Did i miss something?

This is not a Ferrari or Veyron. It's an inexpensive Honda. You buy it because you like driving it. So I don't understand when you say "this ricer did this, this ricer did that, blah blah blah", when you're in here talking about what people did.

I completely agree with CKit. I would use my car and have fun with it. At the end, it's just a car and what you take with it is what counts.

I put 80,000 miles in 3 years in my Evo and it was 100% worth it.

"I think we're seeing a breed of teens and early 20-somethings who buy the car to represent something. Status, achievement, etc. They get very defensive when someone "tarnishes" that image.

But really, if it can be bought on a budget... how elitist can you expect to be? Use it, enjoy it. Mod it if you want it to be unique. I like FI and mods to keep the "uumph.""

It's what YOU do with it that matters, not what OTHERS do.

No matter what, you're still gonna be a ricer for thinking s2000 is some sort of Elite car or a Status symbol. That and you're telling people how poor you are. lol

Unless you're paying for their car payment, you don't have no rights to talk smack about what they do with their own money.

 

I think owners of hot cars in the 60s and 70s were probably saying the same thing.

 

so a ricer don't know anything about there car? are you assuming that nothing base on what mods that did or how many stickers they put on? it sounds to me that you have different taste then them. its not rice or a lack of s2000 knowedge.

so maybe some ricer also worked hard to get their s2000. have you ever think about that? also you bought a HONDA. Yes the s2000 is just a HONDA. Honda and Rice will aways mix.

 

Shut up and drive.

eh, OK< that's a little harsh. What I'm trying to say is who cares? Enjoy your car for what it is: fun.

 

Usually , if there's someone who is young with a nice car, I think:

1. Its not his, it's his parent's. (somewhat true)

2. It's his but he's in debt. (very true, with most people actually)

3. It's his and he owns it outright. (rare)

4. He's not young, just a well aged Asian man. (sometimes, but always hillarious)


So if number 2 is most often, why would I feel anything? I would just hope he puts some good tires on the car and hope his parents and he have insurance.

 

at #4

im 28 going on 19 haha

 

Well said. Fun is the main reason I owwn this car.

I should have never made the thread. This went completely opposite of what I thought. Sorry guys, I am out of line.

 

Im 3 Anywayz, its just a car, enjoy it and live YOUR life. I see cars all the time, every make and breed with "additions" if you will, like a GTR badge on a ford mustang. Seen a few of those actually

 

I get a kick out of this every time it comes up. Yes, we all love our cars as evidenced by the fifty million posts here. Somebody that buys an older cheaper example might or might not share the passion. I feel the same way about very good guitars being abused to play shit music. But the thing is, if someone buys something, they're entitled to do whatever they want with it. No matter how much it hurts.

 

As one who has been dubbed "the worlds oldest Ricer," I was having a hard time trying to find a nice way to tell you what you have apparently already relized.
