[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 559019, member: 56140"] TJR, Yes, I do hate improt cars and trucks. They are taking advantage of the free trade at the expense of jobs for our hard working American families. They do not offer the benefits Ford, Chrysler, and GM offer the employees. I look at the imported cars made in the US as the Wal-Mart of the automakers. When the imports first came to the US, they were junk, plain and simple. Japanese cars from the 70's and early 80's are not on the road compare to the American cars of the same year. Look around, it is not uncommong to see a beat up Monte Carlo or a beat up Thunderbird, but you will not see a Toyota Cressida anywhere on the road. I call Japanese Motorcycles "JapCrap", but that doesn't mean that the Japanese bikes are less reliable then a Harly is. Then again, you don't see many Japanese bikes from the 70's, but you do see Harley's. Explain that. The Harley-Davidson motorcycles have something the Japanese bikes will never have...Class. Don't think I have felt this way my whole life. When I was yunger, I wanted imported cars in the worst way. As I got older and started looking around, I have seen that the imported cars don't stay on the road as long as the American cars did. I have seen the abuse people pu on cars on a daily basis and the Domestics handle it without a problem. I have yet to see a Japanese truck handle 1/10 of the abuse a Domestic truck sees. Tom [/QUOTE]
