so how many jobs and how many dollars invested in the USA since the election? Anyone here keeping track? I want to post it on fb and drive a couple of relatives crazy
When I was in high school a friend had a Chrysler with a 413 and 3 two barrel carbs. It was big and heavy and not as fast as one would think.
Another Victory for Trump! He said he would get jobs and he is—Its just started folks! Soon, the rust belt will be rusty no more! This is oly the start! way to go Fiat!
I guess they haven't figured out the assembly line thing that other car makers have.
2,000 jobs also means more stores, truck drivers, school teachers, Gas station workers, More Taxes being paid, more Pride and more ownership! Trump is a miracle man! That is what we need—pride in a job well done—money earned by hard work! That’s what made America Great once and it will happen again!
The American car is the key to the American economy. US Steel, US Tires, US workers, burning US Gas!
You’d need cameras with magnifying capabilities to see behind you. The bottom vehicle is so long, the taillights are in different time zones than the headlights! They still haven’t found Jimmy Hoffa’s body, or a number of other gangster’s bodies. Find one of those cars, and you may find a dozen in the trunk, with room to spare!
On a very recent trip to Southern China, for the first time ever I saw Jeeps on the road. Mustangs too. It was quite a surprise, but I was stoked!
Some here on FR complain that auto assembly doesn’t have much of a “multiplier” because many, if not most, of the parts come from outside the US. The BMW plant in Greer, SC is sometimes cited as an example.
JEEP....Just Empty Every Pocket. Own a jeep and get to know the service manager on a first name basis.
My Dad had an Imperial just like the top pic. Awesome car. Had pivoting swing-out front seats. Chicks dug it!
Even if you can work on them yourself or at least mostly since I don’t have a lift and a shop, you’ll get to know Amazon, KaiserWillys.com, and Walcks really well if you have a CJ era model.
Tractor Supply, Bolt Depot, Lowes, Advance, and Auto Zone have been involved a lot for bolts, fittings, fabbing, and rewiring parts.
screw that. send em all down to mexico.
You wouldnt even need a back-up camera with those - you could see out the back window.

Every once in a while, I read a tragic story of some parent running over a child while backing out of a drive way. There’s an area directly behind a vehicle that’s effectively a blind spot.
I bought a new Toyota Highlander a few months ago and it has a backup camera and you can see things that are very near the back bumper.
It made me wonder, how many little lives will be saved by this? No way to quantify it though.
I’ve never run over a kid while backing out but I did mangle a bicycle once.
They need to go back to making the original MB configuration.
No heated seats or climate control. A little four banger you
can pull yourself and at a price someone could afford.
My 41 MB is still running, not fast, 45 is top speed
but it goes and goes and goes. I’m saving it for my
nephew to drive in 2041.
Came off the line Dec.16,1941.
You got that right! I own a 1968 Mercury Monterey. Big Car! Lol.
I had a ‘76 Jeep CJ-5...Had it until 2009...No problems...
Hunted and fished all over Tennessee...even to Canada 4 times..No problems...
Those are some serious Land Yachts.
Next winning..how about light bulbs the kind we grew up with and not these twisty lights?
