I don't care what your car, bike, or gun has what name on it you are all of one big tribe thats the American tribe! look at the Bill of rights sometime this is why we buy what we buy and say what we say because we CAN!!! If some third workld country or ORder decides to make the mistake of attacking Us I be more than happy to have you in my foxhole because your one of the "TRIBE" just don't show me that tatical tuperware 
You're just toying with the Silly Little Tribes because you don't really expect a definitive answer to that question.
Another in the same vein is "Why can some blondes post Silly Little Questions without even using descriptive titles and yet get a bunch of responses (and some invitations) while others get thoroughly ignored when they do the same thing?"
Both questions have the same answer: human nature. Viva human nature! How boring things would be without it....

A reasonable generalization about a large part of our society is that we tend to define ourselves in terms of job, money, and posessions.
For some, it's keeping up with the Joneses; for others, it's exceeding the Joneses.
Those who get excited about what particular brand of critter they use, to the point of flaming and all that nonsense, do indeed fit the above, particularly the "exceeding" part.
And then there are those of us who don't give a hoot about the Joneses, in any way, shape or fashion. I call it the utilitarian approach: If it works good enough to suit me, it's good enough to suit me. Other peoples' opinions are a matter of indifference.
