Hecho en Mexico
On the freeway today a Ford Focus passed me with a bumper sticker that said:
"Want to save your job? Buy American"
Obviously whoever drove that car thought they were in an American car, but they weren't. The Ford Focus is produced in Hermosillo, Mexico. Their bumper sticker was pretty much slapping themselves in the face. Just because you own a Ford, or a GM, does not mean you own an American car.
So what's "American"? A Ford made in Mexico or a Honda made in Ohio. I vote for the Honda.
PS: Happy Birthday Nana!

Wow, that's funny. Those people probably think they're helping save their country with that helpful bumper sticker. :P
Well, the company [Ford] is still American owned. That's ultimately what counts. It's the same beef you have w/ Oprah: She's American, therefore, her money should go toward benefitting Americans. Ford may make their cars elsewhere (still in North America, mind you), but at least their money doesn't go back to Hong Kong (or some other foreign nation).
"Those people..." Give me a break, Kiki. Bumper stickers are the American way!
