Did you ever get out of school yet? You have no clue in what you're talking about. Why don't you send a message to Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Illinois that they don't deserve a paycheck because the name of what they are building isn't American. Again I have to say this. You definitely have electronics or you wouldn't be here. Now guess where you're electronics come from? You're dispictable for buying a foreign product. I bet you even have Wrangler jeans in your closet. How much of your clothing comes from overseas? You need to look into that mirror of yours and state that staement again. Sorry the mirror is made in Korea. ###$$$$ These same foreigners take business loans and free college at the expense of American kids and you have the audacity to not even consider a very reliable well performing american built vehicle. ##### You don't know 1/8 of the people who own a Toyota to even say this. By the way I owned all big 3 and recently had Ford's and GM. If you want to complain about the free college and business loans go talk to Nancy Pelosi and she will tell you you're "Un-American" for not helping these people. You need to think before you just write anything that comes to mind. No need to reply to the rest of your ramblings because that's exactly what they are. You want to talk economics we can but you're far from talking anything truthful or factual here. Oh by the way how American is your trucks when they are "SUB-ASSEMBLED" in Mexico? Where does most of your parts come from???? You need to go back to school because you forgot one thing, that is to graduate and actually learn something. From Anonymous:

I mean anything from those two countries. Do your homework and buy only American or non Asian products. It is time we took our country back. I for one have started a movement in my city with fliers and advertising to make people aware of the dwindling american manufacturing sector and the future of our kids. All Americans from this day forward take pride in your country and stop feeding the enemy. Remember very soon your children will feel the effects of the choices we make now. Talk to your friends about the purchases they make and convince them of the importance of this issue. Refrain from buying anything from Japan or China. I mean anything from those two countries.

There are enough choices to make everyone happy. People who cant see the beauty and reliability in the new american cars and opt for a camry or altima are just downright unpatriotic. Men from this country have given their lives so this country could prosper and these weenie boys who buy foreign cant even do this small thing to support our economy. Most foreigners deep inside despise the american way and fight at every turn to keep their own cultures while pretending to be true Americans. These same foreigners take business loans and free college at the expense of American kids and you have the audacity to not even consider a very reliable well performing american built vehicle. The Japanese government and country which you support both idealogically and economically hates the American way. If you will recall they tried to destroy our way of life only a generation back. You people disgust me. When I drive down the road and i see someone in a foreign car I immediately place them down a notch as an American. For Gods sake wake up. If this love of all foreign does not change then very soon(very soon) the US will be a third world country with slave wages and no rights. Remember the only true freedom comes from economic freedom. Just think if things dont change and you as Americans dont wake up you will be able to drive a ten year old Corolla to the gravel pit where you work 16 hours a day with two breaks for a $100 a week. Stop while theres still a chance. Americans have no pride.They says its a choice but in reality it is unpatriotic not to buy an American vehicle if it is well built.

That's a huge improvement. Those times should beat most naturally aspirated trucks on the road. Cody – Those numbers sound good – especially with the Bully Dog GT. That’s a huge improvement.

Torque management is the only problem I see with the truck, but is good to have when you need it. For those of you that like performance like myself, here are some numbers. I have 3:55 gears: Stock 0-60 7.3seconds @ 15.4 Quartermile Bully Dog GT Installed: 0-60 6.3seconds @ 14.7 Quartermile Flowmaster 50 series: Sounds Great, No difference in performance AFE Stage 2 Installed: TBA I have smoked Chevy's (and I've always been a Chevy Man, My last truck was a Avalanche 2500 with the 8.1liter) Ford's, and Tundra's. I havn't raced the Titan yet, but I hear they're fast. Just sharing info, no reply's wanted.

As long as they win. The crap I give my wife is that the Jags former QB (Leftwhich) is backup QB on the Steelers and he'll have a chance to get a ring before her Jags the irony in that.

Lincoln said it best: "Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection." Passionate arguments aside, I agree that this is the greatest country on God's earth, and we all do in fact have freedom of choice in how we worship, how we vote, and what we buy. I would not wish it any other way. We can simply agree to disagree. Lastly: Big fan of Kurt Warner, and I miss the old St. Louis football Cardinals. My wife I think is secretly in love with Kurt Warner, so at least we'll be rooting for the same team. Will have to just keep wiping off the slobber off the screen. Cards are on a HOT STREAK---still prognosticating 31-17 Big Red! Thank you, both Jason and Mickey.

Hince they won't buy american made vehicles that only get 20mpg. They would go broke. Not to mention most roasds over there aren't as wide as ours and you suburban won't fit so how do you plan on beating those issues. Build better efficient vehicles that can be used and it will increase overseas. Namely one Ford Ranger is one of the most exported vehicles we have. Not matter what John I'm buying what is the best for my dollar including quality. I will give you congrats on the Cardinals. I will go for them also. My wife likes Pittsburgh so I'm on the other side. Plus my team even though I don't live there no more is the Saints and your Cards are an NFC team so I stay in my conference. My wife's actual team is the Jags and like you I will laugh at her on that. John your point well taken about the toaster. Hell I haven't actually look for one of those in quite some years to know who makes them.
