So are you PROUD to be driving a MADE IN AMERICA CAR? (California, Nissan)

[dude_reino]

Not only am I proud of my made-in-America Accord, I'm especially proud that it has not been built by the UAW.

[NARFALICIOUS]

I don't care where my cars are originally made, by the time I get ahold of them, they're so old that they've been rebuilt by an American.


Or at least an illegal who claims to be American working under the table in an inner-city shop.



And then rebuilt by me.



Then stolen by someone and stripped.


Then recovered and rebuilt again by me.

I might fix & flip it, or drive it until something else of interest comes along.

I'm not defined by what I drive.

This is my strategy also. If you support the idea that the best product should win, then spend your money on the car that best meets your needs. Country of origin or manufacturer means nothing to me.

Selfishness beats out the fellow countryman any day? And to think others have made the ultimate sacrifice for you. What a pity.

Military service has nothing to do with if a certain company builds a subpar product or one not suited to a consumers needs best and trying to intertwine/confuse the two is a move of a douchebag.

Wanna sell.?? Build a good product.

What UAW worker in Michigan has sacrificed for me?

For a long time - the vehicles produced in those factories were mostly terrible. Buying one of their products is simply un-American in my view because it rewarded mediocrity (not just the UAW guys - includes all the guys in suits).

If a guy working on my house did a terrible job, I'd fire him. Same thing with cars.

So... Would it be more patriotic of me to drive a Camry that was made in Kentucky, or a Mercury that was made in Japan?

What if I bought Chinese-made products at a Walmart?? [Gasp!!!]

Yes, My 2014 Ford Taurus was built in IL.
My 2003 F150 was built in MI.

I always try to buy things made in the USA if possible.

I could careless as long as its reliable. American at auto companies and workers never cared about American buyers.They pushed out defect for years to as one auto worker said;to let dealers deal with it.
