Well, I rolled up for my appointment in my 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid. Everyone there seems to have a Chevy or Ford. One of the brothers met me in the drive way and told me, "Get that God D*mn Jap car out of here and don't come back." I was stunned.

Any input is welcome.

"I do hope you found another supplier and told him where he could put his beef. "

I should make it clear.. I own a Ford Sportract and a Kia Sedona. I bought my first car in 1963.. With the exception of a used VW bug, I bought in the early 70s, the Kia is the only non American nameplate I have ever owned. I believe in buying American whenever possible.. But what hasn't been answered here, even though asked many times, is how is it better to buy an American Nameplate built with 100% of the assembly wages paid to Mexican or Canadian laborers than to buy a foreign nameplate with 100% of the assembly wages paid to American laborers?

Better for the company, union or workers? Who is it better for?

My latest care I compared to a couple American name plates. But in the end I bought what was best for me and my American family.

My last car was 100% built in America. It's a BMW Z3. Beautiful car. German know-how and American labor.

The good thing about my wife's Lexus is that an American made a commission by selling it to the original owner.

I can assure you that JD is serious about this subject.

But he couldn't peel the smile off his face when he took a short ride in my German car.

He meant the even numbered days. Since he is odd he only posts on odd numbered days and as such I only visit the forum on those odd days. Odd thing to do, I know. What are the odds it holds?
