U own a thirdgen. Are your other vehicles American made?
I'm defining American made as built in this country by Ford/GM/Chrysler. Also accept Canadian and Australian vehicles of the above mentioned.
That little blurb in Hot Rod or Car Craft is true. A foreign company car built here benefits 6 people here whereas a car built here by the big three benefits like 20+. Go dig it up, its out there if google long enough lol
Everything I own was built here in the USA and my entire families fleet, me, my folks, both brothers and there wifes, even my nephews car are big three made here in the USA.
I just dont feel right supporting companies other than domestic ones, even if they beat us down and take away our beloved F bodies(hopefully to be shortlived).
So what is the makeup of your personal fleet?
I have 3 birdies and a Saturn, so I'm 100% USA made. I'm even looking for a domestic replacement beater lol
Just keep it clean and factual, no flaming or bashing, just seeing who has what and I'm sure it will spark some interest :-)

I currently have the TA and Sierra. When shopping for a car im not really looking if its american or not though. If I could have any car realistically it would probably be an acura.

Man lots of you guys are 100% that's awesome. I keep tryin to convince the parents they need to buy something American but...
91 Camaro
93 Cavalier
02 Acura TL-S
99 VW Jetta
99 VW Beetle
99 Hyundai Sonata
So basically I'm the only one that buys American in the family, my old man owned a 96 Intrepid that broke down constantly including a couple times right by the Dan Ryan on Halsted when he was wearing a suit, not exactly a great situation. So he refused to buy them, but come on that's a freakin Dodge anyways

50% but there's a few gray areas.
1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX built in Normal, IL by a Japanese company but the exact same car named Eagle Talon would be considered a domestic.
2001 Infiniti QX4 built in Japan by Japanese company. Based on Nissan Pathfinder.
1999 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 built in Canada by US company
1989 Pontiac Firebird Turbo Trans Am built in USA by US company
