...And if you want to know why scrapmetal prices are WAY up, it's because China can't get enough steel to keep their factories running. No BS! So they are buying all the scrap (raw materials) we will send them. The garbage pickers are practically getting into fist-fights for a junk washing machine.

Wow, just like a third-world country without having to get on a plane.. How nice. I wished they'd just start WWIII now, and come take our raw materials. Then at least some of the corrupted leaches (on both sides) in Washington DC might get theirs.

My other '73 Imperial...

BTW If you're wondering what that front license plate says, it reads "Proud to be part of Chrysler Engineering" and comes from the better days of Iacocca. I would grafftio it by adding "I used to be...", but since Chrysler no longer exists, I really don't need to.

I'm pretty sure the Chinese are still using our tooling to build 2.2L engines. At least the Chinese Jeep that runs over my body 15-years-from-now will have one of "our" engines.
