Need a new vehicle

[freedivernd]

Hey detectorguy,
You know, it used to be that way for me up until about 20 years ago.. or maybe closer to 30 years ago.. Until then, it was easy to buy american but now, when you buy something like a honda accord it might just be saving a job in marysville, ohio where a lot of honda are built, and that, of course, is just one example.  And when you buy a ford or chevy, so many parts come from outside the u.s. it's crazy.  I remember back in my biking days (yup, 30 years ago I built choppers outta my garage.. coulda been another west coast choppers by now) and remember the grief I used to get from the harley guys for customizing and riding the rice burners (as the kawas and hondas of the day were called, maybe they still are, I don't know).. They'd be talking and let me tell you 30 years ago, the bikers sometimes did a lot more than talking.. harley riders.. buy american .. and all this &$%#, never bothered me but it sure bothered them when I would look their bike over and ask them where the heck does a keihin carburetor come from, guess where (japan).  And of course, they'd all be at the shop wondering where they could get a mikuni carb... and gees, guess where that comes from?  ahhhh the good old days....

You didn't offend me.. I'm just talking.. but right now, I couldn't bring myself to buy a Ford and my wife won't buy another Chevy.  It's just too bad that all my u.s. vehicles have been a dissapointment (no wait, I did like the old trans am and the olds toronado, do they still build them like that?).  Shoot, it almost sounds like I'm all for this global economy.. I never would have thought that, but I maybe have to accept it.. shoot, goes against most of what I believe too.

Hey, I was going to mention to sharkbait (Joe) that if he was looking for used that the edmunds website has a ton of information and reviews/ratings on used vehicles too.  you know, I think Chevy has a few new and used vehicles rated right up there too
