That may be true in California, but here on the east coast (the smart coast I call it) You'll be lucky to see any 80's Japanese car, and usually when you do it's a piece of shit. I've see G-body Cutlass's and Monte Carlos in better shape than their equally old japanese econo-boxes.
American cars seem to never want to die, doesn't mean they'll ever run right either. Japanese didn't understand the concept of rust proofing until the early-mid 90's.
California AND a BMW driver, can't say I'm surprised you said something that stupid.
This will be hard for a BMW californian like yourself to understand, but 'think' a little bit before you post.
Hey! He doesn't represent us all. He is from Irvine after all. Most important thing to people in the south part of Orange County is living above their means and showing off money they don't have. I've been to more stores down there that won't take credit cards/checks because they bounce so much.
The fact that he drives a the first year run of an e36 chassis only makes it even funnier. At least it's not a 318ti :lol:
One point I always make to my friends is that at least here in California, there are barely any cars that are left on the roads from the 90's let alone older or even recent American models. That's because almost all the cars from the 90's and beyond with the exception of rare classic muscle cars, have already broken down or people have traded them in for more reliable and well built cars. American's aren't as stupid as the manufacturers think we are and if people know or have experienced a car that can't even last 10 years, that does not make for repeat business unless were talking about blind stupid rednecks, which unfortunately there are too many of in this country. I swear if your driving on the highways today, you'll see a sea of japanese and euro imports many of which are still around from the 80's and 90's. You can still find honda civics and toyota corollas from the 70's fairly often. jeez and i wonder why American cars are struggling.
You need to open those eyes my friend, or take a drive 10 miles up I5. I promise you'll see a lot of 80's Americana, some 70's and a fair bit of 90's Fords. Then throw in the SUV's and it's a decent balance. Problem is the Big 3 didn't really cater to anyone who still wanted a regular car, so anyone left willing to buy a American was forced to go Japanese, or in the image obsessed south Orange County, Euro trash.
I wonder how long till I hit a neg rep for this post. Anyone who does, do me a favor and leave a time stamp with your time zone please.
