The WORLD automotive industry???
You wanna guess what percent of the WORLD automotive industry
IS US-made vehicles?
I don't have a number, but I'd be willing to bet my Gross National Product that it's more than 75%! And where do you think that industry came from? British technology, innovation, & creativity?
WRONG!!! The automobile came from Germany (Karl Benz)
and the only reason it could be produced at a reasonable cost was because Henry Ford invented chromolly steel and the production line (maybe you've heard of them).
And ALL modern design (automotive & otherwise) is based on "Finite Element Analysis"; an analytical design technique created by...
Anyone?
Anyone?
Bueller?
...Ford Motor Company, USA.
Right - those bloody Yanks! Wanna guess where ABS brakes, EFI, GPS, and the microcomputers to control them ALL came from? Right again - the only country that could build a car that drove on the Moon.
How far have Rovers gone?
So what exactly are you laughing at?
