Do it, it's easy. You can make it as simple or as complicated as you want and it's a relatively cheap hobby.

And it'll get you drunk.

Does it bother you guys that Ford operates in other countries too?
The USA was built on exporting things around the world, but somehow it's a tragedy when any american company is bought out?

I think this is really the end of the America. They cant beat us at war but we will sell any thing to any body. Sell outs! You guys keep buying those TOYO TIRES!

Before you get going too much, take a look around your house, your computer, your cell phone, stereo, clothes, I could go on, but hopefully you'll see it's a little late for this buy American rant! It is a shame after all these year more and more companies go foreign, and import more and more. GREED!

Yes, plenty of smaller, high quality ones. My favorite is Sierra Nevada. Cheap BudMillerCoors comes from global conglomerates. I drink less, but higher quality these days. Total cost is the same.

I've found with the higher quality stuff you don't want as much...I usually drink because I like it, so I get the good stuff...If I want to get drunk, I'll drink Budweiser or something like that...

If I'm out on a boat or camping or whatever, it's usually easier to bring bud cans. If I'm just looking to get drunk, bud is the way to go.

Regardless, I still like Bud and Bud light even though I really enjoy higher end beers.
