My personal take on it is if I drive my Rambler in the crud we call winter up here it would soon dissolve back into the state in which I found it.
There for, I choose to drive my Jeeps and Nissans and let them dissolve into the crud. [I try to preserve them]
Now, If I could buy an American car that was not a piece of crap and my wife would agree on, after all she makes nearly three times as much money as I do, well, then I would buy an American made car.
My Jeeps will have to do, although I think they come out of Canada or some place, kinda like the AMC's did...
