Re: Pimp My Ride

My ride came pre-pimped. Wish I waited until the following year, when it came with a supercharger standard! :mad:

I think mine was made in Mexico. Whatever the case I don't care. Make a better quality product would be the logical first step rather than bitching about foreign competition. The commercial with Bill Ford touting his company annoys the hell out of me as I just bought a $37,000.00 Ford truck that has been in for service several times before I have even hit 1500 miles.

Re: Pimp My Ride

First of all I was not bitching about foreign competition. The domestic vehicles are well engineered and competitive products. Apparently you agree cause I dont see you working out of a Toyota. The reason General motors lost 27 million dollars a DAY in 2005 was not because of inferior product, it was because of high operating costs due to union benefits namely health care and pensions and a decline in SUV sales due to gas prices. I think this will be worked out, the days of making 25$ an hour to push a button unfortunately for UAW I think will becoming to a close. As far as the outsourcing goes, that is needed to stay competive with the foreign competitors, even still GM has way more jobs in the USA than say, Toyota.... look it up.

Re: Pimp My Ride

Just googled the jobs.

All Japanese auto company US jobs = less than 56,000


GM = 181,000

This does not include all the retirees that are hiring electricians and spending money here in the USA. So if the product is good which I think it is, why not buy american?

Easy enough to figure out...check the VIN #. VINs starting with:
1 - USA
2 - Canada
3 - Mexico
J - Japan
K - Korea
S - England
W - Germany
Z - Italy

Re: Pimp My Ride

Well dang it, good ole US of A.


The reason I don't drive a Toyota work truck might be because one does not exist. Tough to get good ladder racks for a corrolla. :p

Re: Pimp My Ride

Shoot me first before I work out of a pickup truck.

That should keep this thread going. :D
Well I am comforted by the fact you would rather buy American than be SHOT! :D :D

Edir to add: Hey Scott did you check that VIN?
