Due to the price of gasoline over past twenty years Americans have been purchasing smaller & more economical cars. Most of these small cars are death traps. This is happening everyday and we have just about put the American auto industry out business. California is the leader in Japanese car sales. What will become of our country when there are no longer jobs available for our future generation?

The Honda Civic is a Japanese car made in America. The Thunderbird is an American car made in Canada. Go figure.
