Let them eat cake.
My father hated to see me park a Subaru in his driveway.To this day, my husband WILL NOT buy a Japanese car and it wouldn't matter if they got 5 times the mileage of American cars. Not gonna happen.
I own and drive a Toyota Tacoma and flat out love it. It has proven to be better than all my previous American (ford, dodge, chevy, etc.) vehicles.
Son # 1 drives a Ram 150 and loves it. It is his second Ram truck. First was a Hemi and the current is Diesel. I would still take my Tacoma over his Ram. Six speed and if I keep my lead foot off the accelerator, I can get up to about 30 MPG. His Ram 1500 has been back in the shop several times to fix bugs. My Tacoma has not had single issue and is about two years old.My son works for Toyota as a mechanic. I asked him a couple of years ago to find me a good used truck...he brought me a RAM 2500. That should tell you something.
16 years and my Tundra has been in the shop once that wasn't an oil or tire change. And that was my fault, I bent the drive shaft. It has not had an easy life...
I agree, they should mind their OWN business and keep their ideas and morals OUT OF MINE!!!!Whoever wants to eat worms, can. Whoever wants to drive an EV, can. I'll continue eating meat, and driving gas and diesel vehicles.
I'm sick of people trying to take control over our lives.
If you have an automotive trade school nearby, you might work out some kind of deal, where the students handle the repair (you of course pay for parts) and you donate something to the students /school. Just a thought.Uh oh! I'm in trouble... have a Honda accord..2007 model! Been hanging on to that car for dear life. Never had a najor mechanical problem out of it until few months ago, leaking oil and starts smoking bad within 30 seconds. I haven't driven it in several months, procastinating to get it checked out and I have alternate vehicle to drive. Finally got mechanic to look at it last week. His shop is close and he came by to prevent me towing it. said I'm better off selling it out for junk at this point! Headgasket. I loved that car and am in denial I need to junk it! I'm not up for buying new car due to so expensive makes me ill, and used prices are outrageous too. I guess I'll be driving the dodge mini van for a while longer.

Feel your pain. Car I truly loved and paid 15k and drove for 9 years. Would cost me 10k plus for the motor.It was only valued at about maybe 3,500 before this happened and it only has 138k miles on it and it's 15 yrs. Old. Im told it needs new motor for windshield wipers too. Since I started working from home 2 yrs ago, I never go anywhere from Monday to friday...back in the day I traded vehicles about every 2-3 yrs. Without batting an eye. Arrghh..
I agree, SC here too!!I went meatless for six weeks in the 1980s with DW.
Tofu is okay if you put it in a dry rub, but I do not like a lot of soybeans.
I never eat fake meat, if like condemning nude beach & then wearing a itty bitty bathing suit on the beach.
If it is wrong, then why make something that a lot like it.
