Going well, thanks for asking. How about you, get your FIL & wife chores taken care of for the day?

Yep! just got back from taking care of the FIL, he got a double cheese burger and a Strawberry shake for supper!

Still waiting on a good American-made car!

Buy a Camaro, its THEE American car.



Oh wait, I forgot. It's ALWAYS been made in CANADA

Honda Civics are built in Greensburg, IN. About 15 minutes from my house.

Yep! But all profit made by them goes overseas!!

Dang it!! and that is the trouble! nothing is made here anymore!! = no jobs for Americans!!

He really lit up when I told him!! it was in the 80s in his room!! but he gets cold easy! but burned me up just giving him his supper!!

Well, I have to agree with TWB this time. Best car I ever owned was a 92 Honda Accord. I put 365,000 miles on it and it was still running good when I was issued a company car and sold the Accord.

Even though the money goes overseas I would bet that buying a Honda or Toyota supports more American JOBS than buying any of the original American 3 companies

Two of the last three GM products I have owned have been P.O.S. 05 Grand Prix, 07 Impala & 04 Deville.
The Impala was the only one I would recommend.

My 06' Chevrolet 1500 4x4 Crew Cab has treated me well.

The 09' Pontiac Vibe hasn't been bad other than road noise.

I never hear anything bad about Chevy Trucks. Just cars.

Pontiac Vibe was built in a factory co-owned with Toyota. They made a Toyota model built on the same platform there.

Since 1994 I have owned I've owned 7 Ford F-150 pickup trucks never had trouble with any of them! put 110,000 on one generally about 65,000 on the rest, great trucks!

If I ever bought another one new, it would be a Ford. I just never buy new anymore.
I put 50,000 to 65,000 miles a year on my cars, so I just buy a "new" used one every three years.

I'm ready for a new car, but my pocket isn't.

I'm really ready for a different car, current one is on it's last legs. Just can't afford it until wife finds a job she can keep.

I'll wait until she is an NP.
