I was reading a story on Fark about a type of air conditioner that a couple of kids were working on perfecting. They had claimed that they found a way to make some old, inefficient AC method more efficient. It also eliminates Freon which helps the environment.
I decided to check out the comments. I didn't understand how it works by reading the article. I hoped that someone in the comment section might explain it.
Of course, a comment occurs at "2005-07-21 06:43:23 PM" that really sticks on my craw. You can look it up if you like. It says, "How sad that some people openly prefer a jap car over an American car." Of course, as a driver of a "Jap car" this irks me greatly. A lot of "Jap cars" are made here in America. Of course, the reason that I want a "Jap car" is that I get great gas mileage. I get 36 miles per gallon even with the AC on and an automatic transmission. The closest to that is the Chevy Aveo at 35 mpg. (Of course, that's the estimate. They never seem to get what they advertise.) Of course, all that Detroit ever pushes is bigger and faster. Even when they make a hybrid, it turns out to be an SUV. The Ford Escape Hybrid gets 36 mpg highway. That means that it still gets worse gas mileage than my non-hybrid car.
So because of this "Jap car" comment, I'd like to play a little game. See of you can guess how many of the following cars are made by the "Big 3."
Ford, Saturn, Buick, Maybach, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, Smart, Lincoln, Dodge, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Land Rover, Jeep, GMC, Freightliner, Aston Martin, Mitsubishi, Hummer, Mazda, Oldsmobile, Volvo, Pontiac, Mercury, and/or Saab.
Of course, I think that the "Big 3" should be called as the "Big Two And A Half." After all, one of them isn't all-American anymore. I only included the names above that I could recognize. I didn't include cars sold in other countries. I also didn't include partnerships. Like the fact that Chevrolet started using Isuzu four cylinders in the mid eighties in their S-10's.
So how many of those cars are made by the Big Three? All of them.
Buy American. Buy a Mazda. Or a Saab.
