You'd think so.

One of my redneck coworkers doesn't like that three of the four cars I've owned were built in Japan, but he drives a PT Cruiser, built by a German-owned company in Mexico.

Just because it's an "American" brand, doesn't make it a product of this country. It's just as well, anyway, because the UAW are crooked. I wouldn't have gone to college if I knew I could make $40/hr + health + pension + being paid to not show up to to work if there's nothing to do as a high school drop-out like half of Michigan thinks it's entitled to.

Also, a UAW member bullied my brother into selling his Scion tC to lease an F150, which was dumb on several levels, so now I'm trying to brainwash him back to the <s>dark</s> smart side.
