The division between “foreign” and “domestic” cars is blurred. Many of those so-called “Murican cars” are assembled in Canada of parts made in Mexico while many Japanese cars are made in the US including- Subaru Outback and Legacy, Toyota Camry, 95% of the Hondas sold to US customers. VW makes cars in Mexico.Even BMW and Mercades have US assembly plants.
With its curved shape and funky chrome latch, that is a VW hood. There was a time people thought of Beetles as “comical vehicles” too.My plugger parents traded in their old Ford station wagon and started driving a Toyota Camry, but they also kept an old pickup to haul stuff to the dump.
Not to prolong the subject of foreign versus domestic, there really aren’t any “bad” cars available in the US today.
However, regardless of where a car is assembled, I really prefer the profits from the manufacturing stay here in the good old USA, rather than Japan, Korea, or elsewhere…

It’s more likely the meter’s gonna take your money and not work.

Where’s your pickup truck? No self respecting plugger would drive a VW; or any other “foreign” car…

This is funny… I was reminiscing about my ’63 green bug this morning.

Years ago, I would take a plastic grocery bag out of the car and put it over the meter. It usually worked.
