ok, so I've been incredibly busy in the past few days and haven't even seen this thread, but I don't care cuz you're gonna get my input anyways.
In terms of manufacturing, America is one of the best. The reason why shit breaks here isn't because of bad manufacturing typically, but pisspoor designs.
If indeed you do drive the AR that Feersty provided pictures of, then I pity you. The best looking part of your car is the headlamps, which sucks since they only cover about 2% of what is available to look at on the car.
As to what our club is, it consists of members from all parts of JMU, who are all interested in the various aspects of vehicles and what they can do. To put it bluntly for you, if it rolls on 2 or 4 wheels, somebody here is interested in pushing that vehicle's limits. That includes drag, autoX, road course, showcar, karting, bike racing, riding bikes, building motors, designing suspensions, wrenching with friends, discussing the fine points that make cars superior or more fun, or just helping a person enjoy thier own driving experience. Hopefully you can find one of these categories to provide some valuable input (not bullshit comments) and learn to tolerate (and possibly someday enjoy) the vast array of ways to enjoy your vehicle that we provide.
As to whether we are a group of people who sit around and watch The Gay and the Curious and then dream about racing; if that is what you want to hang out with, then you have come to the wrong forum. I can think of very few people in our club who do not actively participate in some form of automotive competition; virtually all of us have the desire to do so and are making steps toward making that possible. If you think that you can be a respectable, resourceful, and positive addition to our club, then hop into our figurative passenger seat and enjoy the ride. Otherwise, take the bus.
