I can understand the sentiments of the second guy, the condition of American automakers becoming what it is. I would personally buy an American auto over any foreign one sheerly because it is made by an American company- *especially* when it comes to my trucks. I’m no racist- so I certainly wouldn’t give a piss whether it was partially made in Korea or Mexico or even bloody Sudan. The fact that it is an American company producing American jobs and American profits is good enough for me. That, and I much prefer American and European auto styling, performance, and safety over Asian-company vehicles.

Well, the second one makes sense. He’s not racist, just pissed.

“No foreign cars” signs are pretty common around here in Automation Alley. My parents’ sole car for much of my childhood was a 1988 Jetta. I was called a traitor for riding in a German car as an 8-year-old. In 1995.

Years later, my parents sold that Jetta (still functioning) to my high school boyfriend. Our first order of business was to get it on in the lot of the U.A.W. Hall in front of the “AMERICAN CARS ONLY/ABSOLUTELY NO FOREIGN PARKING” sign. Ah, memories. (How’s THAT for passive-aggressive?)

You know, my college roommate has that same attitude of the guy in the car note. She’s from suburban Detroit and her father retired from GM, so I guess it’s not too uncommon.

However, she conveinently neglects the fact that the Chevy she prides herself on driving cause it’s American is 97% Korean-built, Mexican-assembled Daewoo with a Chevy badge slapped on the front, and the Subaru I drive was at least built in Indiana.

Someone should tell the city council. Surely he can’t post parking restrictions of any kind without clearing it with the city.

Yep! So feel free to park a small fleet of BMWs right in front of the place.

I know my car and all it’s parts were made in Ohio. Funny little HOnda, that one.

But I bet his Chevy has a “Hecho en Mexico” sticker on it somewhere. Bet that would make his ignorant brain explode.

I’m the submitter of the first picture: Apologies are in order, as it wasn’t submitted in bad faith or to trick anyone; it was a picture taken via iPhone that my cousin showed me, and I suggested putting it up on PAN. I guess he either didn’t notice the ad on the bottom or didn’t bother mentioning it to me (both are likely, surprisingly).

Sounds like your mom was a smart lady then and protected her ass. Good for her. She went about it the right way I guess and that is definitely one way to avoid worrying about if you are picking the right renter or not.

Funny. People used to say the same thing about Italians and their garlic-scented sauces.

Who’s complaining now? Get over it. People need to eat.
Or is Italian food not “ethnic food”?
