This is a fact and the sole basis on my point of view.
If you didn't know that or don't care to know, that's because you are some 2 bit hick that only knows how to turn a key and push a pedal.
Go work on a 20 year old American car, then go work on a 20 year old Jap car. And let me know how many american bolts you snap versus japanese bolts that snap, pal.

all that is fine and dandy.. but your discounting the micrometer and a 2.5x safety factor in stress engineering.
oh.. and just to reiterate... I pretty well only buy Jap cars... because 90% of American cars suck... but that isnt due to imperial measurements
