I've had everything from Japanese to American to British plus a few Swedish and German cars in the family. Craftmanship and innovation is what I like to see, cars are just a bunch of parts put together to form one big unit so as long as it started its life with quality materials that aren't destined to fail then who cares.

I have no problem taking a quality part from one manufacturer and putting it on another...from brakes to engines. Anything can be modified to be faster, handle better, look better, and be safer while doing so...just have fun with it.
