Reply #75: Why? Because they are foreign?

[JuniperLea]

I don't want to drive one either! I've always bought GM vehicles... until I couldn't afford them, or the gas they require. I was forced... it was beyond my control... I could either buy a gas efficient foreign car or do without. I have a problem... I'm not wealthy. I didn't have a choice. Had any of the American auto makers made me a deal I could afford, I would have taken it. They did not. And I gave them many, many chances before I bought my Mazda. It's six years old now and has never had a major problem... I change the oil, air filter, oil filter, tires and brakes, and it's taken me 130,000 miles so far. It was a lot less expensive to buy and to own than anything else I could afford.

What the fuck was I supposed to do? Walk? What if one of my kids needs me? Do I take the extra time to travel 22.1 miles from work on a fucking bus, catch the blue line train? Sorry. My family comes first. I won't be guilted into taking food off the table so I can be true to an American auto company that has fucked us all over royal.
