so i finally got ridiculed for owning a "foreign" truck

so i went to lunch the other day with some old co-workers. one of the guys saw me get out of my truck and said, "oh.. you own a piece of shit foreign truck." i didnt say anything at that point because i didnt feel like i had anything to prove to him. i just let it go.
we all sat down in the restaurant and then he went on this big tirade about only supporting american companies, only buying american, that these foreign companies are the downfall of the US economy. he also said that he was a "true texan" and only buys american. (he was born and raised in texas). and on and on....

so after a few minutes of this, he got a text message and pulled out his iPhone. then i said, "oh ya, where do you think that iPhone of yours was made?"

he shut his mouth at that point

 

Niiiiice !!! I dont give a damn what he's driving guarantee half of it was built somewhere else, what a tool....

 

What does he drive, a Dodge? Unless it is a Ford, chances are Toyota is more American.

 

Seriously! What a big mouth small brain.

BTW, Dodge had to retract their "Imported from Detroit" sales pitch because it was total bullshit.

 

This. We have allowed the corporations and politicians to sell us out.

 

Ask him where is American brand truck is when it hits 100,000 miles. IF it hits 100,000 miles.

 

Arnt tacomas assembled in Texas? And dodge = Mexico.

 

F350 diesel dually will do it without breaking a sweat.

 

My Charger was built in Canada - and motor came from Mexico...

 

My Tacoma was assembled in Texas. So tell him to shut his mouth on that.

The iPhones, are actually made in California.

 

ya... he drives a ford F-150. i also pointed out that not all of the ford products are "made in america".

i wish i could have shown him this article:

You beat me to it.

 

I love people like that.

 

My truck was built in California.

 

LOL maybe the software for the iPhone is made in Cali. Certainly not the hardware

 

I was bustin a guy today about ownin a husky chainsaw and his reply was "ill bet you drive a ford n plow with an international" Said "nope, drive a toyota and a honda, and my bike was imported from spain" He had nothing else to say

 

It happens man.
Had a Gas attendant tell me his stock "JEEP" Comander will "eat my dumb J*p Toyota FJ cruiser for lunch"

simply because.... "it's a Jeep..& Jeeps own offroad"

according to Scott @ the 76 station here in Redlands
