Why Do Some Honda Owners become Jerks?

Some Honda owners love to put down owners of other "lesser cars". You can see this "I'm own a Honda--I am therefore superior" attitude everywhere on web pages, in newsgroups and in the real world.

The problem is even worse if Asian people are involved. Being Asian myself (Filipino), I have seen this first-hand. Most Asians must believe that there is some kind of international law that says that all Asians families must own at least one Honda or Acura (an upscale Honda). Since I am not a Honda owner, I have relatives that harass me about owning an "unreliable American car", while they took there new Honda Civic into the Honda dealer numerous times to get its defective front suspension fixed, denying that there is any problem with it. While my brother-in-law's "reliable, sensible Honda" was in the shop, I continued to drive my "unreliable American gas guzzler" which, by the way, is 30 years old and got me from my senior year in high school through college and beyond. They traded in that new Civic on a 4X4 Toyota truck, but now they say, that they want to buy another Honda!
