town and Country Van is very nice but was made in Canada and the wife's "have to have one" PT cruiser was made in Mexico. I dont really like that car but she does and that I guess is all that counts along with it has not had any problems.

Only my little Ranger truck was made in the US and other than being so small I love it, I just wish I could have afforded a full size one at the time.

I am happy that we are getting the factories for those ferin cars because they are good jobs for those folks and revenue for the states but I also know full well better that it wasnt done for the benefit of the American worker, the American buyer or our country's benefit. Still it is better to have those factories than to not have them.

Now if we could only get the Chinese to cooperate on widgets

To add, I have a 2012 Tundra TRD Rock Warrior 4x4 CrewMax 5.7L V8 that was built in San Antonio, Texas. 80 percent of its parts are sourced from the U.S. or Canada, the 2012 Tundra is actually the most “American†full-size rig on the market. Strange, but true. Need a truck but can’t wrap your head around an American Toyota? The only other pickup trucks made in America out of North American parts are the Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, and Ram Dakota. Just some food for thought. Seems to me that if the product and majority of the parts were made in America by Americans and sold to Americans it would be in the best interest of our countries benefit even though it is a foreign truck. Not really much about it is foreign at that point in my mind.
