I think there are a few luddites in inner Nagoya who continue to resist. 
They will be crushed. Preferably by motor vehicles. Or they will learn 
to love to drive, and learn to love to drive only Japanese cars. 
Preferably locally built ones.

Driving back from the airport I was speaking with Yamasa's housing 
officer. She owns a Beetle. I told her I was shocked. She said that she 
was more shocked, as the Beetle was found to have a hole in it due to 
the shoddy workmanship of whatever fly-by-night operation manufactured 
the bloody thing. "I should have bought a Japanese car..."
