I love America but I don't trust American cars, since Detroit got fat and lazy in the 70's, unions took over, and later the feds.

If I can still find them, I'll go with well-designed, well-manufactured foreign cars produced without all the BS.

These days a lot of foreign brands are made in the US and US brands made in Mexico and Canada it seems.

You are right about the 70’s . I ordered a 1973 Chevy early ‘73 . Took 16 weeks to get . Picked it up one summer evening . 5 minutes after driving it off the dealer’s lot the 4 speed shifter linkage locked up and caused the transmission to stay stuck in 2nd gear . Drove back to the dealer in 2nd ( SLOWly ) . No mechanics on duty so I had to leave the car for repair . I had to fight to get a loaner car from the dealer ! It was all downhill from there . Nothing but problems with that car . Got rid of it 6 months later . Never bought an American car again .
