His wheels came off (and went back on again)?

I'm having more specific recollections to do with the Skid toy a classmate showed off. Everyone was impressed and yet, some of the boys referred to his alt-mode as a 'jap crap' car, showing that even at the age of 12 they had been inculcated into some kind of car-based prejudice.
