Its all about getting the money NOW, not saving investing and working hard. Whats really sad is that the Japanese are doing the same crap, they may have a little more control over quality when outsourcing to China because they don't have to cross an ocean to check up on things. The misconception is that we are the only ones outsourcing to China, everyone is doing it. I work in manufacturing and the last 4-5 years have been hell!! In ten years we will have polluted China's lands so badly because of laxxed environmental laws we will be paying to clean up that mess too. DON"T BUY CRAP FROM CHINA, we are all guilty of this to some extent but if you can...buy American!!
There I feel better.

Ok, I found it in a thread on here finally using the search. The company is called VR Straps and the website is supposedly www.vrstraps.com but, it doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Anyone know if this company has a new site or a phone number?
Thanks

It would work if we all stopped buying things not made here but then you would not have anything!!! A little competition is great but explotation of a basically third world country for slave labor only get a few people rich and a whole lot more out of a job. Just a losing argument if you boil it down to its beginnings.

Finally got mine replaced last week and .....MADE IN CHINA sticker on them????!!!! I guess the dealership does not understand that if we really wanted to know where the cables were made we would probably ask. I know allot of this stuff is made overseas but at this point the frustration has let to utter disbeleif in the stupidity of GM not telling them to remove the stickers. I will send GM a WTF message on this for sure. I don't think it will do any good but I'm doing it anyway!!! I wonder where the motor, trans, brakes and all other major components are machined and assembled?? Anyone have any idea? I care about the assembly but the actual machining is what I want to know about.
