Buy American?

KillerBee370 · 11-06-2009, 02:39 PM

Yeah.. about the only thing we can do is pity people like this. I certainly wouldn't want to walk in their shoes. Even for a day.

Should have stopped them and told them to buy a Toyota then:

Thank you. I was just searching for this article.

I'm a union worker and believe in supporting local labor and businesses. However one of the great things about this country is the freedom to do basically what I want and choose to buy what I want. Build an equal car thats made here and I'll buy it. Period. Show us that you are superior,UAW!

This thread reminds me of another thread at a different forum when one of the members there cracked me up saying something about the patriotic american flags these rednecks wave. The flags which are made in china.

Hahaha.

When i drove my car up to Michigan as soon as i hit the border i saw virtually no imports on the roads everything was american. I got looks from A LOT of people lol. I just thought to myself "You're just giving me mean looks because your upset your car doesnt look as good as mine"

Alot of Nissan's are built in Tennesee. just not the Z.

People say that buy American crap but they dont understand the concept that America was built off competition and capitalism. That means to me if some one can provide you with a superior product you dont buy the crappy product.

Simple fact that Goverment bought out GM means they messed with a already good working system. GM should have went under, that would have left space for a new company to arise and profit, providing us with something possibly better or worse. You cant keep providing garbage and hope every one bails you out.

I also bet you take any one of those idiots that spout buy american, i can almost promise they would drive a brand new ferrari if it was handed to them.

Oh yeah, there is NOTHING American that i could have bought that was 31.5k that is better than my Z.

Buy American?
Execluding automobiles!
What is left that's built in America? All the plants are south of the border, or over seas! GM wants to build automobile plants in Russia!

it looks like they hired an Infiniti designer. hell, look at the analog clock...

Inspector71 · 11-09-2009, 09:15 AM

You took the words out of my mouth. All I can say is amen.

ZKindaGuy · 11-09-2009, 09:38 AM

I am sure if you tear down every vehicle made you are bound to find a mix of foreign and domestic vendors. Even the Big 3 have preferred vendor lists based on lowest cost. The whole thing is one huge irony!

kenchan · 11-09-2009, 09:59 AM

Irony and deception. The dumb gets dumber and poorer, smarter gets richer. And the middle class gets to pay the price.

DIGItonium · 11-09-2009, 12:55 PM

Wow... I pulled into the parking lot of a restaurant downtown last night to meet up with some friends. All of a sudden I kept hearing some V8 revving and roaring. I was already

about other things, and the revving got me ticked off. [Foolishly] I started revving back wondering wtf was going on, and he started revving even more. Then I shutoff my car and proceeded to walk in the restaurant with my gf. We kept hearing more revs, so I walked out and this bald douche kept staring at me with the "I'm going to kill you" look and kept revving. It was an El Camino with a couple of dirt bikes on the back. I walked back in, he pulled out and left.
