Foreign Cars Targeted in Metro Detroit...

It seems to be a classic case of ignorance. Michigan citizens know things are tough. Things are tough especially for employees of the Big 3. So what better than to take your anger out on someone else? Or someone elses car?

WOODHAVEN, Mich. -- It seems the economic conditions and the auto industry crisis is turning some Americans against Americans.

Woodhaven police said four cars on Friday, all produced by foreign carmakers, had two tires slashed and "Buy USA" written on them.

Police said three of the cars were parked in a strip mall in Woodhaven that sits next to a Ford stamping plant.

Kim Lebecki's 2009 Toyota Camry was one of the four targeted by the vandal.

"I work very hard to make the payment to drive the car of my choice in the United States and someone else has the audacity to destroy these vehicles," Lebecki said. "It saddens me to think, 'Is this a UAW member who did this?'"

One of incidents was caught on a security tape. A red Ford Escape is seen pulling into a parking space, a middle-aged man can be seen approaching a red foreign car and slashing both tires. The man can also be seen writing a message on the car before leaving.

"We don't have any positive evidence to link a Ford employee with this incident," said Lt. Robert Harabedian, of the Woodhaven Police Department.

I'll tell you what, it's definitely not my fault that the Big 3 don't make anything worth a damn. I know that's not the workers faults either. But those workers should be blaming your employer. Not the consumers. It's not the consumers fault that no one is buying your car. Or, oil companies! Gas prices increased so high that no one could afford to buy those American cars that have zero focus on gas economy or mileage! So don't tell me it's my fault your company is in the shitter. As T.I. said: "Get on your job homie!"

I wonder why Circuit City customers arn't upset at Best Buy for being better at what we do. How's that for a thought?
