Just because a car is of so called european origin doesn't make it a luxury car.

It makes me laugh when people who drive munich taxi cabs think they've bought a luxury car. Likewise muppets driving round in Toyotas with tasteless genuine fake wood nailed on to bits of the interior and an L badge stuck on the boot.

No, it isn't. I could have said Paris, Barcelona, Cologne, Hamburg, Monaco etc. Btw, I thought we were talking about "Uptown".

I had no idea that seeing a Lexus in Houston was that rare. Then again, I'm a dumb old Southeast Texas country hick who's never been east of the Sabine or west of the Brazos. Except for that one time.

*Eric Cartman voice* My mom says there's a lot of black people in Africa.

I didnt know that...but with that newfound knowledge it makes me wonder even more so why anyone would try to compare the two...
