'A Man in Dandism New Rich and Sports'
The interpretation is not what many people think it means.

Hmm, I think they are drawing a very long bow to try and link 'dandism' to a 3rd Dan.
Here's the wikipedia definition of 'Dandy ~ Dandyism'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dandy "A
dandy[1] (also known as a
beau or
gallant[2]) is a man who places particular importance upon
physical appearance, refined language, and leisurely hobbies, pursued with the appearance of nonchalance in a cult of Self.
[3] Historically, especially in late 18th- and early 19th-century
Britain, a dandy, who was self-made, often strove to imitate an
aristocratic lifestyle despite coming from a middle-class background".
I think that this translates with the use of Japlish to our 'Dandism' Don't we place importance on the physical appearance of the car, enjoy its refined language and use it as a leisurely hobby? We can imitate that aristocratic lifestyle of the ferrari despite our middle class backgrounds.
That other US post is just that persons wishful thinking, and a load of bollocks.
