Yeah yeah. Rice burner. Tokyo toilet. I got hundred's of em. I'm from suburbia DETROIT. I have two family members retired from GM, others still work there. I'd like them to be able to retire too.
If foreign diluted america keeps buying jap crap, maybe we can flip burgers and sell insurance for a living? How'd ya like yer burger sir?
importliller isn't even on par with me on that one.  I feel better. Now what kind of insurance did ya need on that weedhopper?
and I'm asian. thanks for the "funny" references. have any special names you use to refer to us as people? or just the "crap" my type produces? btw, I'm sure the computer you're using comes with all american-made parts from american companies too. /sarcasm off.
for what it's worth, japanese cars are great for those who don't have time to do necessary maintenance. must sound like sin to most people here, since it seems like everyone here takes very good care of their cars. fact remains, though, not all people have the time or money to do all the necessary maintenance. my parents don't. they have a pair of hondas (1991 and 1994) that see an oil change every 12k miles....if they're lucky. never had the radiator flushed. tires never rotated; rebalanced only when tires are replaced. nothing except the tires (and oil filter during an oil change) have been replaced before (not even the wipers). never a single problem.
sorry for the rant; I'm just tired of the whole domestic vs. import crap. there's upsides and downsides to both. in general, they're just different cars. different strokes for different folks.

lets not turn this into a fight between "pro american" and "Everyone else"...
i have two built V8s, and I also have a turbo 4...the "charger" is built in canada, as were camaros...most of the parts on my newer dodges werent produced in this country. the edelbrock intake and valves covers i got for my demon were made in china.
anyway, i dont want to have to step into an argument over racial nonsense, so i ask that everyone please let it go...thank you.

Jeez. My term "foreign diluted" was referring to products, not people. Sorry for the digression. I'll go back to watching my Sony TV now  as soon as I get done typing on my Dell.
Thank you for recognizing my sick sarcasm.

Let's clear this up. Premuim=no advantages. I have always ran premium in my other vehicles. As long as there are no disadvantages of running premium, than I will keep using it.

As a matter of fact, most computer parts are produced in Taiwan, not Japan. Also, most labor intensive parts are produced in cheap labor countries such as China... not Japan.
Oh and FYI, it was Americans who created the internet and the computer.
Please do not start anything here or assume because someone said jap crap that they are immediately racist or negative towards your race or thinks you are inferior.

As oppose to...???? Now you are going here off on a crusade?

So you assume that American cars needs to be maintained more? Huh? Oil change ever 12k miles, let me remind you of something... SYNTHETIC OIL. Works in all cars 
Never had the tires rotated, I'm sorry here bro, but all cars NEEDS tires rotated, if it has 4 wheels and drives on rubber, to ensure even wear you HAVE to rotate it. Rebalanced only when replaced? You think a honda automatically balances the tires while it drives? Umm buddy, I don't think a tire cares what car it's mounted to.
Wipers? Same company makes them for most OEM's... once again, nothing special here.
I don't know where you get your logic, you want us not to flame your cars, but then you come here and make these gross assumptions that are so ill-informed it's almost sickening.

Obviously you are not, you made your point quite clear that we are in the wrong and imports are superior... if you didn't mean to, you would have just said this last quote instead of trying to show how superior imports are in maintenance...
No one here is racist or shows any type of hatred to any type of culture, keep that in mind. We do occasionally like to poke fun at some types of cars (not the culture that they were born from) in a friendly rib poking form. We realize that our cars are not 50mpg, runs 100k without problems, and are perfect, but to us, they are our cars that we enjoy. Your cars are not big and have limited space/power/whatever, but thats what you enjoy. There will always be some form of rib jabbing fun around here and in every import forum. Keep that in mind. Oh and dont' go calling me racist or anything like that either, my best friend is Asian (Chinese - Korean) and my family used to own large stakes in Nissan dealerships... not to mention we drove Hondas, BMW's, Mercs, and Nissans in the past. You will find a lot of hummer folks also have an import or in some point in time did.

Yes there is a huge disadvantage... you pay more.
Why would you put in better gas when knowingly there are no advantages in your setup?
