Yeah, I'd guess that if you're in the states, it must be a ****-off that everything on our car is metric.
Just keep it in mind whenever you're doing work on it, because mixing imperial bits in something made metric can really f*ck things over. But most good parts stores will sell both metric and imperial.

What really irks me are the bolts that have the "9" or the "6" on them.... It always makes me think "9 mm? 6 mm? Oh wait... that's right, it doesn't actually seem to mean *anything* useful"
