Ya wanna know what really burns my azz maybe even more than the actual purchasing of the import? It's the callous attitiudes taken up by the so called "American" purchaser. It's like people take joy in the fact that imports are taking over. They love taking pot shots at American vehicles, and think it's all a big fukkin' joke that the American auto industry is in the toliet. Whatever happened to American pride and wanting "the home team to win?" Used to be a person made a few bux they would go buy a Caddy or Lincoln. Now it's all BMW or Benz BS, or the BMW or Benz "wanna bees"
Lexus and Infinity. And doesn't WW II mean anything to anybody? You know, Pearl Harbor and Auschwitz? I can't see sending my hard earned American bux to countries that wanted our heads on a platter less than 70 years ago. You might laugh, but ask your parents or grandparents about how close we almost came to becoming slaves to these countries. Maybe your grandparents didn't even make it this far because of them. And don't think those countries aren't laughing at us, all the way to the bank. Because of the financial situation. We beat them in a war with guns and bombs, but they are now killing us financially. So, in the end, we lose because of ourselves. Pretty sad. Well, at least I can pride myself with the fact that I grew up in a good automotive era, in a family that never even considered not buying American. And I own some of the coolest American cars ever produced. So, when they come to take my toys away, or the only option is to drive an Import, I guess the gun will go in the mouth. But at least I would have died believing in my country...
