Buying American car is no sacrifice

 

My lease on a foreign car was up and I wanted the next lease to be American. It was easy.

United States manufacturers are making better cars in diversified styles than ever before.

Comparing my latest purchase to the foreign competitor convinced me there was no sacrifice in buying from an American manufacturer.

The auto I decided on was more economical and comfortable than the comparable foreign competitor and I’m proud to be the driver of a car designed, perfected, manufactured and sold in this great country.

This reported shortfall also includes $15 million in the county’s fire-rescue budget, so please try not to play with matches.
