Passion is Dead! Cars in America

The MINI community is one of the few places left with a real passion for cars. Since I got my MINI, I have tried to understand how 99% of the other people on the road can drive an appliance everyday and be "happy." What is the difference between a Camry and a washing machine?

This article sums up the death of passion between Americans and their cars better than anything I have ever read on the subject. Enjoy!

times change. too bad they could not migrate with the times and provide something with a passion that takes people's hearts.

dont blame it on the modern day Americans.
