My brother, who was quite a bit older than I, was in the USMC Air Wing in the Pacific. A family legend was after the war my mother bought some Christmas decorations. When my grandfather saw the 'Made in Japan' label he stomped them into shards. I was raised to not buy anything from Japan although that became impossible by the '80s. In the '90s my brother showed up in his Winnebago towing a Toyota Tercel. 'I never thought I'd buy a Jap car' he said with a sheepish grin. By the 2000s he and his wife were driving Coronas or Corrolas, I don't remember which. The Tercel had failed the CA smog test so he donated it to an organization that would ship it to the third world where it may still be happily polluting the atmosphere.
