I've owned American made cars I put that many miles on. You know... in the late late 70's and early 80's Japan bombed us with advertising about what quality their cars were. And stupid americans bought into it. I had friends that bought datsuns and Hondas and all that crap. Everyone, I mean everyone I knew that bought those first cars put clutches, or transmissions, or other significant work into them. And everyone of them argued how reliable it was. Gee... I've got over 100,000 miles and only needed two clutches, a timing chain, and the vales run on this little 4 banger that wouldn't do over 80 mph. And they all just loved them.
Whatever. It's called advertising. I understand if people don't want to give money to the unions. That's their thing. I get it. But I also understand that almost EVERY corporation gives money to both parties. Even the democrats. Even conservative companies. Even oil and gas companies. EVERYONE gives money to the DNC.
I want my money to go to American workers and American companies. Plain and simple.

Why should I pay lazy US union workers big bucks for American named crap cars? Toyoda's are assembled in the South right to work states.
And no taxpayer bailouts for them.
Stop funding the left.
