Oh I agree, no problem with anyone purchasing any make, but I do have a problem with the misguided thinking we are "anti American" by purchasing a foreign brand.

Foreign brand-I do not consider it (Z), a foreign brand. I know your not referring to it(Z), as a foreign brand. But, you are referring to the people that suffer from idiopathic mental capacity.

I don't consider it a foreign brand either. My statement was to the ignorant "buy American" haters who "think" they know what is American made versus a foreign brand. As was discussed in previous posts, everything from design to parts to assembly to sales is a conglomeration of origins.

Hey John, I included you. I know you well enough, that your not referring to it(Z), as a foreign brand. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear in my post.
