Ok, my first unpositive encounter:
Was at a local farm store with an open front, and was talking to a guy who's a mechanic. He waxed enthusiastically over it and while we were talking an old lady in a PT Cruiser pulled along side and started admiring it, too. Then some other guy said as he was going to his Jeep, "Yeah, but it's not American. Think about where your money's going." His appearance and speech came across as bumpkin-ish, so I immediately figured intellectual repartee would be lost on him. Just looked up Jeep's composition by country of origin: depending on the model, it's 30% furrin, so I suppose on principle he's torn 30% of his vehicle out. The mechanic, the old lady, and I went back to our bonhomie. Two for three still ain't bad.
