Another perspective on the domestics
I’ve been out sick for nearly a week - an ordinary case of the flu hits you harder when you’re recovering from other treatments - but I’ve managed, for the first time in two or three days, to sit at the computer long enough to catch up on some e-mail. Nearly lost amidst the various implications that I need to adjust my body in various ways was an article by Jim Sponseller, which looked at some of the lesser remembered history of Detroit and brought up some extra reasons why Americans may want to think twice about buying imported vehicles. I think it’s worth a look.
thanks for sharing this article Dave, I wish some others folks would see the light while they read this.

I have yet to own a foreign made car. And now I remember why. Thanks for the reminder!

Gee Whiz! I was so happy with my “furrin’ vehicle.”
My Dodge B-250 Wagon was built in CANADA!
It had Maple Leaves all over the specification stickers, reminiscent of the Fords that used to say “Built in Texas by Texans.”
