I was just watching a video on Yahoo news entitled "what's next for Sarah Palin" and they showed a video clip and said John McCain drove himself somewhere, and there was a Toyota s.u.v. with who I assume was John McCain driving. If that is true, that really seems unpatriotic to me. Especially because I live in Michigan, where the unemployment rate is the highest in the country due to the failure of the automotive industry. OY! Buy American Please!
Yes they are cheaper but he can afford a couple extra thousand dollars I am sure.
They aren't MY politicians, they are yours also so stfu. All I asked was a simple question. I guess noone gives a crap about anything that doesn't directly effect them. If you lost your job I am sure you'd be a little more concerned and not so belitteling of someone concerned with the economy and things that effect it.
 
Real Americans buy Toyota!

JK, the automotive industry failed because people in Michigan were brainwashed by the UAW to strike whenever they felt like it. That said, the auto companies also failed to make quality cars that would ensure repeat business.

I don't feel obligated to buy a product that is substandard. Isn't that how capitalism works? My Hondas are made right in America, in Ohio or Alabama, so I'm covered there. Your politicians are the ones sending the jobs out, so start with them.
 
You don't have to worry about McCain now Honey bee, or Sara Palin either lovey so why are you wasting your energy duckey.
 
I live in kentucky and we have a toyota plant here. lots of americans biuld toyotas. Go CHEVY!
 
Well, unfortunately, foreign cars tend to be cheaper and higher quality than American cars these days.

I'd hardly say the man is unpatriotic simply because he doesn't drive an American car. He served in the military, after all - that proves his patriotism.

That's pretty shallow of you.
 
I'd buy American autos if the laborers wouldn't screw up the cars. My GM truck has the floor mat tilted back on the left side, so I pushed it flat against the firewall area, and a wire broke. The wire was too short so instead of fixing it, they just pulled the rug over it.

My Ford mustang died at 12300 miles, I started it up and the plastic timing gears were apparently broken (they gave them back to me when I had it fixed). After they towed it in for service, they said Ford wouldn't warranty it because the warranty expired at 12000 miles.

My Ford Taurus was in the shop so many times they even had the engine in the back area a few times, and with no power, the windows were down, and some cat got in the car and took a dump on the back seat.

Ford agreed to buy it back, and i got another ford explorer. After a couple of years, all well maintained, no problems, one day it backfired while I was starting it, and it blew something off the engine (a vacuum device) and the engine would hardly run. They fixed that, and then told me the head gasket was broken. Then they said the head was out of alignment. I gave that car away.

I then bought a Lexus 300, and it's now 8 years old and still running perfectly. I bought another Lexus 400H and after 2 years, it too is running perfectly.

My friend in N.J. bought a Ford taurus when I did, and it had a rattle, it took them over a year to figure out that someone at the factory took a coke bottle and stuffed it in the body area near the back wheel, and shipped out the car that way. The rattle only happened occasionally.

I've heard lots of horror stories about Union employees screwing up American Made autos, and my conclusion is this: Americans who allow others in their line to foul up cars, and don't turn them in, should not have jobs.

So I don't buy American made autos. And the executives are overpaid, and stupid. An MBA student could make better decisions than US automaker management.
 
That's okay. Your new president drives a Ford Escape Hybrid. The Obama's have only one car and that is what it is.
