That must have been the "good no rattle experimental Vette" they
built!!!! Too bad they couldn't do the rest. You sound rediculous.
Every long term test of Vette's complained of rattles and fit and
finish. Oh, and learn someting aboat cars. An Acura NSX is twice the
Vette and with a far more refined suspension system..

You really live in the past Boob****. People haven't bitched about
Vette rattles for years. That's old school. The current Corvette is
considered a world class high performance sports car for a bargain
price. And wait until the new ZO6 hits the street. As far as the NSX
goes all everybody ever says is that it's a reliable mid engine sports
car. Nobody has ever just reviewed/compared it on it's merits alone.

niche. So how many PhD's does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Praise!

I'd be more concerned by how many it takes to design one.

How about you Frenchie?

For starters, your boat was positively NOT made in England. It was
also not made in the US. I did the research and found out where a boat
virtually identical to yours was built, and it sure wasn't from
England!

Were you aware that "American" cars have a large percentage of parts
made in mostly Asian countries? A LARGE percentage.

Same goes for Harley.

Unless your boat has been repowered since it was brought to the States
as an IMPORT, the Ford engine was not U.S. made. They have plants all
over the world.

Chances are excellent that your "American made" sails were cut and
stitched here out of materials made in another country.

You probably also frequent Dunkin Donuts without realizing it's owned
by the French.

Do Americans make any consumer products these days? I know you have it
all over bombs, guns and spaceships but what about ordinary stuff?

welders, boats, cooking utensils, bbq grills, molded rubber products,
ceramics, epoxies and resins, pens, pencils, tires, light bulbs, rope,
envelopes, nose hair removers and beauty products.

Do any work with carbon arc lamps?

Glory!

I don't look at this from an economic point of view but the political
and social points of view. The question really is whether America can
remain a great power or a dominant power if it becomes a primarily
service economy, and I doubt that. A country has to have an industrial
base in order to play a significant role in the world. And I am
concerned from that point of view.


America is the greatest world power.

America has a service based economy.

A service based economy can be the world power.


America does have a great industrial base. Cars are a commodity, labor
costs
are a big factor for commodities.

America leads in aircraft manufacturing. Aircraft are using more and more
composites so traditional machinists are being displaced.
America leads the world in financial services.
America leads the world in investment potential.
America leads the world in paper production, electrical generation, rocket
production, aluminum production, arms manufacturing, medicine,
pharmaceticals, house building, oil refining etc.

Everything America leads the world requires the workforce be highly
education. Education drives unions and low skilled labor away. Send jobs
for
the ignorant to China - keep the Commies stupid.

I'm not worried at all. America will always be first in the hardest, most
sophisticated industrial arenas. Leave the easy stuff for foriegners.

Amen!

Yeah real short sighted self centered Americans do so....Thats the
problem.


Clowns like Bobspirt think they help Americans when they buy a toyota
ect because they are put together here, citing the American workers who
benefit from the purchase of a Toyota ...you know the Teamsters, sales
personnel and service personnel.

These same people, however, would benefit from the purchase of a
U.S.-built vehicle. Additionally, the design, engineering, information
services, human resources, manufacturing and purchasing personnel, us
suppliers, the tier 1s 2s 3s etc., would also benefit from the purchase
of a U.S.-built car. Not so with the Jap crap.

Now that GM has announced its intentions to eliminate 30,000 U.S. jobs,
does Robert see how this could possibly affect him?

How bout you Beck?

There will potentially be 30,000 fewer Americans in the market for a
new or used home, to invest in the markets, to pay for college, to take
a vacation, to pay taxes, etc.

Unfortunately, too many people won't realize the flaw in their decision
not to buy American until it affects them personally, and then it will
be too late for all of us.

Have my own business , That would be an American business I fix cars, every
job I ever had was in America it is a service world in which we live!!!! Its
like I said about JUNK doesn't matter what name is on it.... But worked for
a toyota dealer for 20 years maintenance is a easy life!

The U.S auto manufacturers do not have a clue , dates back to the 70's just
give us the same old crap we'll buy it , almost sounds like a song. The
problem with the American econ is I'LL DRIVE WHAT DADDY DROVE!!! Stuck in a
rut...........The student is now teaching the teacher.... Welcome to
reality. World Market

Lincoln! ..

Hey indian, your a dimwit too when it comes to cars. I picture you as
driving an old F150. The Lincoln LS V8 Sport was designed to compete
with the BMW 540 and it does so for $15k-$20k less. It's not your
daddy's Lincoln. On top of that it's an American car vs a German car
and the LS has only a handfull of TSBs where as the 540 has over 50.
Why does every BMW owner say "trade it in before the warranty expires"
