This cant be true. Just ask one of the senators from Washington (state) who said that the new Air Force tankers couldnt be built in Alabama because we dont have the intelligence to build technical products (thats a paraphrase of what she said, but it is what she meant). That sounds dumb enough to have come from the pie hole of Patty Murray. She is the genius who tells American school children the reason Afghans don't like us is because, Osama bin Laden builds hospitals and day care centers there and we don't. I wonder if she knows the home of American rocketry? She' no rocket scientist so why should she?
Now with Biden as VP, she is the undisputed stupidest person in the Senate. It was a tie.

I wanted to buy American but not UAW built and my 2011 Sonata has ended up being the perfect car for me. Although I believe in buying American, I can't fault you for that. Wisconsin is just the latest example of what unions have become.

I spent an entire decade of my life working on high torque electric motors, so electric vehicles are a major interest of mine.
Me and my brother have been hanging on to a pair of junk Datsan 210's for conversion as retirement projects for more than a decade.

As for the Leaf, just keep in mind that the operating distance is not quite as advertised.

I also have a Lexus SUV, the Leaf like my current Prius is strictly a nerdy indulgence.

Unfortunately, the incident at Toomer’s Corners reinforces that mistaken idea.

To each his own. My nerdy indulgence would be a BMW turbo Diesel. Different strokes for different folks.

That is a nice looking ride. How was the handling? Was the steering sharp and was there some good feedback?

I bet you have never been to la grange GA, where I have been there many times, and was there several times while the plant Was underconstuction. Both the building and the highway. Those little brown men did not look southern to me. LOL actual souther entrance is the old west point exit, the plant exit is first one to the north. So tell when were you there.

I just read 0 to 60 in 6.2. I also read it is priced at $60,000.00. I have decided to buy 39 more 1983 GMC trucks @ 1500 bucks each, just like the one I have.

For a car that size, that is pretty quick.
Looking to have a fleet of trucks, eh? :-)
As for me, I have this weird fixation on Citroen DS19s and DS21s (among other older cars).

Man, the 15CV was a helluva car, no? Good, elegant lines.

I have actually wanted an SM as a project car.

I have also thought that a 2CV would be a nifty commuter for me (my daily commute is quite short) and it would turn some heads.

I wish that the C6 were available in the US.

Looks to me as if Citroen has lost its way, those are not the compelling original lines and proportions for which they became known. It actually looks rather like a knockoff of an old Audi A6.
They never quite matched the quirky greatness of the DS19 - DS21 again, imho. Although the Maserati-engined SM came close. It was a mechanic's nightmare. Don't break a timing chain, disaster ensues. The electricals made Lucas seem competent, too. They were pretty, though. First one I ever saw in person, Burt Reynolds was driving.

My 2006 Sonata was built there. Great car.
