Some of us remember back to days of yore (sometime in the early 90s) when buy American came back in a big way and ever since the media and the populace at large have started to fixate on the "Made In America" label. Today's entry comes from the liberal writer, Michael Tomasky, in The Guardian talking about hybrid cars, emphasis mine:

I had a camry once. What I don't understand is how everyone talks about how great of a car they are yet every Camry driver I know rags on their car. I for one hated mine too. It was the worst mistake I ever made in purchasing a car. I had a worn out 250,000 mile Ford Explorer that did a million times better than that hunk of junk. It was the biggest POS car I ever owned.

Hey now, don't talk shit on the camry, my manual transmission camry is one of my favourite cars!

LOL well I'm sure if I had a manual too I'd love it. I love Manual cars in general but I always get stuck or suckered into buying automatics. My next purchase will DEF be manual

I was at a porsche event the other weekend and one of the professional drivers tell me that these manu-matic (Porsche's version is called PDK) are getting so good that even the pros are starting to be converts. And you better buy soon because strictly manual may very well be going the way of the dodos soon, Ferrari speculates that within the next development cycle they will abandon manual completely.

But anyway, stop with all this teasing me, what with your affinity for manual transmission, a fellow can develop a crush! Tongue in cheek, of course.
