My town of Apex, NC has some cool police cars. Plymouth Prowlers.
I'll give you the Mexican-made VW, but Subaru builds cars in Lafayette, IN. Volvo is owned by Ford, which shares components among its various global marques. If you can buy a new car or truck that's 100% U.S.-made, I'll be amazed.
I sorta mean not french and or german.
Isn't this the same N.Y. that pays lip service to not having jobs? Carping by the Hildabeast about how hard she has laboured to bring jobs to N.Y. to help feed the children?
Nahhhhh just send the jobs to germany or maybe yugoslavia or sweeden.
