Watch the senators and representatives in their commitee meetings on C-Span for a while and you'll be terrified that these are the idiots charting our future course. It's an old joke that these people are worthless, but the scary part is that it's true.

BV, C'mon, you know me better than that! Personal freedom is more important to me than anything else. I never suggested that anyone should take away the freedom to buy a foreign car. But I went back and read your edit, and trust me, you have no idea what this is about. See, we as a country, are losing our economic power not only to adversaries, but to outright enemies. Our major finacial institutions, both banks and investment firms, are being bought by venture capital from the middle-east. At the same time, our government is borrowing billions from China. That money comes from our willingness to save a buck by buying boatloads of suspect products from them. And $450 billion worth of oil from the middle east, while we fight a war financed by our borrowing. So, this dispute is far more serious than Japan's protectionism. I hope you get what I'm saying because you will have to live with it longer than I will.

BV, this is not whining. You simply don't understand the gravity of the situation at this point. It goes well beyond cars. Essentially, our own foolishness (read the politicians not doing their jobs) is allowing our country to literally be bought out from under us.

I found that on the web without sources cited, so I can't vouch for it. But, I have always believed that the 2nd ammendment was put there to protect us from the worst excesses of our own government.

The problem has become deadly serious, so of course the politicians are just now taking notice. Always late to the party.

Unfortunately, by feeling the pain some are feeling now. The key is to connect that pain to the root causes. I have always thought that it was wrong to buy things from a country that does not practice fair trade. So, morally, I could not buy a car from Japan nor China for example. The damn government needs to fix this, they should never have let it happen in the first place.

Yeah, Ebay "motors" really needs someone with a clue about cars to run it.

Something to think about!! Very interesting statistics Subject: A little gun history You read the contents of this message and decide for yourself the validity of the information! Thought you might appreciate this . In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ------------------------------ In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ------------------------------ Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. ------------------------------ China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ------------------------------ Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ------------------------------ Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ------------------------------ Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one 'educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ----------------------------- Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million. ------------------------------ It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)! In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns! It will never happen here? I bet the Aussies said that too. While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed. There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it. You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens. Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late! The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson. With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'. During W.W.II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

But just like a drag race, all that counts is that you got there first.

Any way you slice it, it is detrimental to the US every time someone buys a car from a foreign company. And each person who does, does so knowingly.

That's what's so great about the RWD Xbodies, you can still buy/build a vintage musclecar/ponycar without breaking the bank. Underneath, they are the Camaro's next of kin.

I went back and looked, and that is a nice looking car. I had no idea that Olds ever used the F-85 name on an Omega.

I confess that I didn't follow the link to that particular car. I was just relating what I've noticed in watching the values of older cars lately.

Along with Nova,Apollo, and Ventura, the Omega is a relative bargain in RWD V8 performance cars - especially when you go back a bit farther than '77.

While the lion's share of the blame goes to the government for bungling trade agreements, consumers should also bear some of it. As citizens, we bear some responsibility as well.

I've been watching C-Span, and even our slow-to-get-it members of Congress are finally realizing just how serious this is. Time to not buy so much from foriegn companies. Walmart is one of the worst offenders on this front.

YellowJacket is a big boy and has defined his positions all by himself. He did the research and formed his opinions without me. You're way off here, PCS.

It has exclusivity rights to the names.

Me too! But that will have to wait just a bit.

Figures.

PCS speaks for the more ignorant faction within GM management.

Or at least in Detroit.
