Sick of civic magazine racers.
The guys are just too damn funny. Everytime I'm at work "check out this cool looking civic." Oh man I wanna puke. Aluminum wing, altezzas, roof scoop, fenders, 18's. OH JEEZ. COMON. Then they have the ***** to say it's FAST! They just dont get it. These guys w/ civics thing they're the ****. Revving their engines like they run in the NHRA. Basic mods.....Exhaust, Intake, Headers..... NOW for the looks. lol Heard of "all show no go?" Any kind of civic is AN ECONO CAR and that it! Im most MOST scenerios they're slow and rice. Everyone gets a civic. "so your gunna mod your car? " "yep, Civic" Makes me sick. Thought i'd vent. I have all these guys I work wish talking to me about cars and how fast civics can be. BELIEVE ME if a civic is as easy to get as fast as I want it.. I would have bought one. BUT what did I buy? Oh yeah 240sx. 
Damn jokers.

Warning rant ahead. I can never figure out the idea behind "show" cars. Stupid rice boys. All I can ever figure to say is, cars have wheels and a motor. Use it! Go pretty up some dolls and display them instead

Oh yeah like it or not. APC, PEP BOYS, and Import Tuner put money in the pockets of people that run low numbers and show hot cars.
Those pesky Honda owners purchase the items. I can understand not liking them but there are some good jems out there.

Can't argue there. I've seen some fast civics in my life. But that doesn't make up for the other civics ive seen

you shouldnt generalize and say civics suck. granted alot of them do, but not all. all cars have potential. ok maybe not a geo metro, but who knows. its all in how you look at it. to one guy all that "rice" is cool. why should that hurt you? he likes his car, you like your car. end of story.
