It's all good Ice.

I'm good with Liberals driving around in Non-Union labor foreign built cars, while bitching about outsourcing, the preservation of Unions and preaching about having to save US auto makers.

So your good

Besides perhaps that factory in the UK was union?

Plus I bought it used so the money went to an American used car dealer and the interest on the loan went to Navy Federal and then USAA......

looks like I am a good American after all......

if you are looking for the Other JBS look in the mirror lol

you see the bad thing about buying a new Ford is the guy in financing who tries to (and succeeds with the unknowing, i.e. me in 1989) to add on the bullshit AFTER you have agreed with the dealer on the price. They all have mustaches too. 300 revolutions through that? no way lol


Pete a used Honda on a car lot with less than 60,000 miles on it at about half the price of new one is no brainer. The Honda warranty is only like 3 years, 60,000 if you buy new.

actually the Swindon UK Honda plant is union....

so I guess the original owner of the CRV helped a union even if it was across the pond.

As much as I admire their founder, no Hondas for Pete.

Yeah I kinda think I should get a new Ford next time...I will grow a mustache for the occasion. But if it is one of those Korean built gas sippers will that count?

I think the Fiesta may be an offshore transplant....

At least the profits stay here.

Get an ecoboost Taurus

As a bonus, it's environmentally friendly. It must be, it's got 'eco' in it's name.
