I think its time to ditch the Powerstroke name. Scorpion sounds good to me. http://www.sema.org/Main/ArticleDetail.asp...contentID=60079

Two can play at this game. Lets compare the 2006 Tundra to a 2006 F-150, shall we. P thinks he is slick by digging up old and irrelevant shit to bash Ford. He needs to find a girlfreind or something!

Ya, the fact that its a blast to drive has nothing to do with it, right Matt?

Right in the nutsack.. LOL!

Its never going to be a Porsche Lee!

I disagree.

Like it or not, you have to admit, the thing is tuff. The mirror survived a roll over.

Matt, Matt, Matt, ignorance is bliss! The few vehicles that you are so quick to list off, make up Toyotas overall domestic content as a whole, which is around 47%. It has been proven that Toyota contracts parts out to Tokai Craft, A company said to practice slave labor. Its easy to make a profit on the Prius when you are paying someone 5 cents a day to make parts. Toyota is not stupid, they knew they had to build the flag ship models here and call them "American". But half of what they sell is imported from overseas and contain ZERO domestic content. Ford on the other hand contains 82% domestic content and has not been linked to slave labor.

Slave labor wins everytime

You got it!

I think it is cool. So you are saying I have something wrong with me? What are your credentials Matt! You wind up fire hoses for a living right?

WOW! Opinions are like assholes! That thing is bad ass! I thought Saleen used the name "Racecraft"?

They cancelled the 2000 Cobra because of HP issues and only made the R. I think they made a limited run of Cobras in 2002.

HaHa, Thats OK. It is "race car exempt", just fill out the paperwork every two years and send it in to the EPA. Even better, they just did away with smog testing cars older than (OBD 2) 1996 in Illinois. The cats are coming off the Cobra as well. Its not like it gets driven on the streets very often.

That is my 91 Saleen that I purchased brand new. I also have a black 93 Cobra. I spent way to much money on the Saleen using credit cards when I was young.

It becomes difficult when you have a Mustang sitting in the garage begging for go-fast parts doesn't it?

80% of working Americans have credit card debt according to talk show host Dave Ramsey. People call his show everyday, unable to figure out why they are broke when they are paying on two car payments and a mortgage. They are usually upside down on the car loans and do not want to sell them. I was thinking that the average credit card debt was higher than 8,500, but I know its up there. I only have one credit card for weekly gas and groceries. I've never had a problem paying it off in full each month.

I'm an idiot; Thanks

Correct! Each country has either a comparative advantage meaning it can produce an item at a lower opportunity cost, or an absolute advantage and can produce using lower resources. The US has a lot of farm land, so it can be said that we might have an absolute advantage over other contries growing produce.

I am getting sick and tired of the fuck-heads that bring up flag waving when someone tries to reason with why supporting America is important! Spend your money any way you please! BUT do not try to justify to me and the rest of us why you bought an American assembled foreign car. It may give some a false sense of justification, but they are only telling one side of the story.

I don't know if this was brought up or not. I know here in Chicago they use a large amount of retired Police Vic's in most of the Taxi fleets. Many departments have switched over to the Caprice/Impala, what ever. Their won't be as many Vic's to choose from so Taxi companies will either have to buy whats available, or purchase new if they want to stay with the Vic.

Ford GM, and Chrysler represent the largest source of corporate research and development in America, In Michigan alone, more than 65,000 R&D workers represent a $10 billion/year investment. Foreign auto manufacturers only employee about 3,500 people in R&D here. A Mexican assembled Fusion in my driveway is more likely to get my neigbor into a Ford showroom than a Honda Accord will. I know this first hand. My elderly neigbor purchased a Ford Taurus because he was 'impressed' with my Ford product and he felt safer buying what I drove. This is one example of the many Fords that I helped sell.

How many Americans do Hyundai and Honda employee compaired to the Big Three? How much do they spend in America in R & D compaired to the Big Three? Does having an American assembled Hyundai or Honda in my drive sell more foreign cars through free advertising? Does the Big Three contribute to the economy more than the transplants? Do transplant auto manufacturers get huge tax breaks to build factories in right to work states? Can you answer any of these questions?
