I also see a gray Limited coupe downtown in the morning. He comes in on 394, takes the 12th St. exit, turns on LaSalle and parks in the garage in the US Bancorp Center. Always looks sharp. Then there's the dirty red coupe in the church parking lot on Hennepin with the wing perpetually up.
Did anyone else notice this letter in
yesterday's Strib?
A May 5 letter writer says that people who buy foreign cars should be ashamed. As a dues-paying union member, I take pride in purchasing American rather than foreign cars.
I drive a Chevy Aveo made in Korea. My wife drives a Chevy HHR made in Mexico. And my fancy new Chrysler Crossfire was made in Germany. Before that, I had a Chevy Camaro that was made in Canada. I know that some Hondas, Toyotas, Subarus and even Mercedes-Benzes and BMWs are assembled here in America, many in union shops.
Oh well, I'm glad I buy from American car companies. Oh, wait -- Chrysler is now owned by ...whom?
STEVE CHAPLIN, PLYMOUTH
Congratulations on your "fancy" new car, Steve!
