I know where there is a nice big location in New Orleans.
I was hoping that Daimler, BMW, Toyota, Hyundai, Honda, Nissan, Lexus,

lots.
They'll all be right near a port to receive all their Chinese made parts and
export completed cars to ????? ....................
By the way! Who buys these foreign cars besides Americans?
