I think this board has seen way too many trolls to take the thread seriously. However, the number of completely asinine responses is...well...sad.

As far as the original topic:
I think all automotive rivalries are completely and utterly stupid. It's funny when I'm talking to someone about cars and they ask me what I drive, to which I respond, "a '94 Civic," and they always look at me like, "OH...your're one of THEM." I just kind of roll my eyes and point out, as I am now...that I like cars. Period. Hell, I even like boats, trains, and especially airplanes. But, I just happen to drive a Civic. Yay me. It's small, not fast, and it's teal. (It does, however, handle fairly well.) I can appreciate any car that goes fast, or turns fast, or just looks damned nice. That's it! Rivalries and trash-talking can suck my nuts.
