Anti American?
Discussion
Something a bit worrying happened to me over the weekend.maybe?
I was out in my Mercury and twice, among the usual “nice car mate”, I had a couple of what I later thought to be anti-American.
I’ve heard of Tesla drivers coming back to find swastikas drawn in the dirt on the dirt in their car but not classics.
Am I over thinking it or has anyone else had comments?

I'd imagine (hope!!) that you're probably over-thinking things. There'll always be a brain-dead contingent who'll take umbrage to German cars come world-cup time, for example, but these are so rare as not to be worth mentioningI was out in my Mercury and twice, among the usual “nice car mate”, I had a couple of what I later thought to be anti-American.

Never had any problems with abuse when driving a classic yank in fact totally the opposite
with smiles,waves and thumbs up and lots of polite interest when making a petrol stop which more
than can be said for other cars i've had ,
Funny thing happened yesterday though when out in my LZ1 ,was followed down the M27 by a Chrome bumper C3
Vette and a biker overtook both of us and i could see him give the C3 a big thumps up as he passed him then completely
ignoring me as if i was in a Prius , I am new to a modern yank so was surprised ,
Just goes to show how people love the classics .

It won't surprise me if this will happen with classic yanks I'm afraid, maybe not quite as much as newer stuff like is happening to Tesla's, but there will be a lot of anti-American feelings in the coming months, even directed to classics.I was out in my Mercury and twice, among the usual “nice car mate”, I had a couple of what I later thought to be anti-American.

Really can’t see it happening down here anyway,
What does a US hater actually look like ?
Musk didn’t design the Tesla brand, he simply brought a load of its stock?
Said it before, I’m so thankful I grew up in a different and hugely better time .

True, but, he basically bought into within its first year of existence, some 21 years ago, and has pretty much full funded its development from then on becoming its Chairman back in 2004, so its understandable why people associate him as being the Tesla brand in its entirety.[quote=aeropilot]

The irony of all this is most of these useless toss pots probably say “ put the trash out” or play in the yard !
Just goes to show how cushy there lives are have been if this is what they are bothered about!
I barely recognise this country now,
