RE: Pimp My Ride Red Neck Style !!!
No bashing here...I previously had a 91 GMC Sierra and it was good to me. Unfortunately she was getting up in miles and was time to get a new truck. Based on what I liked...I found the new Chev, Dodge & Nissan didn't hold a candle to the Tacoma, so guess what I bought?

[/align]Every day, about one million Americans earn their living by helping GM build and sell cars in North America.
Every month, 457,000 retirees and their spouses count on GM for pension checks.
More than 1.1 million Americans receive health care benefits from GM.
GM’s contribution to the U.S. Gross National Product (GNP) is 4 times that of Toyota

[/align]My fellow hunters, it DOES matter what kind of car you drive. It matters for over 1 million American workers and 457,000 retirees that count on GM for their pension. It matters to the 1.1 million Americans that depend on GM for their health care.
I've already disproven the myth that Toyota quality exceeds GM (see my earlier post). I'm just trying to get the FACTS out so you guys can make an informed decision with DATA instead of heresay.

A guy wants to see pics of your rides and all a couple of fat heads can do is argue over foreign or domestic. You know who you are fat heads. Get a life.

I myself wish that we would all buy as much AMERICAN made products as possible. I am tired of my hunting stuff being made in China and all of the American jobs being farmed out to other countries. I guess the thread drifted a little from the original postbut that is what makes these forums great; controversy and freedom of expression and views.

FACTS DON'T MEAN ANYTHING!
If you want to talk about facts and how they are misleading just listen to all those big oil companies feeding us all about of crap.
They (oil companies. Exxon, Mobil, BR, etc.) try to tell us that more people are driving more cars than 10 years ago? Total BS!
Then they try to BS you by saying people are driving their cars more now than 10 years ago, again a bunch of horseskip.
Always remember the old saying, "You can't always believe what you hear or read" and FACTS are no different.
