Soo . During a recent trip to the NCM I go into the store. The store at the end of the Museum tour. Looking to buy some stuff for the folks at home. Where I spot some thermal cups. The cups are nice with tight lids but the price was 19.00 , ahh what the heck with my NCM membership it's about 16.00 and it is going to a good cause. When it was discovered that the cups were made in China. So those cups go back and I strated looking at another style cup , this time noticing that these cups were also made in China. Hmmmmm (blood pressure control here). Now over to the T shirts where again on the tag is printed made in China. Now I have wanted to get a nice Corvette leather jacket . So in a last ditch effort to give the NCM some of my hard earned money I check out the leather Corvette jackets. You guessed it .....made in China again.
Sorry but this American doesnt like buying much of anything that is made in China. Think about it. In the American icon "Corvette Museum' all the merchandise on sale is made in China. WTF is wrong with this picture ?
Hey GM ! Ye reaps what ye sow !
