I see you deleted your post as I gonna it apart, but I think the people can get the gist of your by my response.

Give back? What do you do for a living? Not sure about you we haven't a contract or a raise in 5 years. Yet everything keeps going up.
Give back? My ass

I am a hard working American and have been around other hard working Americans my whole life. These statements calling American Union workers lazy are wrong. Missing reality and truth. Obviously statements made by people who have never worked in unsafe, and unfair conditions. If the people making these statements could come work along side me. Maybe they would change their minds. Maybe they would be called the lazy and incompetent ones.
Well said GMTool

I could not reciprocate the critcism much, at least as far as the "American made" thing, as the last guy to rag on me drove an American car, assembled in Chicago.

I've only had one person say anything about it to me.

I just said at least it's not Hecho En Mexico like your Ford!

Don't know if that's true, but it ended the conversation quick.

The Camaro is "Made in America", North America for those that failed geography!

What is a good comeback response to someone who is critical of your car and says that the Camaro is not an American "muscle" car, but a "Canadian Leaf" car?

Have you gotten these kinds of comments before? How would/did you respond?
Not all of them, but Camaros were built in Canada in the 1960s, too. The people that say shit don't know what the F they are talking about. Tell them so.

Brutal you could always remind these fools to take a quick look at their clothing labels.

Or if you wanna be really rude just grab a fistful of this guy's collar and shove the label in his face.

"Oh lookie here, whaddya know?!?!?! Made in Taiwan!"



DO IT!

You're a POS, I would tell you to move to Canada but they didn't do anything to deserve you either, you are the worst example of American made.
