So when you "Buy American" are you really sure it's American?
    In many cases, foreign makers have plants here because of unfair market protection quotas from the 1980s, so buying Honda is as American as apple pie! :-)

        not to get off topic - but I saw a story on the news about which cars are really american made - honda and toyota's were like 90% while a chevy was around 50% - I'm pulling these numbers out of my butt, however it was a huge diff. I have a chevy POS and that thing is mostly made in Canada.
