I'll keep buying American cars and major ticket items... simply because they aren't foreign. All my American cars etc have been fine vehicles and held up well with the exception of one Buick lemon. It was a company car and spent 7 of it's first 13 months in the shop. We then got rid of it, but I'll keep buying American. As far as the rest of the "do-dads"... I'll buy what works best for me whether it be foreign or American made.... unless it's French.... then I don't buy it.
