So I attended Import Alliance's Summer Meet at the Kentucky Speedway yesterday. I'll admit, my expectations for an Import Meet, are not all that high... But I was disappointed in the turn out, and the lack of respect the few KIAs received.
I was of course the only K7, but even the Optima guys (there were 2) were bombarded with jokes about it being a KIA, even though they all thought they were sick until someone said they were a KIA.
I don't understand the lack of respect for the brand... Everywhere I go, people complement my car, ask me what it is, and I tell them, and I get the same reaction... "Wait, KIA? Hahaha"... Why does it matter?
Anyone else see a lot of brand bias when people talk to them about your car? Maybe they're jealous, but it's really annoying that people are so two faced.
*steps off soap box*
