LMAO at this quote early on in the thread:

the proper thing to do when comparing cars like that, would be give each person 60K, a month, and no driver can get the same car, that would test each car's potential w/ the money left over from the initial cost for mods(whatever you want)...some cars will have more expendable money than others...
So that's the proper way to compare cars is it?

I think the distinction has to be drawn against 'educated' Americans and the hicks.

Most Americans I have come across are in the first category (that's probably because I work for an American company) and they tend to like European cars.

However, the hicks appear to the majority and an odd breed as I found out when in the US. Sitting on the porch polishing a gun or living in something similar to a shanty town is not cool. Unfortunatley, they appear to like corvettes.

The word stereotype was invented for the likes of 99% of the American's posting on that BB . Reinforces the xenophobic, homophobic, uneducated, humourless and dangerous image people have of the Yanks .

As i have said, the only reason America invaded Iraq was because they were smarting at being turned over by some dude in a cave and saddam was an easy target.

The funny thing is that the test driver on the road track was literally hanging the ass end out around virtually every turn they showed... no WONDER it didn't turn a faster lap than an Evo... if they had bothered to drive the car PROPERLY, there's no telling how well it would have done.
pmsl at that, like fuck its going to beat an evo. The back end was hanging out so much due to the sheer weight and poor chassis setup (common on just about every US car ) Surely if the backend comes out it shows hes really trying to carry speed. Fact is the stig is an ex-gp driver, im sure he knows how to drive

Northerner, I don't think we have any roundabouts!
Not sure why, but maybe it's because we refer to the locations of buildings/houses as in a "block" everything is like a grid. So if/when you ever come here and you ask where a location is, most likely the answer would be, it's about 5 blocks away.(or 5 roads?? away?)

First things first,
I am by far the farthest thing from rejected buger flipper you wish your parents weren't
I've meet people you only have spent many nights wanking over. So go ahead, keep dreaming.

Second, since your proving to me that you are of low education and haven't learned to correctly read yet, my ONLY comment was about the pentagon joke.
Make fun of saddam as an easy target, if you opened your eyes and looked past the rubbish field you live in that you call home, you'd realise that a lot of Yanks feel the same way.
Prove you wrong?? on what?? where did I contradict you?

There's your answer.

Interesting thread,shame it's turning into an America vs Britain debate though.
Some of the comments on that site were appalling, but I have no doubt that it is a select few morons that you would find anywhere, even here.

I totally agree with you mate!!
It is a shame that some people here read what those idiots wrote and think it doesn't happen in their own homeland. Idiots like that are eveywhere. I hate it when it becomes a US vs. UK debate especially in a CAR forum!! last time I check all the politicians where in Parliment & in the Washington.
Anyway good to see you have a good enough head to see through the Yank post as it is shit!

That explains a lot as I found one in Clearwater and saw 2 crashes in 30mins

Anyway, when I was in the US I found most Americans to be polite and generally OK unlike most people in London Village. But when you stray off the path, as I did in Daytona, the hicks are ready an waiting in their zillion liters dodge or corvette. I suppose its like straying into Peckham and into the hands of the chavs and their corsas!!!

No roundabouts in US as there citys are reliivley new and they opted for the Grid system as Fastmaul said, this is because its a lot easier to find your way around etc.
