Ouch, I can relate. I had to sell my high school ride to help pay for college – a 1970 Challenger RT, metallic blue with white vinyl top, 383, Holley 650 carb, dual hood scoops w/ locks, hush thrush mufflers, and 50 series tires. Sold it thinking I would someday buy my dream car, the most beautiful car GM ever produced, a 69 Z-28. Something about those lines and the retractable headlight covers. I still hope someday it will happen.[/quote]
Ak…. You guys are killing me….All we had was a bunch of hondas that aren’t worth diddly squat these days 🙂

Well, you won. It’s official. You should make a banner or something and hold it aloft. [/quote]Allan: I thought you gave up on this post after the embarrassing verbal lambasting you and flu received from Scarlett/Rt.66 ? Watch out for flu by the way (DNFTT).
While you are here, don’t forget to graciously ask Jeff Bridges to discontinue the Hyundai voice-overs and lead the call to buy American cars during this economic melt-down.

You might just save someone’s job and make a better future for America’s children.

Participantpaddyoh: obviously this is a really old thread, and there’s no way I can match the Green Eggs and Ham poetry.
But I just want to say I disagree with you completely and you’re on the wrong track.
You sound like you’ve gone beyond political correctness and are now on the slope to McCarthy-ism. Who decides which commericials are American-enough for actors to participate in? You?
Will you next say that certain books shouldn’t be endorsed, or written, or even read?
To explore your scatterbrained idea a bit further: would you be opposed to Americans acting in a Mercedes commercial? How about that guy who does commercials for BMW on the radio? Should we mount a petition against that bastard? Maybe find out where he lives?
What about Danish teak furniture? Do you feel that it is a threat to the Amish? Perhaps we should ban its importation – also Italian furniture while we’re at it I guess. Could you make a website for that please?
Mephisto makes some damn nice shoes – should we put a stop to that?
Perhaps none of us should travel outside the U.S. where we’ll spend tourist dollars aiding some other economy. (Not to mention the environmental damage of our flight overseas – the horror!) Maybe you could chair some committee that would decide which countries we’re allowed to travel to.
Yeah – that sounds really American to me.
