I just buyed rear tires to my Mustang from Germany, but there was tires with same price in the U.S. what have been made in Japan or somewhere there.

So those tires are shipped pretty much around the world (Japan-U.S.-Finland) and they are much cheaper than the local tires.

I am not a treehugger either, but that is long way to get burned down on local streets. So what we learned? Burnouts is not most ecologial things to do.

I've never been a fanatical "tree hugger", but you have to worry about wasted resources and the future of a planet where buying bottled/sliced button mushrooms shipped from China costs less than half the ones grown right down the road. About the only thing we still do better is "marketing". No one can fleece a sucker better than an American businessmen!

Thats why I keep telling people that we need to get ahead of the curve on outsourcing. The entire world is going that way and the economics dictate it. I forsee a future when econmies are almost even across the board due to worldwide communications and manufacturing. I think the "Made in America" campaign is going to be detrimental to our position in world trade. My 25cents worth. Many of the companies that claim to be American made are playing around with the meaning of the words. Mass produced parts from China assembled in America (or Mexico) are not really American made. Ask Walmart they know all about the false front. Chuck

Chuck, its amazing the space shows back then that have almost materialised today, who,d of thought you could talk into a watch, or cordless device as in Dick traceys watch. i was allways enthralled by Brick Bradford and the Time top, a futuristic space hero so far ahead of peoples thoughts then. I guess youth is wasted on the young! chuckle.

Gary, i only saw him in the movies over here an awafull long time ago and was wrapped in the series, if i,m close, i think his offsider was "the runt"? i loved the bob hope shows which nearly allways fetured jerry colona? in the audience with the big googly eyes? and the marx bros, and the 3 stooges, and jet jackson, tarzan, jungle jim. My memory goes back to those days but yesterday and now are hazy,

Hey Bill, you're partly right, Chester Morris played Blackie in the movies, but Kent Taylor played him in the TV series. Youtube has a lot of the TV episodes, click on and watch. Gary
