>>>I imagined hockey pucks being made in Chine (the usual cheap plastic stuff) :). Every shot would be shattering the puck to small pieces. They would have to start making hockey sticks in China too; to match them to the plastic pucks :)

>So true. I remember in the early 80s they used to say, "if you want to buy a good car, pay more, and buy American. And if you want to buy a cheap and not so nice cars, Japanese".

Which was pure marketing BS - the japanese cars in early 80s were almost impossible to kill with normal wear&tear, in the late 80s they had achieved curve and high speeds handling similar to most non-german cars. They lost manufacturing finish in the 90s (Toyota/Lexus and Subaru to a much smaller degree, Mitsubishi and Nissan were hit pretty hard in some of their lines) and now Korean cars have taken the place of the sturdy and not overpriced cars.
