'Cause my whole street can participate.

Pictured: Trailblazer SS, Silverado 1500, and Silverado 3500

Pictured: Silverado SS, Aveo, Silverado 1500, GMC Safari, GMC Terrain, and a little bit of first gen Mustang in the garage behind the red Silverado.

And then we have our own Silverado.

Most of the cars on my street are 'Murican, which is great.

Nice. But this thing is less 'Murican than the rest.

By "this thing" I mean the little blue Chevy sedan thing. Your Safarivan is very much 'Murican.

Yes, yes you do.

Your van is the coolest, maybe only because I've never seen one for reals.

You've never seen an Astro or a Safari?!

Nope, they never brought them over to Australia. It would have been a tough sell against the Utes and Japanese work vans of the day.

Good God. The only non-GM car on your whole block is a '65 Mustang. Not sure if you are in heaven or if this is the entire reason you love GM.

It probably has something to do with it. The entire block has always been this way for the most part. The guy who owns the TBSS traded an Audi for it.

What Audi did he have?

Jeez. Lemme count mentally here

*EDIT: My street also has roughly 32 cars, including mine, of which roughly 10 are American, and 4 are GM.

A6, I think.

...I'm conflicted. What gen, what engine, I need many specifics to decide how I feel about this.

C6 with 3.2L engine.

Welcome to Middle America, where everyone works or knows someone who works for one of the American Big 3. Thus pretty much everyone drives cars from the American Big 3.

I like the Trailblazer SS.

But I think in this case, I like the A6 more.

It depends, though. That 2-tone paint job is sweet.

I live in Middle America. The Middle of Middle America.

Boy, Six liters of freedom mounted in an SUV making almost 400 horsepower vs. a beige Audi with a V6 making about 250?

THIS SHOULDN'T EVEN BE A CONTEST.

I dunno, most of St. Louis seems to drive American cars. Maybe it had to do with there being a Chrysler, GM, and Ford plant here all at once at one point. We still have the GM plant, and there's a lot of suppliers.

Yours at least has a V8.

I know a kid in St. Louis. Funny thing, I normally remember people I don't know that well by what they drive, and I genuinely have no idea what he or anyone in his family drives. All I know is, he's fairly rich.

Probably one of their cars is a GM SUV. I swear every person who can afford one around here drives one.

I know his uncle drives an ESV, but they live in Colorado (It's hard to explain, but I found out after I knew this kid for a week that his aunt and uncle have known my mom for a long time, and I had met them before I knew him. It was funnier in person.)
