BUY AMERICAN (avoid that made in China)

[quote=CA renter]Ditto those observations, BG.

Also, I think some of these wives, especially the Asian ones who are supposedly more “subservient” are really not all that subservient in the home. They can be very demanding! ;)[/quote]

I would tend to agree with you on this, CAR, especially since they can be very demanding in business. :=}

CAR and BG – That’s been my experience and observations as well. I’m almost starting to think the subservient aspect is a myth. They’re running the show.

But you must take into account that when courted by an American in their own country, they pulled off a “demure and subservient” role with aplomb, enough to be able to travel to the U.S. with and marry their “sponsor” and later bring in up to 12 other family members using the same “sponsor’s” SSN. Many later divorced after all their family members were legally here.

This widespread “sponsorship” no longer happens to this extent now, but was a common occurrence from the mid-seventies up through the early nineties, when American military bases in certain countries were closed.

I don’t blame foreign women for wanting more opportunity for they and their families at any cost. What I DO have a problem with is single men stating that they PREFER foreign-immigrant partners over American women when they themselves are American-born. I believe many of the mens’ reasons for this preference are based upon misconceptions and even false pretenses.

Different strokes, I guess.

Well, I have to agree with some of those statements about “maintenance” some of the imports that might have misconstrued of needing “Honda” level service…It was just that…misconstrued…As Nissan has proved with the GTR, it is entirely possible to have an import ridiculous levels of maintenance that rivals other brands, and yet have the most ridiculous self-imposed stringent restrictions, like launch control… And some of said of this imported element (symbol “WO” on the element chart) can and will be extremely volatile and unstable at high speeds. There’s a second issue with some of the imports in that. Often, the import is packaged with a lot of (relatives) options which were listed as optional equipment, but in reality come with the entire package and very rarely can be separated, in which case everything needs to be housed together under one roof.

That’s why sometimes selecting from preowned inventory might be by far a better deal.
The problem, however, has always been, that the best/most reliable domestics are usually limited in production, have a long waitlist, with very little room for negotiation.
