Part of the problem in is your living in a materialistic world. You need to take a long road trip and look at the way people live. You would not believe how many people out there are living in the crappiest apartments with bugs running around but drive modded out cars that cost 3 times as much as a comparably modded out Yaris. You also see places where people own nice homes that are driving new cheap stock cars or junkers because they are sinking there money into the house but not there rides.

There are groups of people on both sides of this and none of them are better than the next. You live the life of what you want to live just be happy with it.

I’m sure you have been talking to someone about sports and they said “my team” did this. So he owns the team? No. So he plays for the team? No. So he has stock in the team? No. So they pay you in some way to do something for the team? No. Then why dose he call it “my team”? because he came form a materialistic generation.

I’m all most 98% with you on this. I tossed in a rear sway bar to make it handle better because I spend 20+ hours in my car most weeks. If I tossed out 300 pounds of the crap I needed for my job then I would not need the sway bar.

And they think some how my Yaris killed the economy and auto sales...
Some one needs to reread the NAFTA agreement and play by there rules. If a part is made out of the USA and repacked in the USA with a bunch of paperwork and meat the conditions then you can toss the made in the USA on it. I can think of a few plants I have been in that have departments that repack over seas parts and call it made in the USA.
