Yeah, I figured it out. Remember I am an honorary Asian due to my country of birth being Japan on Honshu in Yokosuka.

Since he's your neighbor, I feel sorry for you, because no matter what you do or say to correct the situation... he will be THERE everyday that you live there.

I would try not to escalate the situation. Imagine what he'd do to your car, your house, or hell, your family, if you're not around.

Just make sure to invite him over for dinner to keep the peace.

Here's the redo:

"He then grabs me around the neck, I kid you not, and shakes me saying, "Then why are you driving Nissans!" My wife has a Sentra. He asked me again saying I should drive only American cars."

Your response: "My wife and I were just at the dealership last weekend looking at the new Chevrolets since it's getting close to trade-in time for us." Then just go about your life as usual.

He is Sun Tzu, man -- some Asian guy. Required reading, IMO. Here is an overview.

Sun Tzu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sun tzu is the author of the art of war. One of the greatest military writings of all time and is still taught and referenced today by military leaders.
