If I remember right, Wags drives a Nissan Titan, which happens to be my dream truck, if they would only put in a diesel!! So yes, I agree, he has great taste in trucks!!

Yes I am on my second Titan. Great truck made here in the USA using 60% US parts. I have owned 3 Dodges as well and was very pleased with their performance. Only problem with the Dodge was theft. Too easy to steal. I am hoping by now they have changed some things.
I am going to run this Titan till it can't run no more. ;D

Easiest way to keep a Dodge from being stolen? MOVE to the west side of the state!!
Eastside?
That may have something to do with it.
Heavy D I have ownwed Fords as well. I had a Ranger with the 4.0 six motor that was made in Germany. I put 80,000 miles on it working all over the country. My nephew bought it from me and put another 100K on it. The body rusted off of it and it was still running.

What year were those Dodges you owned previously to the Titan and how can we get you back in a Dodge and out of the import??? Remember the profits go back to Japan.

Not an import, and not true. More money from that Titan stays in the USA than from any Dodge built in Mexico. And they are all built in Mexico.
Let's see.
I had a Dodge van down in Florida with a 318 in it. Loved that motor. I think it was a 92.
I then had a 96 4x4 V10 4 door with a 8' bed. You almost needed a ladder to get in it. LOL!
My wife hated to drive it because it was huge. I loved that truck. It was stolen out of my driveway and became involved in a high speed chase. I purchased a 2004 Dodge Ram which by the way, to this day, is one of the most stolen vehicles of all time. It had the smaller V8. Great running motor. It was stolen out of my driveway and found in the French City on blocks. I went to the source and got the skinny on how easy it was to steal. I won't discuss it here on line.
Isn't Chrysler an Italian Company now? ;)
Don't get hung up on where the company profit is spent. That is the smallest portion of the dollars produced. All car companies are pretty much world companies now. Look for percentage of US made parts and point of assembly.
Another aspect may be your political affiliation. As the Unions continue to dump their members dues behind more and more liberal candidates such as our current office holder, I prefer to spend my money where it does not get contributed against my vote. :(

Just so everyone is smarter after reading this: Chrysler is currently
65% owned by Americans - the UAW.
25% by Fiat (great owners as demonstrated in the last 12 months - also owns Masseratti and affiliated with Ferrari), and now just 10% owned by the US Government. The loan by uncle sam is currently mortgaged at 21% (Sergio is trying to get a more favorable 6%, but guess what government is stonewalling the proceedings), so when the loan is paid back (3 yrs ahead of schedule), the US tax payers will still get approx $4 billion in interest.
I appreciate a person who votes with their dollars, we all do in one way or another, so Wags standing firm on his plank is rightful.
My take on the Import vs US Made:
When you buy a car that rolled off a local assembly line, you support 5000 - 10,000 people who work in the neighborhoods all around you, be it GM, Ford or Chrysler. You buy a Toyota - you support a local town in texas, BMW - a local town in South Carolina and so on ....... what hurts america is that all car companies practice "karitsu" meaning (for example - Nissan's their tier 1, 2 and 3 suppliers are all back in Japan, and you are supporting those towns). Cities like Warren, Sterling hts, madison hts, livonia, pontiac, all had 100,000s of jobs as tier 1, 2 and 3 companies building small parts for the factories here because of low, low shipping costs. When those factories left (due to bloated labor practices, UAW inefficiencies and poor management decisions and poor product), so did those tooling and suppliers jobs. So if the product built locally is good, buy it. If it is poor, use your dollars to vote until they give you a good product (Why cant you Michigan ppl use this same philosophy on Ford field !! Quit supporting a bad product !! Except the team is going be ok this year :o)
All three of the "global" car companies who have their home headquarters here in Michigan are all pumping out great product, so go check em out.
Mojo - the more I read your posts, the more I like you!
I like Ford trucks. If I had the money I'd get a ferrari though, but I hear it's really expensive to get a trailer hitch put on one. I'm not sure if they have four wheel drive either.

For those interested, you can get information on percent of US parts and origin of assembly here.
This is a moving % from year to year as well.

I cant believe it... it was the last day I saw him. Came down stairs and Wags called me to grab a controller cause he wanted to play some slot cars. So we did. Half hour later we agreed he won cause he smoked me no matter what car I put on the track so we went back to painting. But we played and goofed like we usually did. Like two kids goofin. So what that my final painted crankbait got him laughin, and they named it, rightfully so, gizzard perch.
But I'm convinced it will catch fish. The new color will be called Wagon Summer .........................
David did come back to the house for two reasons (1) to qoute me on a bunch of contractor work type stuff i need done, and (2) to pick up his sunglasses. we had a two hearted and bs'ed about fishing and the daytona 500 that was on tv later that day we finished our beers and he left for home in time to see the start of the race. I was ready to call him yesterday for an update on the quote, but i shed a tear instead....
