so many bolt on parts for those cars. . . for such little $$. . . doesn't take much to get those things insanely fast.

Agreed. While reading this thoroughly entertaining story I started to realize that its almost sad. Who is raising these kids? Why do they think that its cool? Its far beyond everybody having their own opinion and tastes, etc., etc. When do these people - the ones so dedicated to this entire ideal - say, yeah, this is the COOLEST thing to do to your car. Its depressing to think that the future generations are clinging to "judging the book by its cover." They don't care whats "real." They are hoping that at first glance, any given person will say, yeah, that car is fast. Its the poser generation. The fake gangsta, the wing buyers, the sticker mongers, the tYpE-are's. Why do these kids settle for something that is ultimately fake? Sad, depressing, so on and so forth.
We all have the choice to "appear to be" or actually "be."
It makes me respect the real tuners out there even more.
If I were to get wasted by a truly fast Civic I'd take the time to shake the owner's hand. But this is just ridiculous.

Its almost a serious issue that NEEDS to be dealt with!!

Right on, Wyatt!

I've actually had some seriously fast iron, but those, especially, didn't have advertising all over them making them stand out (like my Seafoam green 1969 Plymouth Barracuda coupe with the 426 hemi in it - no hint at all on the outside, other than better tires).

If one can do, they do, if not, they pose, I guess.

We seem, as a culture and society, to be getting more and more into just surface appearances, not actual truths.

Add into that the pervading desire of the, uh, 'younger set' to "be different, just like everyone else" and we get econo-cars with sound systems that can be heard from three blocks and enough fake go-fast goodies to totally sap whatever performance they might have had stock...

I KNOW I'm old, but I don't understand what 'value' posing has.

Have we raised an entire generation of 'drugstore cowboys' that are all hat and no cattle?

It is sad.

Wyatt_Herb

Thats my position and I'm only 22!

epitek

i held out reading this thread just because it had the word civic in it. eventho it was a very long read, it was hilarious!!!

the only request i can make is like everyone else, pics!!!!


c'mon, with all of us spread around the U.S., it shouldn't take us very long to find this UFO. there will be a lot of imitations and copycats of this UFO, but c'mon, we have to find the original!

mokenso

too long, only read halfway...but why dont u post some pics up..

FrankenScion

did you read the first line at least?

it's not his story

Huey

^^^ very good point. i think after reading such a long post everyone gets into the story so much they forget the part where he says it's not his story.

since everyone is asking for pics, I think what I'll do is search throught he archives of rice.com, and find a car thats fits the description in the story the best. Then all post it up on here so that everyone can clearly picture what a hideous car it is.

jrv2000

I havn't been able to find one that fits the exact description, so maybe someone if they feel like it can photoshop one together. I found one car though that looks horrific, here it is...

djct_watt

i thought this was a hondtard story, not geotard

jrv2000

You must be way better at spotting brands than me, because to tell the truth I couldn't tell for the life of me what type of car that was. I just found the fugly - est car I could find and post it up. But as I said before, I think the only way were going to be able to get a picture, is if someone photoshops it.

mokenso

my vision gets blurry when i see too much words....and yeah, i completely missed the first bold sentence......
