Amen to that.
I copped a lot of flack going from a 'JDM as fark' R32 Skyline to a VZ from all of my enthusiast mates, as if I was getting one purely for the sake of being a bogan, and to put chev badges on / do burnouts in. A year later, and I don't regret the decision for a minute.
That's the mindset getting around though - only chev badge sporting bogans own Falcodores, and the 'regular' people own grey imports or Euros. I don't take it personally, and if anything I use the way mine is tastefully modified to prove the point that not all Commodore drivers are mindless idiots. I do like taking the piss out of the worst offenders though (ie buying cheap anodized crap coilovers for "handling", stickerbombs etc etc)
