American cars

Posted on 06/10/2006 2:16:58 PM PDT by gecole

American cars

I also hate American cars. I got this AMC Gremlin from my brother in-law one time and the engine knocked and the car drove down the street like a crab. Why doesn’t Detroit want to build good cars? I now drive a 2006 Honda which I financed with my own money and I can tell you it is a much better car. You are never going to see a new C6 Corvette in my driveway after that lousy Gremlin that’s for sure. That car reviewer who works for the LA Times was dead on right when he said Detroit was nothing but pure evil. The claim by Ford and GMC that foreign car companies are subsidized by their country’s national health plan is nothing but a big American capitalist lie and no evidence is going to convince me otherwise.

There was a huge gain in quality in the American cars going from the 80s to the 90s. The cars detroit is making now are perfectly good with very few if any exceptions.

What's the matter, you couldn't find any early 70s Pintos?

Oh yeah! Well, I'd like to see the Japs build a car that could do that!

a long time ago, I read an editorial that happened to appear in a New Hampshire paper, called "The Politics of Guilt." I can't recall who wrote it, but it was sure an eye-opener. He talked about how democrats make everyone feel guilty all the time. And he managed to talk about how cool a Corvette was while making his point.

It was a great piece.

My Fords have been great cars. I had a gremlin back in the day and the 232 cid engine went into two other cars before it was done.

Im a few weeks away from my very first brand new car. And there is nothing "liberal" about it except 400 ponys!

USA!

Ralph Nader--is that you? Not even a new signup.

Detroit has made some good stuff too--although their modern pro-Liberal and corporate welfarism is not exactly profitable...
