I guess I was lucky.I bought a pair of Brembo vented front rotors from FCP about 2 years ago, and they were Made in Italy!I think they were about $55 bucks each. I must admit,I hate buying Chinese products, especially for my Volvos. My neighbor and good friend has 2 MGBs,and MGA, and two Rover TCs.He is a British car fanatic.He has ordered new grills, tail light lenses, etc for his MGs and much to his chagrin, they were Made in China!!
I'm over 5 and a half decades of age, and I can remember the days when people looked down on Japanese products."Jap crap!". Needless to say;times have changed..Now, if you want to buy Japanese products, you will pay top dollar.
The problem is, that nowdays, it is almost impossible to avoid buying things that are made in China! !
I have often thought of launching a "boycott China" movement crusade,,but,I decided not to after I realized that my shoes,computer,TV, stereo,CD/DVD player,etc..etc. were all of Chinese origin!
It's absolutely disgusting! Volvo "OEM" parts from China!
I try to boycott China, but then I go to find a new pair of shoes.Did you ever try to find a pair of US made sneakers?,,,or how about a cell phone!?...or,,let's go shopping for a new computer!..yes, let's find a nice new computer that's not Chinese!?
I guess you get my point.
Am I bitter?
Yes.
Am I wearing Chinese shoes?
Yes.
Will I be able to avoid buying Chinese made products?
No.
Where will my "Boycott China" bumperstickers be made?
China.
