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. :-)

Horse Shit!
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.
