If you love your country, you are supposed to buy a US made car, even if it’s not as good. Considerate it like a war. War is sacrifice, it’s supposed to hurt.
It’s all too late now anyway, and things are reversing naturally. People are rebelling against the past. I see many people SWITCHING over to US made cars from imports since the ’08 meltdown.
I met a lady at a garage sale. She had a new Chevy Suburban, told me….”We got rid of the Honda and bought that, we LOVE it. Next we are getting rid of our Toyota and buying another American car.”
Has ANYBODY noticed all the brand new V-8 Dodge Ram pick/up trucks lately? Or all the new Jeeps, Grand Cherokees, Wranglers etc erc? Brand new Tahoes and GMC Yukons all over the place. Ford vans and P/U trucks. People are buying more of the older technology trucks with high quality body on frame and V-8 engines.
Lately in my area, every time I see photos of a car accident, the imported uni-body “tuna can” is up-side down or on its side if you are lucky. Two recently erupted in flames, but not like the old times when the Pinto, or Chevy P/U trucks went on fire the media says nothing, no bashing, about the dangers of these small imported cars.
One lady got out of her burning Toyota that was rear ended, and could not open the doors to get her husband and two kids out. She watched them burn. Front page…”I want my family back”.
Uni-body, no frame, its a sheet metal BOX. When the shape gets distorted you CAN’T open the freakin doors.
The people and TPTB, have learned a lot about America’s problems because of that meltdown in ’08. A very big learning experience.
