Do average Americans really get violently triggered over people who drive "imports" or is it only the enthusiasts.
Like do they go around mocking "rice burners" irl?
It's not as common as you think, but yea. I've had people talk shit right to my face for riding a Japanese sport bike though, so it definitely happens.
>>16096096
Yes. They call themselves the Alt-Right.
>>16096096
Is that a Viper in that drift advertisement picture..? in Japan?

Actually just got done watching a video on just what the hell "alt right" means. seemed like a buzzword.
>>16096154
it means the mainstream media wants to group hardcore alt-liberals in with neo-contrarian social conservatives to discredit them
the really political part of the alt-right is actually full of demcorats, socialists, and other liberals
the wannabes that think they can make up for their lacking masculinity by emulating real and imaginary grandfathers isn't anything, they're essentially apolitical beyond "vote trump, kek shillary"
>>16096096
The only people that get triggered enough to get in your face about your car are
>Boomers
>Post-menopausal women
>Busy body mother's
>Especially brave/stupid tree huggers
Everyone else keeps their butthurt to themselves for the most part.
>>16096096
yes
I have never seen someone make fun of someone for driving a tastefully done import.
Now riced out? Nope. Shit talking coming.
>>16096096
There is no reason to buy JDM ever. Buy American products to support your country they are just as good.
>GT-R
Get a good ole 'vette
>RX-7
The 'stang is RWD too
>>16096096
Yeah, in the 70's.

Im looking for a winter car and my friend who owns diesel ford F250 and a 05 mustang is trying to convince me to get a Ford Explorer over an early 2000 Honda Civic that comes with snow tires.
when I told him I wanted a civic he was all like "you might as well walk"
its silly really. but i never realized his loyalty to American Products.

Alt-right is a made up term by Hillary to make Trump supporters seem very right of center. The median voter is a ventrist. Make sense?
"American" cars are designed by Americans but made in Mexico. They should be called Mexican cars.
>>16096143
Nope
Alt right trump voter here.
I only buy Japanese cars actually made in Japan.
I won't even touch American made japanese cars.
"Buy 'Murrican" cucks are typically your blue dog democrat Union boys in my experience.
The faster the big three domestics can crash and burn, and the faster Trump can kick some sense into the EPA and tell California to go fuck itself, the faster the USA can regroup and actually build something that isn't suitable for rental fleets and subprime leases of mexican-chinese subcompacts to wal mart employees.
Fuck gm fuck ford fuck Chrysler

Anyone with an American truck automatically is a confrontational shit to anyone in an import brand truck. "Hurrrr can't tow muh house with it. Homo!"
>>16096096
only muscle car drivers, truck drives, then there are euro only fags, and boi pus.
>>16096637
Well....
I used to think that way.
Guess what....he will be the one walking. Not you.
My first import was an early Infiniti G20 (Nissan primera) after a long line of domestic shit. I was very concerned it would be a gutless and expensive shitbox. I was very wrong and it was a revelation of what the japs could really do. That car was built like a tank. While not luxurious, it was "substantial" and reflected a different build philosophy.
Ignore the hillbilly. You'll also be pulling him out of a shoebank because he won't have the money for snow tires.
>>16096686
Euros are the worst.
CLA drivers calling people who drive a Lexus IS-f "poor". Or VW drivers unironically still popping theor collars and trying to hit on underage girls.
>>16096096
i have never been harrassed
you will talk to people who shit talk jap cars when they dont know you drive one
>>16096154
Looks like an rx7 with a body kit.
Hardcore Ford/Chevy fans tend to shit on literally everything that isn't their chosen holy brand, but I can't think of anyone other groups that would be prone to giving a fuck. Some people might dislike old japanese shitboxes but actual worthwhile imports will only get respect and curiosity.
>>16096423
Vette isn't awd and the Mustang can't turn
>>16096679
>kick some sense into the EPA
what the fuck does that even mean, dude look up actual politics
also union workers heavily vote republican unless the leadership specificly tells them to vote democrat
>>16096096
Some redneck at a gas station once got buttblasted over a ricer in a Lexus. Started yelling about showing him what "a real engine, a hemi" would do.
I was at the pump next to him and made sure to brap loudly when I started my car.
>>16096745
Seriously?
Every government agency has been politicized in turbo mode over the past 15 years. EPA has forced manufacturers to make/import loss leaders in order to meet ever increasing emissions plans.
Union workers only voted republican because they are uneducated racist bumpkins that couldn't vote for "that thar tarbabby nigger" Obama. They are fucking retarded sheep who routinely toe the line with their shop leaders to destroy their future and the future of the manufacturing base.
t. Economist that used to work for japanese automotive suppliers for strategic planningin Detroit / Farmington Hills, MI area. The USA has competing interests in preventing it from competing. End of story. Game over.

Thinking about getting custom exhaust with x pipe and cut outs for my LS430 for this purpose. Already pissed off one buttblasted silvergaydo driver last night trying to beat me to the merge. Fucking fragile manchildren who wrap up their entire identity in a truck
>>16096096
>jap rice burner industry is so stale they keep doing and redoing the same rice burners for over 20 years
I don't "get up in" anybody's face about their Japanese or European cars. I do make a note of particular tuners who try to fuck with me in my truck so I can crush them later in my fox. In parking lots though I'm usually pretty cool with all types of enthusiasts and am the first to offer up the lolcantturn meme
>>16096096
They used to until it finally sunk in that american cars were total shit and the UAW is a democrat run crime organization that has destroyed the car industry in the u.s
>>16096096
Its just banter/locker talk. Dont be a cuck. They are just shitposting IRL
