No, as a matter of fact, I feel the same way. I'd much rather buy well-made
American products. That's why I'm still running my GMC pickup with 133,000
miles on it.

But, I did buy the wife a Toyota Highlander, which she dearly loves.


I guess love makes us make bad decisions.

One of my coworkers that damn near went down with the USS Lexington,
reluctantly bought his wife the Mitsubishi SUV that she liked, in
spite of the fact that he declares that, "the *******s tried to kill
me in WWII."


LOL! Well, if Toyotas were made in North Vietnam, I might have had second
thoughts. But, Consumer Reports consistently ranks the Highlander at the
top of the SUV heap.
