When you have too much free time on your hand and fame just isn’t coming your way, here’s one thing you can try: big the biggest thing that hasn’t gotten to the Guinness Record Book and enjoy some attention. Here are a few of the most useless biggest things we have come across. The last question you need to ask is “why?”!
Posted by Calli Arcale | November 10th, 2008 8:59 pm Actually, most cars sold in America are made in America. This is because the import taxes are very high. Why else do you think Nissan and Toyota and Honda have opened plants in the US? It’s to get around that pesky import tax. I used to drive a Nissan Sentra that was made in Tennessee. Seriously. (MInd you, the *parts* aren’t always made in the US. Those don’t suffer the same steep import tax as complete cars do, so they can be made abroad, often in Mexico, and imported.) I was amused to see the giant buffalo from Jamestown, North Dakota on the list. Growing up, we used to drive from the Twin Cities to Bozeman, Montana via I-94, which goes right through Jamestown. The giant buffalo was one of our waypoints. Post a comment |
