Had a friend at mine tonight and he's recently got into the JDM phase of car fan. Here's a small conversation we had.
Him: *sees my model Fiesta WRC car* Eugh. Ford. All American cars are crap
Me: well that's good. Seeing as that was developed by a British team called M-sport not too far from here.
Him: Pft. Yeah right.
(I proceeded to get out the leaflet I got from the tour of Dovenby hall and point out the address)
Him: yeah but they still get backing from Ford
Me: 2012 was the last year they did. Since then cars have ran the less cool Qatar liveries.
Him: Yeah, but it's still a ford. Much better if it was a Civic.
Me: Oh right... So you're really suggesting that the Civic would be better?
Him: Yeah
Me: you know, they wanted to run the Fiesta before S2000 changes over the Focus because it would have been a lot better on a rally stage.
Him: Yeah well a Civic Type-R would whoop this car on any surface.
Me: apart from dirt... Snow... And asphalt.
Him: No the civic will have 270bhp and could be tuned.
Me: also heavier, still with less power, mechanical grip and wouldn't soak the punishment as well on dirt or snow.
Him: Whatever.
(He then notices my box of model cars and sees a distinct lack of JDM cars, aside from a GT86)
Him: No skyline?
Me: I'd take an older Skyline. The Hakosoka.
Him: But the R35 can beat anything down the road and on track.
Me: Anything?
Him: Yeah!
Me: Red Bull Racing RB9.
Him: go to hell.
(I go to sort the steering wheel out and come back, go to my GT4 garage and notice my Zondas missing, along with my E-type and Caterham and a few other EU/US cars. Replaced with JDM products)
Me: Where the hell are my Zondas?!?
Him: Zondas are crap compared to Skylines.
Me: No. They really aren't. You sold MY ZONDAS on MY GT4 for cars YOU LIKE when I had 1.3 million Cr?!?
Him: You didn't need those Zondas. An R34 could beat it.
I got my backup memory card (praise The Lord) and got in my C12S 7.3. Let him tune a Skyline too. We lined up at Seca and I won the race.
He'd spurted some crap on how my car was so unrealistic. When it was a nearly exact replica of a Cinque in many areas and didn't want to play me any more. Ricer friends... Who needs 'em?

There are many flaws to both your logic.

My logic was deliberately flawed because I like to think I'm a smartass.
The whole point of that story is how he very nearly took my hours of work and ruined it because he prefers JDM so tried forcing it on me. The rest is garnish really.

@legacyMACHINE when you said your friend has recently entered a JDM phase, I was thinking classic JDM's. I was dissapointed....

He thinks Skylines can beat a Zonda C12S 7.3? Especially one you made a Cinque replica out of?!

So was I. Ready for conversations about Hakosokas and S800s and even Cappucinos

Apparently according to another one of my idiot friends, your car can become JDM once you put a shoshinsha mark (the one that identifies yourself as a beginner driver in Japan) on ANY car.
He has one on his Camaro. He managed to convince a friend and has one on his F150.
"JDM as FK." So they say.

That makes me so disappointed with my species. But again, it's hilarious.

They are made in America but they're not American.

Just an honest question, but does a car have to be "JDM" to feature the emblem? After all it only means amateur driver in the end.

It has very strong connotations with JDM, though. More people would know it as JDM than Ameteur Driver.
