minus-squarepapalonian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 个月前 that eliminates all American car brands “good” already did 😉
minus-squareanomnom@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 个月前Yeah 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-up1·1 个月前Yep, (and even if not for him we did have Andrew Jackson once) German, Japanese, and south Korean are out too. Italy is doubly eliminated.

minus-squarecoaxil@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 个月前Yeah that’s fair, and tbh at one point you could pretty much look in a bin a fine a perfectly serviceable barra just good for the using 😂
