im a very opinionated person and i really don't mean to offend people. u r right with my " unmeasurable hate of Toyota's and Honda's " though. the reason why? almost everybody buys them and because of the conservative styling. i like a car with a bit of style and aggressive design. for example: 2009 Mitsu Lancer Evo. its just my perception of these companies that i get from them like more fuel efficiency than a drivers car. i hope u understand what im trying to convey. a little shallow when it comes to cars. no hard feelings.
