The last American car I bought needed repairs 5 or 6 times in the first two years. I traded it in for a non-American car. In 11 years, it hasn't needed service once. I get the oil changed once a year as recommended and it's been great!
Toyota’s are the best. I’ve put over 240,000 miles on two Toyotas that never cost me money for repairs and lasted 5 more years after they were paid off.
I’ll will dunk on Count Dude where’s my Hairline until my dying breath. I’ll never stop, like a Terminator powered by a limitless amount of fuck that guy.
Not to mention the manufacturer that is most respected in Europe is Ford and their main plant in Detroit just laid off 600 workers because Trump crashed the economy deliberately based on the Oligarchy keeping him out of prison telling him to.
Because Japanese vehicles are RELIABLE; don't know about UK or EU vehicles except the Cooper Mini looks like it may be a winner, evolved from the Morris Mini Minor - I had one, excellent and reliable, front WD crosswise, named it The Flying Festoon. American ones are junk except for the Rivian EV.
This is so funny because I hate, hate, hate Stephen Miller so much. He is a horrible person who has done terrible things. He's the boil on trump's behind.
I put him up there with the sewer rat turd covered in fungi that is Steve Bannon. Why are the bad ones named Steve? I always liked that name.
If I could pick one person from the Trump administration that I'd like to get in a MMA cage with, it would be Stephen Miller. I may be old and fat but I'm pretty sure that I can still kick his ass.
That said, we all know why American cars aren't so popular out of the US. Americans only know how to make flashy and impractical cars, and not how to make better, practical cars. They make fun of Peugeot, yet you see a LOT of Peugeots in the UK. They don't know what's good for them.
"Flashy" - "Look at me!"
Overheard woman who bought expensive vehicle: "I wanted ppl who saw me to know that I've finally made it."
Dollars to doughnut 99.9% of ppl she drives by/parks beside don't pay attention to yet another $80K vehicle.
You can tell 'old money'. They'll drive favourite beaters.
I was once at an "old money" club and was surprised how old the cars were on average, old but expensive once. I remember Lexus was a favorite, of course no one there was driving a Dodge van.
It’s called competition. It’s makes everyone build better and think smarter. It’s why America was 1st in the world because we believed in this.
Also why loser white dude are scared of Hispanic and black males. They don’t want to compete.
With the exception of a 1966 Dodge Dart, all American cars I have owned have been replete with problems. My current vehicle, a 2004 Lexus RX330 has been pure gold. It was assembled in Japan. I have owned it since 2015. Love it!
I drove my old boss's Lexus wagon when I lived in Australia, great car to drive, so comfortable.
His son has it now, it must be close to 20 years old now.
Oh this might be the best thing I have seen in a month(other than Tim Millers rant yesterday about sad maga who lost all his money.) This is prime material.
That just made my day!
I believe I truly hate Miller more than all of them.
And I am not at all a hateful person. That guy’ll bring it right outta ya though…
Ireland does not pay the most living wage in Europe. But from the 1st of January 2025. All employees over 21years. €13:50/ hour. 39 hour week. 3 weeks paid Annual leave.
Up to 6 weeks Certified Sick leave.
And the Constitutional right to join a trade union.
🇮🇪🇪🇺
Those under 21 years earn €1:00 less.
But have all other employment rights.
Apprenticeships
Have a different pay structure.
1st year 20% of first year craft rate. Rising to 80% in year 4.
They have all Irish and EU employment rights.
🇮🇪🇪🇺
Thank you. I remember that discussion 15 years ago in Germany about internships. It lead to many companies running on interns rather than employees. That’s why I ask. Now, there’s a time limit for unpaid/ lesser paid internships
Tipping is Discretionary.
Starbucks employees over 21 years. €13:50/ Hour. 39hour week. 3 weeks paid Annual leave. Plus anything else. Same applies to McDonald's Burger King.
And every other American European employer.

