I like driving my American car,

That's what counts! Forget all that other stuff. It just doesn't matter.

Sure, I know those jap crotch rockets can outrun my Harley. But, I also know what the slogan "Put your ass on some class" means. hehehe

I'll go with the class. IMO, that's what you're doing with your American choice? Am I some kind of brand bigot? Anybody can call me that if they want... but I prefer to think that I'm a patriot and will support my country.

I dunno, you know how us "old" type of Harley riders are. We still preferred to ride iron-heads and shovel-heads when the world was talking about the oil leaks and chanting "Harley Harley buy the best, Ride a mile and walk the rest."

I find it no slur to be accused of running 60 weight in my veins. Nope, even to those jap crap riders who say that as a bad thing, I take it as a supreme compliment. Screw 'em.

But... we are capable of doing better.

We could make a car here in the U.S. that could leave the Germans and the Italians all hot and sweaty. OK... Italians are like that anyway... but the principle sticks.

The Shelby Cobra was perhaps the finest full-boat sports car ever made by anybody. We can do it, and we should. We need to make a no-compromise fastmover, with a little class.
