Honda is crappy because its foreign?

[RyanD]

Yet another rant...

so since i go to school here in tulsa it seems everyone drives and american veichel. I have met many people that hate on my car because its a Honda not american. They all call it a rice burner and all that other shit My usual response is my car has 3 times as many miles as your ride will ever have. Have any of you had this kinda problem.

Your car is probably built in america too lol.

I've never into that problem before, but if I did, I'd probably point out that most of them were made in Ohio and brought tons of jobs and probably used American steel (unless they imported Japanese steel to Ohio).

[RyanD]

according to the VIN it was built in Japan

I always say that my American assembled 20 year old accord is still running compared to the Mexico assembled '97 Ford Ranger I used to have whenever someone gives me crap about not driving an American vehicle. They always shut up afterwards.

They were built using inland steel.

Ah well you have one of the uncommon Japanese built accords. Most cb7's in america were built in america

Not at all.

Just means it was assembled in Japan.

I had a 93 SE....mine was jhm.

All SE were.

You're just dealing with thickheaded retard kids who don't know their dick hole from a hole in the ground.

More than enough reason for me to palm their face with my hand and give their hair nice snotty racing stripes.

Many "American" cars are made in Mexico or Canada.
My base 09 Fit (the cheapest Honda car you can buy in the US) with damn near 300,000 miles on it has significantly fewer problems than my 06 CTS-V, a premium American performance sedan with an original pricetag of over $50,000. The Cadillac was made in the US, though.
I love my CTS-V, but honestly... my bargain Honda is the better-made vehicle.

my mom, who drives my car pretty much every day of the week for work, still calls my car a rice burner but hell, how do you turn down a free car no matter what kind of car it is. I used to be the same way until i found out that so many car companies had moved their business to other countries. Also she should know (being a car fanatic herself) that many "American" companies are not longer made in America! I don't let that bother me. I love my car and even though I am an American car woman still at heart I will keep this car.

[RyanD]

^ maybe i just have the problem because im die hard Honda

[Honda_Lady]

hey, think of it this way "Hater's gonna hate." there isn't anything you can do about it. you're always going to have the "macho" American boys against the Import boys.

[bobbycos]

i had the same problem with a co-worker and his Ford Ranger until i showed him the "Hecho En Mexico' tags

at least my Hyundai is a Korean built Korean car

my cb7 is from Ohio


OP, tell your haters that uncle daddy is calling them

[wed3k]

yea man, when i had my toyota pickup...everything on the inside was still cherry. but my buddies thought that if you kept anything american built well maintained, it would last as long.

well, not the case. (except the 3.slow that blew up)
