[Boatanchors] Harbor Freight

[Carl]

I'll support whatever it takes to break the unions strangle hold.

If it means bye bye to the Big 3 so be it. The Phoenix rising from the 
ashes will be the new winner.

BTW, Ive never owned an Asian car and the closest I come to any foreign 
badge is a Volvo which is a Ford product made in the USA. Other modern 
vehicles here are Buick, Ford, and Dodge.
