I actually sometimes feel that this view makes me less of an enthusiast, because most of the people I know who are very knowledgeable about cars and driving (some of whom get paid to race) don't care whether their car is made in Germany, Japan, or Timbuktu for that matter. They don't care what manufacturer puts its badge on the back. All they see is performance per dollar, and what can get them around the track the quickest. I'm not like that. I like European cars, and I like certain marques more than others. But I realize that to these people, I'm the silly one.
I’ve owned well over 35 autos in my life and have had to opportunity to drive a lot more, I personally don’t care where the car actually comes from nor do I really care how many people agree with me. . .

To each his own . . . . . Jap/Germ/US "It's all good"......
