I was thinking about the age of cars the other day and decided to count
them and on average I did find that most of the older cars did in fact
seem to be American made. Just go to a store parking lot and average them
out.

"Jap cars"???? For someone who claims to be a minority you sure are
racially insulting.

Stop top-posting.

A majority of 70's and 80's cars are junk. I've yet to see anything outside
of a Vette from that era. Maybe a couple Monte Crapos and some
well-preserved Firebirds. The Toyotas were driven until the wheels fell
off. The US cars, the wheels fell off first.

If it wasn't for blacks and Southerners, there wouldn't be a Ford Motor
Company left in the US.

By the time that most Japanese cars are ready for old car shows, they
have 300K plus and have served their purpose.

BTW, I have five that I could put antique plates on...

1) When you call someone "dummy," should look in the mirror first.

2) Ford also makes cars in Mexico for export to the US.

3) Ford also imports cars and car parts from other countries into the
US.

Most of the car companies do the same thing.
