ParticipantA big round of applause for Jeff Bridges and his Oscar win. Well deserved.
Two thumbs down to Jeff Bridges for continuing to shill for Hyundai, the Sweat Shop car.
I guess we’ll never know if Hyundai could have made it on it’s own in the USA had they not been allowed to dump their product here at sweat shop prices. But, we Americans tend to turn a blind eye to many things as long as the price is right. Food, childrens’ toys, sheet-rock, etc, etc. American greed. “It’s not just a character flaw. It’s a TV show !”
But I digress.
To hell with the American economy and American workers. “That Hyundai car is such a deal !”
“And, hey look ! They’re making them here now ! Down south. For much lower wages too ! ”
And the All-American Jeff Bridges aided and abetted with Hyundai’s success. For shame.
Viva le Wal Mart Car ! ;>}

ParticipantJeff Bridges is the best.
But jeeze. Couldn’t he pick a more appropriate car to shill for?
HIE-YUN-DIE ? That’s a car for Carrot Top to make commercials for. Not the Dude !
Jeff. Enough already !
Dude should be promoting American Made Cars (what’s left) like the Ford in Big Lebowski. It’s just unbecoming and way too un-dude.
Sorry but, I’m stuck in the past on this topic.
Ask Jeff Bridges to stop promoting Hyundai.

HIE-YUN-DIE does NOT rhyme with Sunday in Blue Collar America..

ParticipantIn case you forgot, my original title for this forum was:
“Time for Jeff Bridges to dump Hyundai….”
The topic understandably turned to automobiles, manufacturers, etc. – which was fine by me. I’ve made it clear that I agree with Scarlett/Rt. 66 and her belief in buying American made cars, etc. She has made her case so thoroughly I honestly do not know what I can add to defend the documented quality of the American made automobile or the mass screwing of the American blue collar worker.
The bigger picture to me has become American apathy towards American Made goods – particularly cars manufactured in the U.S.A.
It just baffles me that there is so much venom spewed by Americans against American auto workers and American made cars. It would seem that much of that comes from outright jealousy that the American auto worker had the nerve to make a decent enough wage to own a home and send his or her kids to college. That jealousy is then channeled towards the American car itself.
Then there appears to be guilt. The shame of, in a way, selling out one’s own country during a time of nearly unparalleled crisis, by buying a third world automobile and then trying to justify it by blaming it on unfounded, inferior American quality.
There are no doubt people here who have purchased an American made car that turned out to be a lemon. They have a legitimate gripe and may never buy anything other than an imported car again.
But, all the jealousy, guilt, shame, anger or whatever else is the motivation, does not change the fact that we are all still Americans. Maybe, at the end of the day, we can stop sweating the small stuff and pull together to help fix what the politicians cannot.
By buying American again, or even consciously making an effort to buy American made again, right now, today, even if it hurts or costs more, we can make a tiny step forward in restoring our sorely-needed manufacturing base. Americans did it during the World Wars. Why not now ?
Given the pickle we are in, I don’t think you can consider it protectionism. Nor blind patriotism, or being foolish with your money. Right now, today, it just makes sense.
Please take a few minutes of your time to ask Jeff Bridges to use his clout as a major celebrity and publicly renounce the Hyundai commercials and jump on the American Made bandwagon.
Go here and NOW and help nip the stealth bombing of the American auto industry in the bud:

Then, very politely ask Jeff Bridges to support the country that helped make him famous by dropping the Hyundai ads.
