You do realize that this is an isolated case -- probably about as rare as the first year S2000's blowing motors because of the oil jet bolt issue -- but probably LESS common than the S2000's that had to have the clutch replaced for free because of the TSB54 issue that Honda failed to fix for 3 years ....
But hey -- to the idiot fanboys this one rare issue means that ALL American cars are junk and of course Foreign cars NEVER have issues.
So ... ****ing ... stupid.

For most people, the purchase of a car is an emotional decision. It is based on how they wish to be percieved and their desire to be associated with the qualities of the stereotypical owner of that particular model.
Generalization/fanboism occurs through the desire to rationalize a given choice of car and through that, validation of one's own identity. This is particularly true for insecure and nonconfident people.
It takes maturity and education to understand that fanboism is wrong. Neither trait is a prerequisite for participating in this forum. Membership is available to everyone.
The special nature of the S2000 attracts a particular segment of the general population. The qualities of this segment make the forum an interesting read. As time goes by, the qualties of the car change (e.g. it's price) and resultingly, the population which participates in this forum changes as well. Due to this factor, although your fight against fanbois will educate a few people, ultimately it is never ending.

You have posted this argument againt fanboism/generalization repeatedly. Surely by now you realize that most people are untrained in logic and that your fight against them will never end.

Ok, I'm confused. So who was a dick?
And this is way beyond any type of "normal" failure which WOULD tend to point a finger towards a lower quality (quality control?) of the Vette or GM or american labor unions or something.
