I far prefer MPH. And I live in a country where its all in this new fangled
completely ridiculous system called Metric. And no I'm not from the years
predating it either, I just prefer Imperial.

Why is it that there were only twenty Japanese imports in the caryards I
visited around my local town with manual transmissions? Out of around four
hundred cars plus? One caryard has over 250 cars at all times, and of the
lot there that were manual... FOUR.
The Japanese are just as lazy. So are the Europeans, and the Australians.

They don't, the owners of their cars do - each to their own. I don't care if
you'd rather drive a Skoda, Honda, Toyota, Audi, Ford or whatever else
rather than a Pontiac, Chevrolet, Buick or something equally as GM.
Close your blowhole and return to the seated position asshat.
