i think this is a mischaracterization of the difference. the way i see it, west coasters do not idolize their cars or place them on a pedestal as much. i would certainly not characterize it as a lack of loyalty or lack of passion. there is certainly plenty of both of those things here. one could alternatively posit that east-coasters are more materialistic and care more about possessions (which i am saying to play devil's advocate, not that i believe it necessarily) and less about things that are truly important that should be subordinated to material possessions.