My favourite U.K. roadsign: "Oncoming vehicles in the middle of the road". Sometimes they tell you who has the right of way, sometimes they don't. "You figure it out". I always get the smallest manual transmission car I can rent when I visit.
We do the same thing when we travel out of country.
Even in the 'before times' when we'd travel to the USA we'd book a small vehicle.
Almost every time the rental company tries to put us in a monster gas guzzling tank & we have to ask them to check our reservation asking for the small vehicle.
This is very true. I went to Phoenix last fall and ordered a compact rental. They gave me an Escalade instead and I freaked out until I got it on the road and like yeah ok this is easy.
1) Decades of lack of anti-trust enforcement largely eliminating competition among domestic car makers 2) Our streets have tons of American cars from the GM, Ford, and Stellantis. 3) Many “foreign” names are actually now American made; Toyota is one of them. 4) Many vehicles have hybrid assembly.
A LOT of components are made in other countries, then shipped to US plants for final assembly. My Nissan was assembled at the factory in Smyrna Tenn. The engine was assembled at another facility in Dechard Tenn. "American-made" is a talking point, not a reality
Cannot ignore the fact that while US autos are getting bigger and bigger, the roads and parking in many European, Japanese and Korean roads/cities are not conducive for such autos
This is a flat out lie, i see for more American cars on our roads than foreign cars. Maybe he should be concerned about why our streets are filled with protestors.
When I traveled to Barcelona, this was my first thought. Smaller cars are better all throughout Europe. I traveled around for five weeks. I think I saw one SUV.
There’s nothing in the Geneva Convention proscribing the use of Larry Bird level shit-talk yet. Let them have it and let the chips fall where they may; I’ll worry about being brought before The Hague on war crimes later.
The reason eur doesn't use "American cars" is that cities are older and tight streets with far higher gas prices. Also ford has been in UK/Europe since 1905 so there are plenty of fords for example.
Guarantee that if Europe and Japan were driving nothing but American cars, Miller would be complaining about how the American car industry is subsidizing the EU and the Japanese and they are contributing nothing back. This rhetoric is such that the other side can *never* win. Eternal grievance.
Yep, also a factor having to do with cities being built centuries earlier than US cities. Also speaks to a general mindset of car culture in the US. Bigger = better. Hence the prevalence of SUVs and big trucks bought for ego versus utility.
I have owned several cars in my lifetime my Honda Pilot, Acura MDX, Nissan XTerra, Chevy Corvette, Toyota Sienna, VW Rabbit and Tesla Y(sorry) were all made in America.
My only foreign made car was an Acura RSX
Stephen Miller has no clue.
Besides US streets ARE filled w US HQ carmakers vehicles. But since the bald aging parasite known as Santa Monica Goebbels has ZERO clues how supply chains work, that vampire wont know that NO CARS ARE 100% made from start to finish in any one country. & DUMBER THAN A STUMP MAGATS ALSODONT KNOW THIS
Somebody please teach them how trade works.
USA is buying EU cars because they are better, and EU is-was buying USA weapons because there are better.
And this makes both more rich. Well not anymore I guess.
UPDATE:
trump must feel very self assured that "all is well" if he has chosen to ignore the entire world by golfing all weekend.
But is someone, somewhere in the world, plotting to make it all stop?
trump really thinks the entire world is his to mess with however he chooses?
Why is he golfing?
Perhaps if this vile piece of shit had ever traveled to Europe and wandered around an old city with its winding, narrow streets, he'd have a fucking clue as to why American vehicles aren't a good match there.
American made cars are expensive for Americans, not just Europeans. CEOs and shareholders refuse to absorb the costs of living wage increases and instead the consumers pay for it.
Cars made here are enormous. There's no space for that nonsense in most other countries. Our vehicles are completely silly. I'd bet 90% of huge F-150/250 sized trucks never haul anything bigger than a sheet of plywood. Mostly it's just groceries.
It's true. I live in New Orleans, and there are a bunch of refineries near us. It's among the cheapest in the US because of low gas taxes (we produce a lot of oil in Louisiana).
Recently, I paid US$2.40/gal for gas. That's US 64¢/liter. This is how we are able to have such stupidly large cars.
Thanks, wow, that is cheap!
We pay ~$2.00/litre in Australia (price fluctuates a bit). I think this explains why your cars are not so popular in other countries though, too expensive to run.
You’re right , the size of the vehicles matters a lot too. I know that in London the roads couldn’t handle such large vehicles and would also have to pay expensive congestion fees.
Congestion charges and small streets are prime examples of unfair non-tariff trade barriers erected by European governments deliberately to penalise American car makers…
Yeah, this was my thought. Miller is the type of person that would make me turn and leave the building, even if I had somewhere else to be, if I saw him across the length of a parking garage. No one is voluntarily sexing him up.
Europe and Japan have trains. We used to have trains, but men with small brains and even smaller dicks kept seeing long trains entering tunnels and it upset them, but nobody every knew for sure if it was due to jealousy or because the image pulled them away from their tentative religious beliefs.
Don’t the Japanese drive on the left side of the road like the British? I remember reading something about that once. I mean, you wouldn’t buy a car with the steering wheel on the wrong side.
They do drive on the left.
And for a fee, they do have auto shops that will fix the steering wheel issue. However, with the auto-deduction of tolls from cars nowadays (unless the toll gates are malfunctioning), it's not much of an issue these days. Just can the driver drive the car properly or not.
I think he and the rest of the cabinet are fully aware of this. They just need to put a new talking point out there for the MAGAs. Something new for them to parrot without doing a lick of research.
It's also a test to see if the cult still believes their b.s. It's easily tracked by likes & shares.
I've got a pretty decent imagination, and for the life of me I can't imagine the mindset of a woman be willing to have consensual sex with Stephen Miller.
Comments
Patrick Stewart was voted the sexiest guy on TV back in the ST:TNG days.
Why? Cause Cpt. Jean Luc Picard had freakin style.
By comparison, Miller is Ensign Sh!t_for_brains.
It would be interesting to know why he's the awful monster he is.

The same applies to Infinity, subsidiarity of Nissan.

Here, pretend you’re driving a Ford F350 down this little street?
Even in the 'before times' when we'd travel to the USA we'd book a small vehicle.
Almost every time the rental company tries to put us in a monster gas guzzling tank & we have to ask them to check our reservation asking for the small vehicle.
But yes, American cars are very large and consume too much fuel to make sense here.
Plus, we have superior cars estate cars (wagons) and hatchbacks are peak car, while pickups are only used by farmers, people who ACTUALLY USE THEM.
Almost all of them
So those cars you see were probably built here
Please don't post images without the alt text.
How do we find that portal and send him back...?
The rest of the world: Build better cars.
The United States: Pay the president to put tariffs on them.

American cars are just the physical manifestation of macho nonsense and burning money (and the climate).
Me? I drive a Fiat 500c. Gotta run. (Putting the top down).
CIAO.
Hello, my new best friend.
The other thought I have is “coals to Newcastle”.
And for a fee, they do have auto shops that will fix the steering wheel issue. However, with the auto-deduction of tolls from cars nowadays (unless the toll gates are malfunctioning), it's not much of an issue these days. Just can the driver drive the car properly or not.
Malfunctioning toll booths hit seven prefectures. Now that's a nasty traffic mess...
glad their train system is an alternative to the cars...
And my Ford was made in Mexico!
Could it be this guy doesn't know what he's talking about?
It's also a test to see if the cult still believes their b.s. It's easily tracked by likes & shares.
He's a poster boy for sexual abstinence.
