    Up until recently I would have said the same thing , Never been a foreign car in my family right up until the next one. Made in USA means zilch now. NOTHING is all US made anymore and IF it was, NO ONE could afford it. Rich, middle and the low classes in particular.Some US made cars are junk in so many ways a complete scrapping of the product lines and machinery would be nessesary to bring it all up to world class again.
    Pay as you go is the only way to go. Living within your means. Means paying as you go + not hawking yourself up to your eyeballs.
    I have had ONE loan in my life, ONE and it was a C4D on my lake place. I got out from under it in 4 years by working two jobs and selling an old car now + again. (because of this, my credit is nonexistant -so what) I also paid CASH for my current house and am fixing it up as I go w CASH -NO loans. Yes, I have bought new cars, BUT IN CASH and have not for quite some time. NOT because I cannot ,but because I have yet to find one US or foreign I want to pay that much money for. IF anyone US or offshore comes up w a car that gets 45-50+ MPG and has power enough to climb a hill w a small boat on the back AND costs UNDER 9K ,I'll buy it. Until them I'll live w my 3 yo. 24 MPG Jimmy and fix it as I go. (Yes it does have good ol' hotrodder help getting it.)
