Frank,
I'd call those some pretty accurate (no pun intended) insightful
observations.

OK Bud,
How's this.....
Jap cars have a bunch of letters and stuff that really DOES have no 
meaning. Acura (which is ALMOST acuraTE) has TLCs and RTVs or what ever 
the letters are. What do they mean?
Ask a Lexsucks owner what does his IS 300 means? Is 300 WHAT?
There is a MAXIpad, Altima, Corroded, CRX and a bunch of other weird 
names. What is a camry? I know, it's a washing machine!
I was out to dinner tonight and listening to the guy at the next table 
talking about his $300 oil change on his Ferarri and that they have to 
pull the head to change the spark plugs at around $3500.
The shop getsd $190 per hour. I can buy a Spridget for around the same 
hourly rate. So who's laughing now ;)
Today some guy in a truck looking thing was asking me all kinds of 
questions about my Sprite while we waited out the light.
Does anyone ask anybody any questions about their honda, or toyota while

stopped at a light? Maybe what color beige do they call that there 
camry? Tan, champagne, peanut butter, or puke?
Or how about "nice silver civic you have there pal" is that the 
100,000,000,000,000,000, silver civic ever produced?
I'll take my weird little British car over any of the modern plastic 
junk out there any day. I have to drive  modern pickup for work, when 
I'm not working, I drive one of my Sprites and I don't mind the jokes, 
or the questions. I do mind people asking who makes it, I tell them and 
they ask the same question again? "Who make that?" So I say Who makes 
your toyota?
