1993 Dodge Dakota, 4WD, though I’m sure most of the parts were made in some other country.

In fact, I cant name anyone I know who drives an American car except me
This guy is on to something. I know lots of liberals (mostly colleagues and family members) who will fiercely defend unions. Yet almost to a person they drive foreign cars (mostly Honda and Toyota).
When I've pointed out the same argument this author uses to them, they either change the subject or more likely blame the "overpaid", "incompetent" and selfish management. You really can't convince these folks that the UAW and the legacy costs are what is killing the US Auto Industry. These people really don't like facts that contradict their preconceived opinions.

At our ed of the block, the only household that’s conservative is the one in which I live - and the only house that has any domestic cars. Well, somebody across the street has a business car that’s a Caddy, but we’re the only ones with a complete compliment of Fords.

I was behind a Lincoln Towncar last week with an “obama” bumper sticker.
I’m not sure how valid the generalizations are.
I drive a 95 Buick Roadmaster, and don’t have any problems with it. Best car I’ve ever had.

I drive a Canadian car, a Honda Pilot (my second one), and a better car in the world does not exist.
I won't by an American car for a simple reason, and it has nothing to do with politics or ideology. The reason is that I had a terrible ownership experience with each of the three American cars (two Chevrolets and one Jeep) that I've owned. Poor quality and poor service. In what way do they deserve my hard-earned green?
My Pilot has quality, value and performance, not to mention bulletproof reliability. Honda has earned my business. Simple.

Good read.
I have a Saturn SC Coupe (35mpg), Saturn Vue (wife’s buggy), Jeep Cherokee (4x4 winter blaster), and 67 Camaro convertible (classic summer fun). All made in USofA by union labor.

Real liberals drive Trabants.

I grew up as a fanatical Mopar man, but I now drove a Matrix, basically because no U.S. automaker saw fit to offer me a small AWD car. For a while I had Glock and NRA decals on it, which no doubt caused some confusion among the lemmings.

BMW R1200R. First foreign-made vehicle I’ve ever owned. I’m still not a liberal, though.

I'm presently driving a Hyundai Sonata which was assembled in Alabama by Americans.
Not a Leftwingtard bone in my body.
In fact, I don't know a single professor who drives a Sonata, and if they did, we've visited so many universities so many times the last 10 years I would have seen one if that were the case.
In fact, if you see a Sonata parked somewhere you are likely looking at something owned by a retired federal government employee, a young black American military officer or NCO, or a Public Health Service case worker on her way home.

Nearly every vehicle I own was built within 100 miles of where I live. I don’t buy new vehicles anymore. The highest mileage vehicles were built during the late 80’s and early 90’s. I currently drive a ‘90 Chevy half ton pickup that gets 23 to 25 miles per gallon. Oh, and it has nearly 300,000 miles on the odometer.

1994 Ford Ranger 4WD, 26 mpg highway, 160,000 miles and still running like a top. Past cars were both American and foreign. American held up as good as any foreign. In fact a Datsun(remember those) I had broke down regularly. American cars are good, the American Auto industry(the big 3)business plan is not. Lower their cost and they will be able to compete just fine with foreign cars.
