No problem. I'm all about buying made in USA things whenever possible. People don't realize what isn't made here any more. For instance, a new Chevy Aveo is a Daewoo, New Ford Fiesta is a Kia, Ram trucks are Fiats made almost exclusively in Mexico. However I drive a '05 Nissan Altima that was manufactured built and assembled in Smyrna, TN. The most American made car right now is a Toyota Camry. It's crazy.

Get all you can out of it.. I bought a 00' explorer used 8 years ago. Still driving it.. just picked up a 150k mile great condition expedition 5.4 triton, ect for 2500.00.. Driving like nobody's buisiness! We dont go anywhere much though so the gas guzzlers dont affect us much

Our 1998 Chevy G1500 Van has 212,000 miles on it; starting to show rust on the doors, but other than that it is still going strong.
 
Yeah my silverado has rusted through at the bottom rear corner of the cab in the traditional Chevy spot. I'm going to hold onto it until it becomes unreliable as I can't get anything out of it with it in that contion. Other than that spot it's in perfect condition.
