They have drove up the price of every thing they produce that we all get stuck paying for


yeah, the north is awesome, and we're just a bunch of dumb rednecks down here..... if the quality of the cars coming out of detroit is any indicator of the 'quality work' that you guys do up north, no wonder we're in a world of hurt.... (yes, i know american quality is up, but there is still a long way to go. btw i drive a ford and a gm product)

Corporate greed is why the parts we buy are made it taiwan for pennies an hour. Then they charge as if it was made in the USA.

Like I always say; you live in a union of states, if you don't like it move!
