Well first, Honda isn't a car. It's a car make. And the Civic can win the award because it's both built and sold in America. Last I checked, America is part of the North American continent.

I flat out fucking refuse to get back into this bullshit arguement again. Go to Mustang forums, lemon. That line sounds as if it came from one of those ignorant fuckwads.

 

[lemon]

heh - i know you do not like this arguement. and fuck mustang forums. all they want is "ooh, i just bought this shit. i just got another 25hp.." boring. heard it 10 times already.

seriously though. i knew you were going to say something like the second post - thats why i said "james is going to have a field day with this one" becuase of my first response to the thread.

 

[TheOriginalJames]

I wouldn't have said anything if I wasn't called out on it.

I come here to get away from car talk.

 

[lemon]

you come to the automotive section of otz to get away from car talk?

heh - im jesting, i swear! i know what you meant.

 

[TheOriginalJames]

No, I come to OTz. I just happened to notice civic in the thread here, so I stopped in to see me getting called upon.

Don't mind me. I had a great day until 4 pm, that's about the time I walked under a ladder and right by a black cat flying into and shattering a big mirror. and I'm still pissed.

 

[lemon]

heh - its all good with a side dish of yawn excellent

Not to mention Honda (atleast in Ohio) is one of the best companies to work for. They have NEVER in their history of the Ohio plant had a layoff. Everyone in their facility is considered an associate. From the top down the associate where a white uniform to signify the equality of importance of every person in the company. Next to Toyota, Honda would be a prime choice of employement for me.

 

[TheOriginalJames]

I've been by that plant several times in Ohio, it's on US33 between Decatur, IN and Columbus, OH.

 

[OUZBnd]

And they are building a new plant in Indiana

 

[TheOriginalJames]

Lafayette, right? I know they're building one. I forget where though.
