I think the most galling ones, are the "But why not Mustang/Camaro, bro?" crowd, since it completely ignores the different missions of the cars. |

My father-in-law once asked why I got a "Jap car"* and not a domestic like a Camaro or a Mustang. He's out of touch with newer cars and thinks the new cars are like the old ones and American is the way to go. A Camaro is a good car- reliable, powerful, looks great but it's a boat and the V8 is expensive, my wife loves her V6 though. A Mustang is not built to last and is only slightly less boat-y than a Camaro and a V8 is again, expensive. I'm sure I'd have fun with any of them, but not as much fun as the FRS.
*HIS quote, not mine. There's a reason I avoid hanging out with him. |

That's if you pay someone to do all the work for you, but still. It scared me away from Caymans. |

A buddy of mine sent me the link to the forum where he read that but I didn't keep up with it and don't feel like asking him to dig it back up. May have just been an overzealous owner or something. PS - After doing some digging of my own, part of his problem was an IMS failure, I think. |

LOL Didn't think you thought otherwise. We have the same goal in mind.

Yeah I don't bother to explain to him that the Dodge HE knows is not an American company and the cars sure as hell aren't like the ones he knows. I pointed out that his daughter's (my wife's) Camaro is made in Canuckistan, but I had to prove it and show him the door jam sticker, made in Ontario somewhere.
