Oh, but he's right. In japan or Europe, they don't even HAVE tow trucks, 'cause cars there enver break down! In fact, the independent repair shop doesn't exist there, either, as no one ever ned to repair a car there. Tow trucks and repair shopps are American (or British) inventions for American and British cars. Didn't you know that?

Come on, Merc. Don't you know that with those cars in the photos, it was the owner's fault and not the fault of the cars?

Well currently there are 3 Made in America American built cars/trucks in the driveway. The truck is sold, just waiting for the guy to pick it up.

My grandsons Chevy just left 2 weeks ago on a hook and my neighbor 2000 Chevy PU left on a flatbed 3 weeks ago with a busted differential.

I also post the truth when I see plenty of American cars on the side of the road awaiting assist (and I don't mean just a flat tire) and on flatbed trucks.

And I never said or hinted that it was illogical that only American cars need repairs.

I get it. Because a 2000 Chevy PU has a busted differential, all American cars are unreliable!

I also posted the truth. And so did Merc... and with photographic evidence, yet.

From my observations, there are no bigger "fanboys" than those who admire Japanese cars. Especially the ones with the ridiculous 5-foot tall wings on the back and the stickers which add 50 horsepower!

If I believed that, why would I be be driving all American Made cars.?
All cars have problems. Get it!

Hey. I can post pictures of all kinds of cars on the hook or on flatbeds, it's not hard to do.

You didn't but it did sound like PeepoRsheep did.

It's not "cheep" (cheap) shots; it's analysis and comments.

No, the biggest fanboys are those who say "buy American support the unions".

I'll chime in that I've seen plenty of junky old Nissans and Toyotas broken down on the side of the road before. I also have seen an old Corolla engulfed in flames. However, most have long rusted away around here, unlike the 25 year old Cavalier or Cutlass Ciera that, for all their faults, are still on the road.
