Yes I know my 06 Chevy truck has foreign parts but not at my will , I try as with everything else I buy. Let there be no mistake I demand quality but if I'm going to pay for something that breaks at least let it be made here and I can move on to the next U.S.A. competitor who makes good and the bad will go.
Sorry if I went off topic , I try to love the world .

Problem is US built is generally not practical. They're heavy on gadgets and low on quality. Other than my Chevy, the make-up of the driveway is Toyota. My son has abused his $3600 1997 Camry, but it's had just one real problem in six years, cost $400. It has 130K on it. My 2005 Tundra is worth 50-55% what I paid for it new. Only one repair, cost $100. My wife's 2011 Corolla S. No problems. That car hasn't held its value like the Tundra. It's worth just 45% what I paid for it. Personally, I never liked it to begin with. My wife wanted it. Tell you what though, the turn ratio and especially brakes are unmatched. That car stops on a dime.

My other son had an 89 4-Runner with 80K miles before it was stolen....2011 was NOT a good year. I could write 8-10 country songs, and my son could write another 4-5. You wouldn't believe it.
