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.

Ford warns Carney not to cut tariffs on Chinese EVs as PM looks to repair ties with Beijing
Ford’s position:
- Canada must “stand firm.”
- EVs sold in Canada should be built in Canada, not imported from China.
- If Chinese companies want access, they should build factories here and hire Canadian workers.
