Pretty brutal review, Detroit snobbery is alive and well. It reminds me of my younger days of Detroit hating Japanese imports and smashing them up with a sledge hammers. Yet no definitive answer to Japanese quality and value to this day.

One of my best friends was born in Long Beach CA, but grew up in Laguna Niguel CA (Orange County) fairly close to the beach. After his sophomore year in high school, his dad got transferred to Michigan. They moved to Rochester Hills, MI and he went to Rochester Adams High School for his junior and senior years before entering U of M (same high school Madonna went to...in fact he dated one of her younger sisters when they were both in high school). My friend told me that not a soul would dare park a foreign car in the student lot because of what would happen....trashed...vandalized...not strong enough words. My friend is a pretty brazen and tough guy, so that opinion doesn't come from a place of fear.

In 2007, I spent a couple of days in Warren, MI and I was at the wheel of my blue Yaris. I got cut off (other person switching lanes) quite a few times by 'Detroit Iron' over those few days in ways that I doubt would have happened had I been driving 'Detroit Iron'.

Then you got these yahoos driving around rolling coal on Toyota's and others they deem need the treatment. There are several around here where I live.

They probably are yahoos, but that picture is still funny. I've never seen stacks like that on a pickup anywhere but in Texas.

LOL Yeah I know what you mean. Florida has their share too. I am not against big trucks or semi themed stacks, just the way some choose to use them to be anti-social.
