LMAO! Okay, well in this particular case. The "friend" is driving his parents Land Rover and BMW X5. Yeah... i know eh? I shouldn't have let that guy get to me LOL.

And as for your quote I bolded... another "friend" said, "EWW, American Car?" to which I replied,

"You don't know jack$hit about the Camaro. Let me guess, you drive a Honda Civic?"

"No, Acura RSX =)"


I LOL'd... dang stereotypes... makes it so easy for me to guess >=( Honestly, the RSX is a nice car... but doesn't catch my eye. Also, I have nothing against other cars, just don't bashing on mine lol. Makes me Hostile. Heck, I even had to tell my car to calm down, he wanted to eat the RSX up for lunch. Look at my Camaro in my sig, you can tell he would eat up anything =D Well.. bows down to SS Camaros, but eats up anything under it =D

ha! that's another thing that bugs the crap outta me. A lot of the asian folks have their daddy or mommy buy them ridiculously nice cars. annoying as hell..especially with the "N" new driver sticker on the rear. I've seen kids in 6 series, 7 series bimmers...fully loaded mercs, etc. love how they get sick of their 335i and trade it in for a audi s5 and so on. but they got the money i suppose..

lol, well the thing is, my parents could have afforded to buy me a car... but I have some dignity lol... First car is bought myself, and the Camaro is my second. And yes, I agree with the N sign on the back. Before I got the Camaro, I MADE sure i got my full privelage license LOL. Because where I live, when we see an N sign on a nice car, we just call them "Daddy's Car" =p

BTW Jerk, awesome eagle lol

If the ZR1 can take on GTR, i think i would still go for the GTR in this scenario =O It's a REALLY nice car lol and from what i've read, it has very incredible speed and handling =D Like i said I'm not loyal to what make or brand the car is lol. Just hate those haters =D

When people ask where my loyalties are I simply answer that I'm not a camaro enthusiast but a CAR enthusiast. I like all types of cars domestic or imports. But I'ld rather be driving a Chevy. Don't care what other people think. Do what makes you happy. I'm Korean by birth but I love this country and everything it has provided me. So much so that I married a caucasian and drive a Camaro, Corvette, and Suburban.

Don't get me wrong, I like the GTR, I think it is a great car and Nissan did a great job with it. I just love vettes, especially the ZR1.

hmm... well since im a 6'1 filipino and came from the other camp alot of my friends are asian. Alot of them are owners of either supras, nsx, mr2, rx7 ect ect. I have to say they are typical in the fact that they drive imports and none of them own a domestic. It is kinda annoying that most of them were hating on the fact i went with a camaro as my next car of choice. but they are fanboys..so what can you do? I dont care really. They lack the knowledge that a diverse mind like mine can achieve.

It is such an obnoxious and arbitrary boundary that we draw for ourselves when we limit our purchases based on our own ethnic heritage.

I'm not saying that we should feel a complete lack of pride for having blood from somewhere else. We should embrace our past. That being said, the idea of buying Japanese because your heritage is from Asia baffles me. If you want to take pride in your Asian past, then feel free to participate in Asian heritage events, but you are Canadian. This drama that people of Asian ancestry should buy Asian despite not being Asian themselves is passive discrimination, and there is no justification for it.
Well said.

Totally respect your reply. I to don't go up to someone and bash thier car, I love all kinds, I just prefer the muscle vehicles now. I think imports are pretty cool, but it's something I am no longer into. I would much rather put 3k into performance parts rather then body kits and wings and so on.

As for Z vettes.... I was just informed today that one of the mechanics putting a supercharger in my twin lol, his friend just ordered a brand new 2010 Zr1 vette.... paid around 130,000 for it Now that is something my car will bow down to

That's hilarious to me, because you still weren't wrong saying it was a Civic Who is Acura's daddy? And so what car do you think the RSX shares a chassis with? WIN.
