Exact place? Looks like somewhere in Monument Valley, but don't ask me for the lat/long or whether it's on reservation land or not. I've been to Bluff and Mexican Hat while running the San Juan River, but need to get into the actual park there one of these days. Mmmm, frybread. Ya'ah'tee. :shades: Did I miss the mission-style hospital location on the postcard btw? With the palms, I'm guessing LA or south in California.

Mexicans from Monterey are coming up to TX and buying foreclosed properties Where have all the UAW wages gone? Well some are coming back to the USA buying back TX. Se Habla Espanol? :) Texas Real Estate Slump Lets Mexicans Take It Back June 25 (Bloomberg) -- More than a century and a half after Mexico lost Texas to the U.S., Virgilio Garza wants a piece of it back. A ``Texas for Sale'' sign and cowgirls in boots and white hats greeted Garza at the Convex center in Monterrey, Mexico, earlier this month. A Monterrey developer and investor, Garza was in search of foreclosed U.S. property to buy. ``Texas is like our home,'' said Garza, 45, who joined hundreds of Mexicans poring over lists of Texas properties at the four-day event. Garza, who owns manufacturing sites and other land in Mexico, said he and five partners may invest as much as $8 million in Texas. ``We believe there can be some opportunities.'' A rising peso and an economy growing faster than the U.S. have given some Mexicans the buying power to take advantage of the housing slump in Texas, which the U.S. annexed in 1845 after Texans gained independence from Mexico nine years earlier. A three-year war followed and ended with Mexico ceding about half its territory, including Arizona, Nevada and California, to the U.S. under an 1848 treaty.

Also, just from reading your posts, you might have trouble seeing that attitude in workers, simply because you are as biased to the union and their attitude as I am biased against it...I just believe that I see the forest for the trees, and the pro-union folks, IMO, seem to live in deep denial of what the market is telling them...no insult intended, but reading your posts one can come to no other conclusion... Like I've said many times over and over I understand what the market is doing but just because that is reality and it is happening like so does not mean I have to clap my hands and support the agenda of the elites. The union folks had to comply with the free market conditions and as a result are making far less. I've linked to many articles over the last year what the new UAW workers are making compared to the older vets and it's about half as much. With all these union folks losing their jobs and disposable income all I can say things are going to get far worst for the economy. :sick: Have you sold any policies yet??? I have not had the oppertunity marsha7. They are to busy sticking me with more and more sales presentations. I trained with co-workers for a couple hours 11-2 and set appointments for 7 hours Wednesday. Was suppose to be a meeting but that was canceled because my big boss wasn't done with his holidays. You know I'm not very happy and probably going to bail. I have a lead from a long time friend of the family who works for a insurance company and she told my mom if this company doesn't work out for Rocky, send him over here. She couldn't believe the sales pitch we had to memorize. Guys imagine trying to recite over a dozen pages of information and it has to flow smoothly. You get recorded on camera and until you can deliver it smoothly you are banned from going out in the field. I have a couple of co-workers out of the Lansing, office whom have been there two and half weeks longer than I who are yet to make anything. So it's not just Rocky, who is having issues. I also just today tipped my hat back into autosales. My trainer right now is trying to schedule me interviews for early next week and will hear from him today on times. ;) I also have a cousin who is starting a upper management job for a medical supply company and he told me he's going to hire me maybe by the ned of next month if everything goesas planned. So perhaps something finally will go career wise right for me. I'm getting frusterated, and am tired of working for free and being lied too. :cry: :sick: Worker problems, by their sheer numbers, are much larger than mgmt problems, but the your point about the suits is valid... I don't know what you are baseing that point on ???? Lots of non-union shops have left for China, closed up, or moved south of the border to exploit slave labor. I read a article the other day one of you posted here on edmunds showing that illegal aliens are having better luck gaining employment in Mexico, than here because they have more jobs available. The rate of illegal alien parents with american born Mexicans applying for Mexico citizenship is at all time high. :surprise: That my friend should tell you something shouldn't it ???? -Rocky

That's the car. The one I saw didn't have a landeau and was a silverish light blue. I'm not a fan of that era, but it was pretty sharp. While doing my errands today, I saw a white 70 or 71 GTO in rough driver condition and a 67 Camaro in restored condition. The Camaro looked like a base model and it looked like there was pretty good body work done on it. It was maroon with a black vinyl top. One of the shortcomings is that he put cheapo wheels on it. The wheels looked like Center Lines with half dollar size holes around the flat part. For the nice work done to it, it would have looked 100 times better with some decent wheels or even some 15 X 8 mexican hat rallys.

Does anyone think things would be that different? Think these two would halt all outside production and just keep it here in the states? Of course, you're correct. The desire to outsource comes from a desire to improve margins with lower labor costs. The "American" car companies will fire Americans at the drop of a hat if it can get cheaper bodies somewhere else. The game has changed because capital markets have globalized, improved technology makes it easier to manage distant operations effectively, and developing countries have been getting rid of restrictive trade rules so that it is easy for US companies to set up shop and take advantage of their lower costs. Maybe the average man in the street just isn't business-savvy, and doesn't understand that the rules changed a long time ago and that the clock isn't turning back. It's the same confusing world that has resulted in Chrysler becoming German, Nissan becoming French, both Swedish carmakers being American, every British car being either German or American-owned, some "American" Fords being Mexican and GM having its best prospects in China. I guess that some people are more confused than others.

It's pre 73 but it's hard to tell besides that. The round turn signals are probably the indicator of what exact year it is but I'm not enough of a historian to know what year it goes with. I think that the mexican hat rallys are a later arrival so I'll guess 1971 small block car.
