AMERICAN CARS: A MESSAGE TO BUBBA

HEY BUBBA! Let's go buy us an all-American car. We'll show them Japs we ain't so lazy nor dumb! We'll let all them furrin cars rot in their new-car lots. Hell wif 'em!

And all them people what works in those places, why, the onliest reason they work there is so's they kin send all that money to Japan. The mechanic at the Subaru place and the salesman at the Acura place, hell, they don't need their jobs. Them receptionists and parts guys at the Honda store don't deserve to work in the good ol' U.S. of A. anyhows!

So let's show them Japs a thang or two. We'll mosey down to the Ford place and buy a Probe, or mabey we'll go to the Chevy lot and buy a Spectrum.

Uh - Bubba. Them is American cars, ain't they? GREG HASTINGS ROANOKE
