Before I begin, I have nothing against domestic cars, especially muscle cars. I think they are the pinnacle of America's identity when it comes to cars.
Tonight, I posted a few pictures of my M20 build on Facebook and it was met with lots of likes and responses that were positive. Well, a negative nancy had to chime in with his elitist attitude and say, "that's cute" and begin to brag about his LS camaro. This didn't particularly upset me at all but it made me think of one question:
Why do domestic owners feel the need to just absolutely try and get into a pissing match with import vehicles? To me, that is like going to a bar and trying to start a fight with a guy half my size.
I grew up around domestics, particularly Fords (my dads '69 Mustang coupe was my first real automotive exposure). I never had any hate for either side. I may bust balls about the small quirks some companies have but I never became a self-righteous bigot when it came down to it. I just never understood how people call themselves enthusiasts, but absolutely have to shit on anything that isn't made by their favorite brand of vehicle of country of origin.
