Default Did Trump buy a Vette?

Bought my 2017 Grand Sport in December. Noticed on the window sticker that it said the engine was made in mexico. I thought that was odd...how could the general allow the greatest american sports car's engine to technically be from mexico, but I figured..its possible. Today, I got a letter from GM with a new window sticker....letter said they made a mistake on the original window sticker parts country of origin. Sure enough, the new window sticker says the engine was made in USA. Letter says to throw the old one out.

I sincerely doubt they would have done this had Hillary won, but whatever...wonder if this will make Fox News. Should I email Bill O'Reilly?

Check your new window sticker for where the transmission was made. If you have an M7, it was made in Mexico. A8 made in USA!!!

Here we go on a political discussion ride!
It doesn't take much to go that direction but this one is some really juicy bait!
I'll bow out with these words: Go Trump!

The C7 engines are built at the Tonawanda Engine Plant in Buffalo, New York.

Yes, they would have as it is legally required. No and No.

It's probably going to last until 2020, with a possibility of 2024, making it the longest and worst thread ever.
