i'm American and i use paragraphs
seriously though, that sucks that you had a run in with your neighbors. i like talking to people who have different taste in cars. i can appreciate american cars and how they are different from imports.
if someone busted my balls about not buying american, i would just shrug it off because honestly i don't care. So many 'American' corporations outsource all of their manufacturing overseas etc, so what is really 'American' made is pretty hard to determine.
With certain products, if all the parts are made in another country, and it is assembled in the USA, the company can say it is American made.
besides, us JDM guys stimulate the economy more with our grossly expensive aftermarket parts that cost way more than anything made for american cars for no particular reason.
so go us.
I judge cars based on the car itself, not where it is made. Unless its made in Korea, Yugoslavia, or Mexico
