Scott Weiser (weiser@dimensional.com) said something like:
: There is a union hall down off of 58th Avenue just east of I25 which
: has a sign which says "no foreign cars in this lot", and they can
: indeed tow you away if you park there.

Heh. So if I show up in a Corolla and somebody else shows up in a Prizm...
who gets towed?

This silly stuff made some sense in 1975, but today one could argue
foreign or domestic for about 1/3 of the cars sold -- Chevy Camaros are
built in Canada, but Accords are built in Ohio. GM owns half of Saab, Ford
owns Jaguar and a big chunk of Mazda; so is my 900S American or Swedish?
Is a 626 (built by UAW workers in Michigan) American or Japanese?

Not beating up on you, Scott -- I realize you're just the messenger :)
