This type appreciate performance vehicles, enjoy modifying them and driving them. They do so in a reasonable manner. They arrive in their Type-R/Evo/WRX STi/GTR at a moderate speed, speak with intelligence and wear their clothing as it was designed. When they leave in their nicely presented cars they drive off at a normal speed. The second type arrive in their Integra 1.6/non-turbo Lancer/old rough WRX/Skyline GTS-t/Maxima/Cefiro/Vigor/(pretty much whatever they could afford at the time) at 100mph. They walk around the yard like they own the place, shoulders swaying and speak a strange type of language involving grunts and chuckles at their equally unintelligent mates comments. They also have little understanding of how clothing was intended to be worn. Once they've established that none of the cars we have are as quick as theirs, they leave 'chirping' the front or rear wheels or abusing the clutch/gearbox of their lowered, panel damaged big bore exhaust equipped WRX that hasn't seen a service in 30,000km and hasn't had a cambelt change in 150,000km.

    No propaganda machine at work there, well with the exception of their own.
    Nicely put!

    Quite simple. They issue a credit note.

    You're not one of these whimpy "full sugar only" types?
    DOUBLE sugar! Sprinkle sugar (from the coffee supply) onto the top of your donut for an extra hit of goodness!
