I sed:

To which Kent Rafferty replied:

>Let's see, so all "jap" cars are bad (is this rude or ignorant -- or

Well, if you read my line attentively, you'll see that in no instance did I use 
the word "bad". I'd like to answer the way Jesus answered to Pilat: "your words, 
not mine...". No rudness was expressed or intended. As far as my ignorance goes... 
well, I'd adress you to the past archives where you'll find some heavy duty 
technical content, posted by truly yours in abundance. 

Secondly, I indeed (SUBJECTIVELY!) don't like japanese cars, I indeed 
(SUBJECTIVELY!) perceive sporty two-seaters as boy racers and I indeed 
(SUBJECTIVELY!) don't like two door cars. YES, even *THE ICON* - a Turbo Quattro 
Coupe. I do respect it a lot, but do not like it and never wanted to own. (two 
layers of Nomex here). Same as with "The Beatles" - I admire and respect them, but 
do not like them and do not collect. (one more layer of Nomex on).

I was not hanging labels or trying to criticize an admittedly good car. All I am 
saying is that *I* (SUBJECTIVELY) "wouldn't want to be seen dead in a jap two door 
boy-racer...."

I would like to be let to have a personal opinion, if you don't mind. Thank you.
