Also, since Il just went the way of CaCaLand with its statewide no-bail, etc crappola; work in Il is impossible. Leave the state while you can. The cancer of Chicago will spread. Go now while there are still people stupid enough to buy the land you left.
Ripple effects thru the local economy are going to be ugly. Sad.
35 rand = $2.02. I wish I could find a truck that cheap.
They certainly did, voting for Biden and Co. They cut their own throats.
Bella ciao.
What are you talking about? The last 2 years, McConnell has been out of power! This is all on Biden and his dem cronies.
The 12/31/2021 Stellantis NV 2021.12.31 Annual Report and Form 20-F lists 91,289 North American Employees which is for US, Canada and Mexico.

United States:

But, but I thought the Mexicans were coming here to work! So Jeep is going to them?
Back in 1975 I bought a VW THING made in Mexico. It fell apart.(and I do mean fell apart!)
In 2001 I bought a Dodge Truck made in Mexico. It still runs good but the plastic dash and glove box have shattered into dozens of pieces.
Will Jeep be next?
The power window failed on my daughter’s Chrysler minivan. Quite a lot of “stuff” in the doors these days. It was a full day job, but thanks to a YouTube guy fairly well documented.
When local NAPA had the part on the shelf I knew immediately this was a common failure. Counter guy said he sells a couple a week. It’s not the motor that fails but the cable mechanism.
LOL...I also know that feeling of owning something that everybody wants....a 2001 Dodge Ram diesel. None of that def nonsense. Get offers for it all the time. A new one would cost me more than I paid for my first 2 houses...:)
I put east KY coal (via barge) into Belvy for several years, blended with IL coal by truck.
Those were good years...
That remains to be seen.
My dad has a late 90s or early 00s diesel longbed Dodge truck 4WD that he has been offered tons o money for. Hasn’t sold and I wouldn’t either.
I’d have it in short bed form.
Transmissions are German……….
No vehicle is completely made in its home country.
Toyota are made in kentucky and Mexico, BMWs are made in South Carolina and on and on.
Also my 2018 Wrangler has the 3.6 Pentastar engine by Fiat and it hasn’t given me a moments problem.
History will be severe with this generation.
Odd. I’m sure there are enough Mexicans in Illinois to man the plant. /s
