Re: Road experiences with imports.

i'm not trying to start an argument for fun---i'm just trying to understand human psycology (good luck with that.....) i feel theres too much segregation/divisionalism/ "us" vs. "them" in society going on. Everyone is guilty of this. Older people look down on younger people, dems vs. republicans etc.

1) i understand about traditionalism, however there was a honda civic on passtime tv show with small block chevy and made into rear drive. i'm sure he was still looked upon with scepticism and scorn.

i bet if you took the fiat body off and put say a subaru body on then the car and driver immediately gets ostracized by the "traditional hot rodder community." Exact same hardware, only the body has changed.

2) So, if a guy races a vega/monza he's alright. But if a guy races a cavalier/cobalt (these are direct decendents of the vega and for all practical purposes ARE today's vega) he is to be put in the "tuner" category looked upon with scorn, criticism and even ridicule?
