    I put one on my Taco just so there would be something American about my Japanese truck that was built in Mexico from Chinese parts.

    It absolutely should be flown respectfully at all times. It’s been a journey for me but I’ve realized people have the right to fly the flag however they wish, it doesn’t mean they should. I still will point out when the flag is being disrespected and it pisses me off to see personally.

    I don’t know, I’m 67, things change. I myself know the difference, things get in a gray area shall we say. I’ll quit while I’m ahead.

    It’s not the same. If the flag on the side of the truck could rotate, it would be.

    If you look at their storefront, they purport their products to made in the USA.
    A quick look at the pictures of their products superimposed over American automobiles and firearms, make it painfully obvious these are in all likelihood, made in the P.R.C.

    Yeah, I figured that. Perhaps another example of the "Saipan Scam"

    They’ve been on over a week now and survived a car wash just fine. Solid!

    "How can we measure parts content for vehicles produced in North America?
    Current NAFTA rules state that a vehicle for sale in North America needs to have at least 62.5% North American content in order to avoid import duties. How many vehicles sold in the U.S. pass the current NAFTA content requirement? The answer to that question is known to government authorities, but the data are not available to the general public."

    " the two most "American" cars are both Hondas — the Odyssey minivan and Ridgeline pickup. Three-quarters of each vehicle's components are made in the United States or Canada."
