It cracks me up every time some ricerqueen says "I could afford an M3 or an S2k or a 911 or whatever I want!" but instead chooses to drive a 15 y/o economy car with an entire 6mo's worth of Compact Sports Car advertised parts hung off of it. Does it take talent, money, and skill to make a Civic HB fast? Sure it does. But just cause it's hard doesn't mean it's worth doing. It would be hard to scale the wall outside my 3rd floor bedroom window and climb in, but that doesn't mean it's better than taking the stairs.


Here's a hint, ricers: want to really impress people? Instead of spending $45k making a $2k Civic fast in a straight line, go buy an M3 and learn to drive it on a track, and then quit trying to bait 50 y/o dudes in Corvettes to drag race you down main street while you have your high school-aged gf in the passenger seat. No matter how fast your car is, or how much work you put into it, as long as ricers insist on covering their cars in ghey body kits and queer stickers while trying to drive at mach 5 on public roads, mature car enthusiasts will continue to think of them as faggoty mouthbreathers who beat off to JDM parts catalogs and pictures of Skyline GT-Rs. Buy a real car, and take it to the track. Or keep your Civic, and just realize your place in the car-world pecking order.
