What Do You Drive?

[Josh]

I might drive that foreign crap is I lived in Japan and did business in Japan but since I'm an American doing business in America I chose to drive and buy american.

My cars are German, my bike is a Honda.

What "American" car do you drive?

The Jeep and the Mini are actually German companies. But I think the Jeep was "assembled" in the USA and the Mini will be "assembled" in England.

The Mazdas were "assembled" in Japan even though the Ford Motor Company owned 33% of Mazda at that time.

It's a world economy JD. You must embrace this new world.

I donm't where you are coming from on that. I would challenge you find even one post of mine that could be "ugly".

If you need to justify driving foreign then why not just buy american to start with?

Chevy Impala. Chevy pick up, GMC Accadia. When I was showing horses it was a chevy dually and an Elite LQ trailer. When I had a bike it was a Harley and if I ever own another one it will be a Harley.

I've never owned a datsun or kia or whatever rice burners there out there nor will I take as a rental when I travel.

I don't think it's a matter of justifying it as much as it's a matter of realizing that even if it has an American company's logo on it, doesn't mean it was made in America. Chevy builds a lot of product outside this country. Here is an interesting article that's a little old, but not much changes:

Is Your Car Made in America?

To turn this back around, if you want to buy american, shouldn't you really know what you're buying?

Shoulda sprung for the town car.

You know I tried the Taxi thing to but prospects seemed to not take me seriously when I drove up in the thing. Wonder what I did wrong???
