[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 559031, member: 60724"] >> I see Taurus cars of that same year on a regular basis, I rarely, if ever, see a 1990's Accord. Given the economy of Ohio, how about this as a possibility painted as a nice little picture: Late 80s and early 90s imports were bought by Joe and Jane Yuppie of the suburbs. Now, 15 years later, their young kids have gone off to college, or moved out of states where the good white collar jobs are taking mom and dad's hand-me-down car with them. The whole while, Earl and Alma Po'Folk drive their paid-off Tauras into the ground, what with only having to drive it to pick up scratch-off tickets and Red White and Blue beer and such. Okay, that is a little sarcastic, sorry...but my point is valid. There is a profile of people that buy American and keep the cars a long time and there is another profile of people who buy imports and recycle (or trade them in). If you hand a car down to a kid, or sell it to a cousin or neice of nephew, where does it go? The college parking lots are filled with 10 year old imports. TJR [/QUOTE]
