Just curious as I would like to send out some poos and need them arriving fresh.
Just place them in a bag and light it on fire. Easy breezy

He can't be serious, everyone including manufacturers know businesses rely global economy now and cars use parts manufactured all over the planet.
But if you want to get technical the Torsen Limited slip diff was designed and originally build by an American, everything else in the car seems to be made in Japan or Taiwan, the design team and engineering team also probably had an American.

I can see it now, this thread is going to untangle itself and people are going to make some poor judgement in the comments everyone has stereotypes about some country there's no reason to perpetuate them on the forum.....

I am not sure if "designed in USA" will be enough, but I have iPhone so you have my vote :-) Thanks for helpful comment.

No offense, but in terms of losing market share, the English, German, and Italian auto manufacturers have more to fear from Japan and Korea than from Eastern Europe.


For American cars, I'd rather have (not in order):

Edit: Anyway, even if you dont make anything for twins, it is very nice that you have so many of them.

My friend is a real JDM fanboy and you wouldnt like picture he sent me yesterday.

No offense taken, I dont like most of them (European cars) and I dont have money for the good ones. But I wouldnt buy Korean either.
