    I highly recommend watching 'American Factory' on Netflix, try HARD not to laugh at the part where the lady stated she was making $29 per hour working for GM now she makes $12 per hour working for the Chinese. And notice the workers are up to the same crap again working for the Chinese, some people just never learn the irony.

    You can buy an awful nice Pete for that kind of money, and it makes you money to boot. I guess you could make money with an Escalade in the right "buisness."

    It's sad the the foreign companies like Honda and Toyota make more vehicles here in the U.S. with American made parts than any of our domestic companies.

    True. My Toyota has a Tesla motor in it...
    My 2001 Explorer had a German engine and French transmission

    Me. Not a Tesla because I don’t like the looks of it, but after Ford or Chevy work the bugs out of theirs I will be driving one. Have you done any research on how an electric car drives and performs? My wife’s Tesla can easily hang with a Porsche from 0-60. An electric motor is instant power, there is no lag. The unlimited free supercharging for life, doesn’t hurt either.

    They have from time to time nice restored examples of older land cruisers
