Great post and all true.
Its tough with cars though because even though I bought a Dodge Challenger, who the heck knows where the individual parts were made anymore?
I remember reading an article at one point that the Honda Accord assembled in Ohio was actually made with the highest percentage of USA made parts.
I really like the Challenger and Charger looks. I rented a Charger a few years ago in Boise. People would get out of the way of that car in Idaho because the troopers drive them. They also use them for undercover state police cars.
I made the comment regarding the Chinese made power tools because I bought a Milwaukee cordless drill and driver package at Home Depot after Christmas. I found out that almost all Milwaukee tools are no longer made in Wisconsin. They are made in China and some are still made in Mississippi. Later on I did find out that Dewalt are made in NC.
