I will accept your defense of Japanese cars, but I will always refuse to drive one. Are you really looking at the impact the loss of the auto industry has had on Detroit? I still find it odd that my entire family, since 1970, parents, inlaws-outlaws, children, aunts, uncles, cousins, and now grandchildren ALL have driven AMERICAN cars and no one has ever had a problem.
Great, you and your family are extraordinarily lucky. There can be no other explanation. The figures are true and attempt at research will prove that.
