And Cadillac ads on tv are basically a light show.

They sell money.

Known as a REBATE.

A 'rebate' is merely a personal cash loan on top of what the car costs.

They ALL design to the 'standard' that GOVERNMENT allows them.

No; it’s MAYBE.

Or, “I don’t know. Can you?”

The Hyundai was subsidized by the Korean government which isn’t fair to the US worker.

US built cars are overpriced due to union work rules. It is unfair to the US consumer.

Datsun used to sell their cars as “The Ego Trip.”

Volkswagen ads feature a jumping and dancing car; one that can 'drift' with the best California pneumatic leapers!

The traditional view of a sales job was that to start with you needed to master the product inside and out. That is what is missing here. The drive to be good at whatever it is you are tasked with doing.

I’m not so sure being passionate about cars is such a good or important thing, however. This kiddos I’m pretty sure would say they are passionate about volunteering, with specifics in that line. In general, they have been taught that capitalism is evil, even if necessary, and so redemption comes from activism, nonprofits, etc.

What you describe is supposed to be the great success of our economy—fewer menial jobs (for non-illegals, that is), with everyone being able to aspire to and enter the middle class.

“Welcome to ‘professional’ car racing.”

Never into it except for Daytona and stock car drag racing in the 50’s. Olds Rockets and Hudson Hornets my “heroes”.

Half of the cars made in the USA are built by non union workers. 90% of the MANUFACTURING workforce in the USA is NOT in a union. Unions only represent 7% of the ENTIRE workforce. Unions are not threat. What is the main threat to US sovereignty are globalists like you. You'd de industrialize the USA and make us a weak ineffectual service oriented country. So screw that.

Don't lie you hate me. Hate is just love in reverse.

...globalists like you.

Quite a leap you've made here.

I hope you land ok.
