Exclamation For all of the Made in USA folks.....

Are you aware that ALL of Chrysler's Hemi engines are made in Mexico.....??

I went to my local NAPA store today.....wanted a complete set of V-Belts for my 300D, the NAPA better line, Made in USA, Metric Sized....had to order a couple......will be picking them up next week.....will cost me nearly $20 for the set than it would have cost with Phil and Performance Products.....BUT they will be Made in USA

I believe in Made in USA products, and I ask for them.....

I also live in a very Rural area, so I do my best to purchase some of my parts from my local parts folks......but only if they can furnish USA made stuff.....

Since any MB OEM Part is not USA made.....I feel no guilt when purchasing parts from elsewhere.....

SB

Oh yeah......China will be the "Big Dog" shortly....get used to the idea, or remain on the porch......
