Re: Sold American!
No No No. You want your tile to come from Italy Seriously, anything made in America is great and good to see. But there was a time when we were the leader in manufacturing and we made great quality. But back then there were certain things other countries were known for and it was ok to source that w/o harming us. It usually meant more expensive, too. Italian shoes, French furs, Swiss watches, Swedish meatballs (), and absolutely nothing from China. Remember import shops? Maybe one in every big city. Now if you say something in an import people will wonder why you even mentioned that, like Big Whoop!

Re: Sold American!
Mmmm these tires were put in my AMX in 1988 . Getting it ready to drive it again . Funny but there are no checks or cracks in the tires but it’s getting new rims and tires . 14 inch rims don’t cut it anymore

Re: Sold American!
Yep. It's criminal what the tire industry has been allowed to do by those who regulate them. I'm sure they enjoy the pleasure of one another's wife. It's ok as long as the date of mfgr is put on the tire. Then it's the customer's fault their tire with little wear blew out and caused injury and damage to their vehicle, possibly others. Pretty slick way to put the public at risk while gaining profits.

Re: Sold American!
Those old Goodyear's sure look good for their age. Made in the day when tires lasted longer than banana's.

I picked these up in a flea market today. I made a pair of sawhorses about seven years ago. They still work fine but,these saw horse brackets were $3 a pair, so I bought two pair….made in the USA 🇺🇸.

Speaking of home run, here are alternatives in US made baseball hats now that New Era has opted to use overseas labor.

Re: Sold American!
I’ve got about eight Triple Aught Design hats. Made in California.
I like these covers because they delete the squatcho.

Re: Sold American!
I couldn’t get a battery I needed over here in Maine, drove across the bridge and bought a battery at Canadian Tire, guess where it was made? Right here in the Big PX . I do have many snap on’ s made in Canada. I own 3 kubota tractors made in us (Tennessee)most likely parts made in Japan. The Ferd and John Deere tractors I looked at had Chi-Com engines . We’re my Dad living (he fought in the pacific USN) I wouldn’t have bought them. I don’t like buying anything but things manufactured buy our allies.

Re: Sold American!
Back when I lived in North Carolina a friend of mine lost an eye using one of those Chi-Com ball peen hammers. Only hammers you’ll find around my place are made by Estwing, Snap On and Craftsman (when they were made in USA). My father-in-law in New Zealand introduced me to Swazi outdoor clothing. They were a fine brand of clothing especially the rain gear and warm shirts. Unfortunately, last year they took their manufacturing out side of New Zealand to Communist China. My wife is presently over there helping her brother recover from a stroke, I told her if she gets a chance to look in second hand shops and find me some of the old New Zealand manufactured ones. I have some that have lasted 40 years with little to no wear.
