I think that any car that is nice and respectable then ANY enthusiest should show respect for the car. I pesonally have a '97 240sx that is very respectable but I am a huge fan of classic muscle. The only thing that I hate is when I pull up to an american car and the 40 year old man starts to laugh at me and by the time I hit 70 he is just a speck in the rear view. I personally think the problem is that a lot of older guys stick to what they know and see that there is so much rice out there that when a nicer import comes along they refuse to respect. Because of this people stereotype people with domestics although people are people and there will always be a large number of jackasses.
I say a nice car is a nice car regardlesss.
