In all Mountain Bike Owners Manuals it tells you that the warranty is void if you ride the bike offroad... lol
Kinda the same thing with that vehicle. Easy out for warranty issues.

When the Kawsake mules roll out of NE, where do the profits go?????? Obviously there are plenty of products that compete with american made and the foreign product are in fact better............Cameras, TVs, electronics.... Last I checked, a Kow Mule isn't an automobile. America still has the best cars and trucks in the world, pindikks that buy foreign don't have a clue.  Park you foreign sh!t in DETROIT, go ahead, see what happens I have banned myself from this thread now

There are plenty of foreign named cars built in America and vice versa, it's a crap shoot nowadays. Honda is a foreign named car built in the states and is one of the best made vehicles, they also have a good resale value.
Unfortunately "buy American" is not as easy as it once was. The whole China imported toy recall going on right now is a prime example. A local news channel went to serveral toy stores trying to find an American made toy and couldn't find any.

You are right! Mexico makes the best tail lights! That's why that put them on the best cars!
No, the main profits don't go to the US, but he has made a comfortable living for him and his family for about 25 years from them. My point was, we can foreign bash all we wasn't, but some people benefit from foreign companies. A lot of people have no clue that may foreign cars and other products are assembled in the USA at least giving us some benefit, while US companies are having foreign countries make our parts.
How much of our car is actually made in the USA? I know the tail lenses are made in Mexico, I know when i was working on my stereo i saw other "made in stamps" behind the dash, that were not USA. It's pretty much impossible to buy something that is truly "Made in the USA"
But, hey i like em all.
I've owned German (do you really need that many parts to do something simple?) Japanese (mostly good quality albeit a bit bland, and some rust issues)
I have several Pontiac Fieros and i know one thing, in the 80's, boy the American cars didn't quite have it together. Most everything was built like those black roof rails on the H3. Really cheap and fragile.
We can't laugh too much at the FJ when we have our share of problems, like the valve/head problems. Mine went through it, luckily before the warranty was out. But what if it was out. No recall yet on the engines. My H3 wasn't even fit for on road use.
Still, I love my H3 and I'm proud that American assembled products are of greater quality then ever.

I am neither sensitive or un-American, nice try with the Bush administration trick though.
I'm simply saying "buy American" is nowhere near as easy as it once was.

The politics started with the comment about not being American.

sorry ockie but I always feed the "Trolls"
I liked it pool_shark. Made me chuckle, in part because buyng american (let me expand this properly to say buying North American, because american cars are also built in Canada and Mexico) is as simple as: GM, Chrysler and Ford???? 
I better move on, this is a no hater forum
