  • Something I don't understand

    This week I was reading my new issue of Sport Compact Car I got in the mail and they had an article about street racing in the Carribean. As I was reading I got to thinking: Why do the armpits of the world get all sorts of cool cars and North America doesn't? Now that's not to say the Carribean is a bad place, but there are others. Places like the Middle East and Central and South America.
    I'm not picking on those places either, but I have friends who are either from those places or frequently visit those places and say they suck. My problem is that the U.S., the most powerful country in the world, always seems to get the bottom of the bucket when it comes to cars and yet places like Saudi Arabia gets Skyline GTRs and they've supposedly supported our enemies. Even when we do get cars they're just watered-down versions of their better selves. And alot of the cars that are available on the U.S. are ancient compared to the ones in other countries. Take the Honda Civic XS for example. The engine's nothing to get excited about (1.7l i-VTEC with 130ps), but what other economy cars can you think of that are available with a CVT with 7-speed mode or a navigation system? What's the deal?

    Saudi Arabia has more money than you ever will. In the majority of cases, any large corporation worth its salt isn't going to care about politics as their goal is to make money.

      if america got skylines and other nice imported cars what would be so nice about having one?
      for me its nice to have cars in other countrys that way if you import one you dont have to go completely rice to have somthing differnet then everybody else.

              But the statue of liberty was given to the US by France. I believe France has one too. Does that make the US want to be like France ... I highly doubt that.

                    Liberty was a gift from france.
                    There is a smaller version in france that pays tribute to the original artist. It's not big enough to go into, but you can't go into ours anymore anyway.
                    Dude, you know what?
                    Japan has Elvis gangs. I think we're better off.
                    The last thing I wanna run into is a bunch of guys dressed like Elvis mobbing deep. "hey man what happed to you? "Oh, I got stabbed by the Kyoto Elvis' for bieng on thier turf."
                    WTF, it's like jet grind radio from the 50s.

                    they also have an isuzu version of the chevette.
