I grew up in Anderson, Indiana which had 2 major GM plants. General Motors FINALLY had enough of the UAW local and after about 70 years just moved out.

I have access to a GM employee discount - and I still bought a foreign car. The auto unions are utterly out of control.
To: Lijahsbubbe
Go South and see those foreign automobile assembly plants in full swing mode.
Oh yes, forgot to mention that these plants are non union.
By the way, pay and benefits are good.

Presumably a pro-Kerry bumpersticker would be alright?
Scum.

I have no problems with workers uniting for a better wage or working conditions. Thir labor is a comodity that has worth that like anything else in the capitalist system can be nagotiated.
BUT...unions have crossed the line by becoming the lapdogs of the democrat party and joining their left wing Anti-American causes.
Time to choose...your nation at a time of war, or their political affiliation.

I was a member of the UAW back in the 70s. Their only objective is to advance the Union agenda and care little or nothing about the rank and file members.
Death to the Union.

No more so-called American cars for me.
I've had good luck with Camrys, Accords and Maximas.
They're mostly made in the USA, anyway!
To: Lijahsbubbe
Not surprising at all to find the UAW backing AlQaeda and Saddam Hussein ~ it's their taste for plastic shredders or something.

Their only objective is to advance the Union agenda and care little or nothing about the rank and file members. I agree. Just an arm of the DNC.
I believe there is an increasing polarization of the UAW and the members.
To: RightWinger
Mine's a Volkswagen. Fabulous automobile; good mileage, fun to drive, and extremely reliable. A comparably-equipped car made by one of the Big Three would have cost as much anyways.
My grandpa was an engineer for one of the Detroit automakers. Even back in the 60s and 70s, when he bought a new car he followed it through the assembly line to make sure the workers didn't screw it up. He was a realistic man!
To: Lijahsbubbe
Nowadays "American" cars are made from a lot of parts from all over the world. One thing I find annoying (as someone who does a lot of my own maintenance) is that you have to own two sets of tools, as the vehicles have both metric and SAE fasteners on them.
Oh, and the UAW can go $%@# themselves.

Here's the letter I sent to: 'uawsolidarity@uaw.net'
Dropping Escalade for FX
If its asking too much for you to support our troops, well just send a few more of your jobs overseas.
I will now purchase the Infiniti FX rather than your Escalade.

"That does it...I'm buying a foreign car."
What is a "foreign" car anymore? The big three are in bed with just about all auto manufacturers.
A neighbor of mine bought a Mercury Villager only to have me tell him it is basically a Nissan Quest. The guy bought a "foreign" vehicle and didn`t even know it.
And some vehicles badged as foreign are actually designed by American auto manufacturers.
Be careful what you buy, you never know nowadays.
To: Disambiguator
Been there, done that. I bought a Jeep back when AMC owned the company. I believe the body was made in Canada. You had to have SAE tools for the engine and metric for everything else. Also many parts were farmed out to other auto makers. If you went to a parts place and asked for a clutch for an AMC Jeep, they'd say they didn't have it, but if you said it was for a chevy, it was in the books. Most of the farmed out parts were not cross referenced in the parts books, you just had to learn where the hell the parts came from. I eventually taught that Jeep how to roll over, and play dead.
