So yea, I'm not so proud of this country. Are you one of those ppl who think this is the best country in the world? We are actually about 30th on everything that matters. Education, health care, etc..

in before the lock???

really, if you think it's soooo much better anywhere else...you are free to go see for yourself, or are you too blind to see the rest of the world is just as eff'd up? There are problems EVERYWHERE.

Probably not, I cannot watch the "news" as they don't report it anymore. Thanks for playing though. :b arf::bar f: :b arf::bar f:

hey I found it more ironic to see a rush Limbaugh bumper sticker and one mocking Obama's name on a honda civic hatchback....


But yeah, you can definitely be proud to be an American and buy a foreign car. If you like that car better, why force yourself to buy something you don't like because it is "American made"

The US auto industry learned the hard way that if you build crap, you lose customers no matter how patriotic they are.

There's a guy in my gym who is retired USMC. He drives a Honda Accord and has USMC plastered all over that sucker. He is always talking about how great the country is. The car you drive does not make the person.

oh and I understand where you are coming from. but even with this country's problems. There is just SO much good about it. Forget the politics for a bit and look at the opportunity you have just because you live in this darn country. It's pretty amazing.

I mean on a super small scale, I was so proud to be able to buy a Camaro with 426HP at my age. There's no other country where you can buy this car for so cheap. That's one opportunity I am glad to have had!

For you people that don't like it here, don't let the door hit you in the a** when you leave.

There are much worse places in this world to live in by far.

Yeah, like pretty much everywhere if you add up all the things you can do in this country that you can't do in any one other country.... I mean seriously, we've got frigid tundra lands and hot tropical lands all in one country. We also have pretty much every culture in this country and if you were so inclined you could learn a lot about so many different cultures just by traveling around this country. Then there's the wide variety of career paths available in this one country, then there's the class mobility which is still better than pretty much anywhere. Not saying it's easy, but damn, people can complain all they want, but really you just need to count your blessings and realize that none of us (especially on a forum for people with brand new cars) have it bad.

First off, you need to read Camaro5's rules. You obviously don't have the slightest clue about them. A huge one is no is political discussion.

If you're not proud of this country, then leave. Simple as that. If you're not gonna leave, then grow some balls and stop b*tching about it on a forum.

No, I'm not always proud of this country, but this country is my home. And I would die for it and the people in it anyday, including you.

So please, have more respect for yourself, your country, and the people in it.
