Quite absurd that the author of the article sould cite deciding between an Ipod and an exhaust a 'tough lifestyle choice' when other people in the country are barely making ends meet. Apart from that, if you are a car enthusiast it wouldn't be a question anyway. My car is what keeps me getting up in the morning, I don't have/want/need the latest smartpad or whatever it is.
As for the main point of the article, that is something I have been thinking for a very long time, I mean, look how much infighting is in our own community, let alone the community as a whole. The likes of Dan! and Connor, in years to come will think 'Why did we fight with Flynn, he was the quintessential car enthusiast' but they will not listen now, only when it is too late. Why invent derogatory terms like 'French tin' and 'Japcrap' when we all love cars? You only have to go on the Youtube vids of Vtecs to see the blatant infighting and racism within our own communities! Mainly perpetuated by short sighted individuals.
