Re: Watch those parts weasles
Same for new vehicles, I would NOT buy a product of Daimler Chrysler.
It may be manufactured here, but any final profits will be sent to the
parent company. Same goes for all the "Jap Crap" vehicles running
the roads, assembled here and profits go back to Japan/Korea.
I have been a DIE HARD MoPar guy since 1970, however I will never buy
another NEW one. As I see it, Ford is the closest thing to an
American Auto Company still left and I intend to patronize them
instead.

Now that's funny. There are no more new American cars, and only one truly
American made motorcycle, Polaris.
Ford's Mexican electrical systems are contemptable and as an experienced
mechanic I would choose Ford last..

I was speaking from my experience selling auto parts, with a bit of
patriotism thrown in!
