Default what a guy I am

i just got home with my wife's Christmas present. I had to give it to her today, it's too big to hide, it's a brand new ford escape limited 4 wheel drive with all the goodies, she has been driving her toyota since we bought it new in 1997, so it was about time for a new one. :clap:

And Subaru, and Honda, and BMW, and Mercedes...

Chevy, Ford, Dodge - look in Canada or Mexico for them, except for their corporate offices. I guess that's what makes them an American company - having their corporate offices here.

Without asking for any bail out money! Sure the corporate profits goto Japan but all the taxes those workers pay stay in their hometowns and they buy groceries in their hometowns etc.
