Yup, overseas is where it goes. They aren't the only ones tho'. DCX has moved a large amount of their tooling to Germany. In one example, Lamb Technicon, who did $300M per year with DCX five years ago is donw to $100M per year - none of it with DCX. They have laid off 2/3 of their workforce. I get employee discount on Chryslers through my brother and I'm still thinking about not buying one. The Germans have caused a lot of pain in Detroit in the last few years.

Kind of hard for shops to do with material, electric, taxes, ins, & tools going up more than that. They tell me if they don't they send the work overseas.... ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
