I can kind of see where he's coming from though. Could be he's my grandfather's age, and fought in WWII...maybe he finds it difficult to get over that. If you had Germans and Japanese soldiers trying to kill you, and spent years trying to kill them, you might not want to drive one of their cars regardless of price/quality.

I haven't had a domestic made vehicle as my primary vehicle since 85...that was a '76 Monza. You can guess what kind of luck I had with THAT. I love my Japanese bikes and cars...but sometimes I feel that it is not very patriotic. Should I spend the extra money and deal with the extra hassles to be a better citizen? I'm on the fence I guess. If I had my way, the US would produce vehicles with similiar quality as the Honda, Suzuki & Mitsu's I've owned. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

How do you support your country, and buy almost nothing made here? I was thinking about all the "stuff" I own...guns are about the only thing made here that aren't junk. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
