Hey I got a question for you military guys. The other day I was just cruising and I see a red pickup truck ( ford F150 ) with a huge sign on the tailgate that said something like

" please take off your american flag stickers off your foreign car You arent an American and you arent proud. If you buy a foreign car you are unamerican and a traitor "

This really pissed me off because I know theres a lot of men in the service who enjoy their japanese cars whether its a civic evo DSM suby 240sx ect. Do any of you guys get mocked or anything if other soldiers find out you drive a import?

Thanks for serving

Some try to, but they are few and far between. Then I just remind them that even Harley had to get Japanese help to fix their quality/reliability issues, that usually shuts them up. Besides, there really is no such thing as a 100% American made car, they get parts made/assembled in Mexico, China, Taiwan, and a few other countries.

Not at all...most of my friends in the Marines drive imports in fact. One of my best friends drives a 04 WRX...I'd be willing to bet that guys never even served.
