minus-squarepapalonian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 months ago that eliminates all American car brands “good” already did 😉
minus-squareanomnom@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 months agoYeah there are some good car parts made here, but then they get installed in the worst designs and build quality since 1970s Britain.
minus-squarecaptainlezbian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoYep, (and even if not for him we did have Andrew Jackson once) German, Japanese, and south Korean are out too. Italy is doubly eliminated.
