    It depends on which roads those cars are driven surely? Let me guess - you did 160,000 km on nice German auto bahns?

      If it was anyone but you I'd be offended.
      But since a good rule of thumb with you is to take the opposite of what you say, thanks for the compliment

There is also a perception with the lower classes that buying German means you've made it.
        It particularly impresses lower class men who know little about cars, like Dim.

            I think there is another reason why Jap cars are more reliable. The Germans are over reliant on turbo boosting ever smaller engines to boost power while lowering C02. This puts the mechanicals under extreme stress.
            The Japs tend to go for normally aspirated engines, although that's probably going to change with lower emission targets.

              The only statistic you need to know is this.

              Blowjobs received in Japanese yawn box = 0
              Blowjobs received in stylish German wonder wagons = Lots

                All that tells me is that you're pig fugly and no woman would give you BJ normally, so you resort to impressing shallow skanks.*


                * I did overhear some female chavs the other day being impressed with so-and-so's D-reg BMW. So I guess you're right

                      I'd rather be bequeathed a 30 year old MG/Alfa/Lancia/BMW/Ford/Vauxhall/etc, than a 30 year old Toyota Corrolla.
