The home office and top executives are in the United States. That's about it.

My own 1993 Accord and my mom's brand new Accord were both built right here in the USA. Spooky, huh? It kind of reinforces the fact that we as Americans are more than capable of producing quality vehicles, yet profit margins are more important than the number of people that buy American cars to the Big Three (and a half). What shortsightedness...and that is the true shame.

After hackers attacked and destoyed intelforums, I've been killing time here. Nothing like losing 1000s of hours and dollars all because some 13 year old punk has nothing better to do.

Anyway, the hauling ass point is pretty mute. A TT Mark IV Supra without any money in mods is more than enough to take nearly any stock Mustang ever produced. I find the TT Supra to be less reliable due to a few electrical and cooling gremlins than normal cars from Japanese manufacturers, but still.

My 96 Explorer has been what I consider to be "good to me."

I bought it with 99k, and now with 113k the tranny is starting to get weak. The O2 sensors are shot. The belt tensioner, and thermostat have been replaced. Fuel pump is getting noisy, the U-joints need replacement, the front differential is leaking a little, and one of the hub bearings is going out.
