It's real, and there are hard feelings about it across the US. You should hear some of the comments that I've gotten from fellow Corvette owners... Sheesh...
This is an interesting point. A few years back I went to Hawaii with my grandparents, my grandfather who fought in the Pacific asked an odd question to me while we were there of all the Japanese people there. And for those of you who don't know there are a LOT of Japanese vacationers on the islands. Anyhow he asks "Do you think they wonder if this could be theirs?" To which I said "They're probably looking for their next Mi-Thai." It's definitely a generational thing.

I've read through most of these and I look at where posters are from and I have to ask do you all live out in like the ex-urban, rural hinterland? I live inside the beltway here in DC and can't tell you the amount of nice foreign cars there are floating around. If something like this happened my head would actually explode. While I love our Z's they're nowhere near the nicest foreign cars anywhere around me.

This is a window into the microcosm of nativist America. As a plain white guy myself it's so disappointing.

Same here, man. There's a huge mix of folks out here.

I know a couple people out in Haymarket and those folks really can't stand being anywhere near the more urban areas. Too many foreigners!
