My dad would never buy a Japanese car, having fought them for three long years, and I understood that, just like he detested coconuts. LOL But this is 2015, not 1965.

My dad was the same way. He was on New Guinea and Luzon with MacArthur's Army Air Corp. He came home on a hospital ship. He would not buy a Japanese car until 1992. Then he bought my mom a Honda Accord. That car finally died last week(too much rust to repair). Actually, the engine is fine. It has 90K miles. It was the epitome of the little old ladies car. My mom drove it to church and the grocery store for 25 years. She is 87 now. It will probably be the last car she will own.
