The only good thing is that we have no snow, so I still drive my car.

I haven't driven either for almost two years, so I have got pretty good at getting around without a car.

Got the truck back. After a week. $3200. Just for a steering pump. Rebuilt, not new. No heat though. That's another $3k.

Are we beating them yet?

It's kind of vague though. Many 'German' cars are built in NA on contract by companies like Magna.

It might be German badge, but still made in Canada or the US.
