Avoid cars made in socialist countries such as Germany. Also avoid Nissan, which is controlled by the French Renault. Avoid Michelin.

Michelin makes a lot of fine tires in South Carolina. I don't give a damn that they're French-owned. The Pilot Sport All-Season is just a superior tire, especially in the wet, and my family rides on them.

My "German" VW was made with Brazilian parts and assembled in Mexico with a Polish-built engine.
My American Ford was built in Canada, as was my wife's old Ford. Her current Ford might actually be assembled in the US, but the parts seems to speak Spanish.
Boggles the mind thinking about it.

Well, you can git yurself a used El Camino or Ranchero cheap at the auction too.
Our stable is strictly BMW products. M5, X3, and a Mini Coopers S. I will admit that BMW's I-Drive is for dopey old farts; who by the way, could never figure out how that dopey handle would ever work anyway. Munich F-'ed up big time with that marketing disaster.
