NAC RE: Farewell after 7+ years

[David Glubrecht]

"Buy American"  HA,  this attitude has only been harmfull to amreican car 
manufacturers, believing they don't have top compete against foreign cars 
lead to the SH!T they produced in the eightie's and they are still playin 
catch up.  AND trying to fill a market (large SUV's) that certainly is 
unsustainable.  While I agree that the SUV market has been good to them, who 
would have thought gas prices would eventually catch up to them?
