I'm originally from Michigan and I had this argument with 2 uncles who retired from GM... "Blake... what are you doing buying that foreign crap?" I respond with the Mississippi thing and how GM is partially assembled in Mexico... They didn't want to hear this so we took a little drive around the Lansing area... They shut up real quick when we drove by the closed Oldsmobile plant and then I asked why did GM ask for all that money from the government? I then asked why the "Big 3" all had to ask for money when Nissan didn't? Hmmm... Smart business ventures 20 years ago and planning for this to happen? It ended up with neither uncle giving a crap about Nissan or other "foreign" vehicles... I guess I'm not a patriot for buying a truck assembled in Mississippi...
