We do not need yet another version of the imports vs domestics arguement that keeps coming up all over the place.   This is supposed to be about whether you'd avoid a manufacturer because of a bad public policy, not a debate about which models or manufacturers are your favorites.

Replying to: pf_flyer (Mar 12, 2007 4:09 am) In case no one bothered to look up what my initial beef was with the Governor of Indiana and his supporters (Toyota and others) on this measure, it was a DOUBLING of taxes (tolls) on Indiana I80/I90 right away and then 75 years of higher tolls at the inflation rate or higher thereafter. This "lease" was purchased by a foreign consortium with an up-front check.   So in other words, sell off the state assets and spend the money now and be sure to give work/favors to those who support you in this endeavor. THIS IS GOVERNMENT AT ITS WORST!   I really believe Mitch Daniels has Short Man's Syndrome and such ego boosting projects as Major Moves are his way of dealing with his own insecurities.   Let's hope that all the publicly funded interstates and highways in the USA aren't sold to the highest bidder.
