It may just be me, but I've also observed they seem to have a thing for German. Anyone else notice this?

Yup. The Japanese language itself borrowed a lot of words from German as well, from what I remember from the couple of classes I took in college. I seem to recall there being a reason for this but now I can't remember...Originally Posted by sharkythesharkdogg
WWII?Yup. The Japanese language itself borrowed a lot of words from German as well, from what I remember from the couple of classes I took in college. I seem to recall there being a reason for this but now I can't remember...
Haha! I immediately thought "Axis forces" too.
I also realized the other day at the shop that I mostly work on German and Japanese cars lately. Then a '79 Fiat showed up this week, which means Italy is there too. It's like a reunion of evil!
Would it be too much to ask you take a picture in front of the cars doing the Nazi salute?
They're sucking up. Showing their allegiance. USA did bomb them a while back. They're saying: "Hey, see?? We love you! We won't do anything bad again! We love your wordsssss"
Wow how pretentious did that sound?
I was thinking the same thing while replaying Earthbound lately. There's not one use of Japanese, only English.
That could very well be it although I could've sworn there was some event that happened a few centuries earlier in history that cemented it as wellWWII?Yup.

I could be thinking of the Dutch though (I think it was the Dutch that had exclusive trade with Japan for a really long time)
I would but the Fiat already rusted to pieces in front of my eyes, the Mazda is busy removing the "heads" off of all the Korean cars at the shop, and the BMW is now claiming it's Austrian and escaped to South America.
That would explain their white people fetish.WWII?Yup. The Japanese language itself borrowed a lot of words from German as well, from what I remember from the couple of classes I took in college. I seem to recall there being a reason for this but now I can't remember...
