From the San Francisco Chronicle:
(Note: Image above is not the actual truck)
A Hilo Chevrolet dealer who tried to crush his Asian auto competition found the stunt a little harder to pull off than expected.
Island Chevrolet general sales manager James Severtson arranged for a Chevrolet Suburban SUV outfitted with massive tires costing $5,000 apiece to drive over a Honda Accord.
On the first attempt Friday, the monster truck blew a hydraulic hose and leaked vital fluid while the Honda remained intact and ready for more.
Surprising? Hardly.
Dealer proved that he is an idiot and thats what he was able to do. Accord proved it. I am not a asian car fan. I hate to praise honda but lets face the fact.
Surprising? No. Ironic? Beautifully.

Haha! It is almost as bad as the commercial “real men don’t eat sushi.” I like sushi and I wouldn’t mind to own a Lexus.
For intellectual ammunition, read Dr. Harry Binswanger’s piece, ‘Buy American’ is UN-American on Capitalism Magazine.
