    Received the article this morning. This should help with dealer issues in the US, or I hope so. Thankful I have a great dealer I use, but there are some who do not.

    I'll bet that the Texas facility has more to do with their ATV and UTV line-ups, than it does with Spyders...
    But it's still a really good move!

    ...multilingual. Here's why: "don't speak no" is spoken in parts of the Midwest and we use it here in Indiana; "bloody" is British I believe; and "French" is English for Francais. And, there is likely some "Texan" language that is unique to y'all.

    Default Great news ..!

    This is an area that is absolutely exploding with businesses and people. Toyota moves its Corp headquarters here as well. Traffic has become pretty tough as a result..! But, I’m real happy to hear about this.

    Since you're going to have all of these Canadians heading down to Texas: don't forget to teach them the "language of love"; as it's spoken in your State!

    French and English perhaps, but I doubt you speak very fluent Texan. It's a difficult language to learn especially if you don't wear a big belt buckle or a cowboy hat! Begin with the easy words like "y'all" and "fixin" and "unsweet" (as it related to iced tea) and then advance to the more complex phrases and sentences.

    Frito Lay has there headquarters there but I don't think they make the chips there, and I'm not sure the tackle boxes are made anywhere anymore. I have 3 and one is empty (spare).

    This is great news. It should not only make parts easier to get access to, but I think it will put them better in touch with the needs and mindsets of many of their customers.

    It may surprise you, but Texan isn't limited to Texas! Back in 1989 when I was living in England I was in a Texas Homecare DIY store, kind of like our Lowe's or Home Depot. I kept hearing a ladies voice over the PA making all sorts of announcements. I just had to find out where she was from. I knew it was purely coincidental that an American woman speaking perfect Texan living in England was working in a store named Texas Homecare. When I located her I asked where she had been born and raised. "Newcastle, here in England," she said. I was flabbergasted. I know you could have dropped her into the middle of Texas and no one would know she wasn't raised there!
