American Cars...

Apartheid and isolation were the biggest drawbacks ever encountered by South Africa’s history. Thankfully the latter had an impact on FWD magnanimously bringing an abrupt end to the form but during the reign of isolation we suffered immensely.

The combination of the two ensured SA is still only a developing country now despite having all the resources that should have made it 1^st world. One of the results of isolation was that our international friends didn’t want anything to do with us. They didn’t want to feed us, they didn’t want to come stay over and they didn’t want to play with us. We had no friends…

Of course a few sneaky fakkin lying bastards committed purely to making money pretended to isolate us but still made money off us like some people do in fueling Mugabe’s efforts in Zimbabwe today. The other thing was some people isolated us despite having national policies back home that threatened making SA looks like amateurs on the world oppression circuit. You could shoot aboriginal people in Australia up until like the 1980s.

But this isn’t a history lesson and I am not aiming to bitch about Australian outback pastimes. I’m looking to the bright side of post-isolation and foreign investment…

American car manufacturers are starting to get there dirty fingers in our motor vehicle pie, and it feels great. Now before you rush out and splurge your enthusiasm on a Chevie Spark just take a breath, and probably a slap to the head because I am talking about the Cadillac Escalade that should be on our showroom shelves soon…!

It’s a showdown between this and a Range Rover sport to be the car to replace my trusty A-2-B VW. Thankfully I am not threatened by possible fiscal success to have to make the decision just yet so have some time to think about it. Although if they bring out a Prius Hatchback before then I might have my choice made for me…

Chicks dig Green!
