friends; do NOT drink the Kool-Aid....

i am not anti-foreign car. in fact, there are foreign cars out there that i would consider owning. not a toyota though. what i am personally concerned about is the lack of free-trade recipriocity between japan and the united states. while we allow foreign automakers the opportunity to sell cars in the u.s. competitively the same option is not granted to u.s. carmakers in japan. so while japan sells millions and millions of vehicles in the good ole u.s.; chevy's are nearly impossible to purchase in tokyo because of import regulations. japan is abusing us and our goodwill. i understand they've opened factories across the u.s. employing thousands of americans. ok. i get it. but what is never stated is that those jobs come at a price. just ask american union autoworkers, and their struggling families in detroit. generations of good hard-working americans are being undercut. so if you think buying that foreign car isn't hurting the u.s. you are incorrect. nevertheless, this is america, and what is so good about america is that we have choice. i wish each of you peace; and GO JR. at Atlanta!!!
