They make great cars and probably would have one in my garage if it weren't for the 4 kids that showed up looking for a place to stay. heh heh Scott

USA is so full of opportunities but I get surprised when i hear there is none. You'll find there is a huge divide in this country that can be defined in many ways. One of the major characteristics is those that empower themselves and those that enjoy victim status. It's not hard to spot either. My Polish relatives came here to escape Russian rule and slavery. I still have the picture of the barn they lived in with their 11 kids, on dirt floors.
I believe they all died with big healthy families, successful children and there was a lot of love.
I think many in the US have had it too easy for too long and/or haven't traveled enough to realize how incredible this country is.
Wife and I have many friends from Israel, Paraguay, Italy, Germany, China, Japan, Canada, Norway; to name a few. They ALL tell us regularly how much better/easier it is here to succeed and live without oppression. Scott

In preparation to retire (from my present work) and tour some good old USA.and do some USA touring. I am on my 2nd F150 and absolutely LOVE it. I regularly drive North to Boston, South to Hilton Head, SC and West to Chicago. It is the most comfortable vehicle I've ever driven with the exception of our other truck; an Expedition EL Limited.

Scott; I am just unloading a 2012 Silverado. The GM products are way behind Ford. I test drove a 2018 Silverado and it road worse than my 2012 and had less features than what I bought in 2012. The Fords are way ahead in engine, transmission and creature comfort categories. Too bad for GM, I liked my Silverado and it was a very good vehicle, just very disappointed that 6 years later, they have fallen far behind the competition.

Amen to that. Came to US in 1996 and became a citizen in 2012. As much as I love my country of birth and cherish my roots, hard work and perseverance still get you somewhere in this country. Not the same elsewhere.

'03 Corvette '04 Corvette '05 Cobalt '12 Caddy CTS AWD lux/sport '13 Yukon Denali
Traded the Yukon for the '17 Expedition EL Limited after a test drive. I had already had many Ford F series trucks. GM just made inferior vehicles, except the Vettes. I still have my '04 although it's been heavily modified. (700+ hp street/strip setup)
They also do not honor their warranties and they can't compete with the EcoBoost motors in my opinion.

Exactly. My first job in US was polishing floors at Target stores from 12AM to 8 AM. My first year I made less than 10K but I always paid my bills on time. Heck rent was more important that me eating steak
