OK... weird thoughts passing through my head.
It seems to me lately the the term "import car" in relation to any of the older import vehicles many of us drive is becoming diluted by the so-called "rice rockets" and events they run. Names like "Hot Import Nights" to describe the shows they run seem to dilute the meaning of the word "import car".
What does the term "import car" mean to the average car enthusiast now? I've heard from a friend of mine back in Ontario that back in the 1960's when import cars were less common here that the term "foreign car" was often used, especially by those who were mostly into the American cars. Now with the dilution of the term "import" by the "rice rocket" generation, is there a better term to broadly describe our older import/foreign cars (be they British, German, Swedish, whatever other country).
Hope this discussion makes some sense... My mind is rather strange sometimes,
especially in the morning when I've only been up for a short time.
