Just want to say that there are three American cars parked in our Driveway every night. A 2000 Jeep XJ, a 2000 Dodge van, and a 2004 Chevy 2500HD 4x4. All of them have been well maintained and all of them operate flawlessly. None have rust and are driven daily.
Even if there is a dollar to be saved or an added luxury item gained I personally feel it is not worth the damage to our overall economy to send my money to a foreign country by purchasing their products. Sometimes it is unavoidable because certain things are not even made here anymore, but when I can I buy US made products.
If you think this is stupidity,that I am costing myself money, or that I am comprimising the quality of items I own then all I can say is I challenge you to look deeply at the big picture of the economic impact on the US before you do it again. It is a free country, do what you wish. Just don't complain when the effects begin to affect you more clearly.
