We can't even build gas-guzzlers.

A family friend and reader (Hi, B!) snapped this photo of a Ford F-650 up near Champions. When I first saw these things I thought, "Oh well. At least there are a bunch of people in Michigan building them and getting steady pay checks." Wrong. The Ford F-650 is built in Escobedo, Mexico.

So, hey. If you are lusting after that Acura but feel guilty about buying foreign, no worries. It's built in Ohio.

Mentally handicapped. :-p

Being endowed like a child doesn't count as handicapped, just un-hung.

If that Ford can roll over one of these that get in the way, I might have to buy me one.

I have heard a theory that Chrysler will soon only build cars in the Valley of Chrysler near Saltillo. And be entirely an importer.

Chrysler will be a Fiat importer for any cars.

I suppose they'll still build minivans somewhere in North America.
