I wouldn\'t call it "wasting money" but if that\'s what you think and so be it.
it\'s hard to talk someone to be in the car business, if they don\'t like it.

this is an automobile, not some 10 year old honda that a kid dumped his allowance into

not to mention its what i drive :)
-
nice ride, but why mock \'em Honda drivers? yeah it\'s 10 years ago, but with some work I\'m sure it will be better than ever. I don\'t drive Hondas but they\'re well build as far as I\'m concern.
P.S. what kinda jeep is it? it\'s a 5 speed right??:p
-
yeah, that honda civic hatchback has a lot of potential! its just whoever owns that car has no taste or really did not know what they were doing. With a new paintjob, bodykit, rims, etc., that car would look really nice!:D
-
its not the honda\'s i despise in themselves
its the kids that put the "salad shooter" exhaust pipes on thier tailpipe fro thier 1.6 liter 4 cylinder engine and think thier l337.
yes, my wrangler is a stock 5 speed 6 cylinder 4.0 litre workhorse
heres a pic from last septembers outing :)

Why do u talk **** mm, maybe that kid doesnt have alot of money, i think everyone that drive jeeps are assholes, that think they are the **** of the town. Not everyone can be as wealthy as u so dont talk **** about someone u dont even know.
-
I somewhat agree w/ mm, i get real tired of people trying to race me off the line at every stop light. I drive a Camaro, so every ricer wants to race me with their 4bangers, and it gets old, they add some stickers, a big stereo, and a 3" exhuaust and they think they have a street racer. And by the way for all you 4 bangers with big exhaust, you do relize with out back pressure, you have no low end torque?
But i do have respect for TRUE 4banger street racers, but those cars have got to pull at least 14 secs in the 1/4 mile, but there are very few of those.
-
wealthy as me? i have a job. if you dont have one, get one. they allow you to purchase alot of neat stuff.
"that think they are the **** of the town". you can have the town, we\'ll take the offroad. jeeps own the outdoors
yer not the owner of that car are you? lol
-
About that first car..... Wow.
I looked at it and I think he spray painted the racing stripes on. That makes me smile.
-Eik
-
haha, nice car. :rolleyes:

Hondas are great cars to tune up, but you\'ll need serious $$$ to do it. They\'re not like Camaro, which you can bolt $300 worth of parts on and get a good 50 hp out of it. With a small tuned displacement engine it\'s much harder and much much more expensive... which is why kids tend to give up on them. They are however, great cars to use for autocross, since you can\'t beat \'em around a twisty track. Check out the Touring Car series for proof.
And that 3" pipe stuff is retarded. A 1.6 honda shouldn\'t have any more than like 2 1/4" or you\'re being counterproductive in your tuning efforts.

You forgot a couple images, MM. I like these! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

The red one is ours (my family\'s that is), the lil\'white one belongs to some frenchie\'s.

My pride and joy! All Wheel Drive! Soon this car will have an STi engine and tranny and should be able to do 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds! But this car ain\'t for drag racing, as I find that quite boring. ROAD RACING BABY! YEAH!

Here\'s my car in action. I did quite well in the autocross. Beating out several Miatas and even a Viper!

GmanJoe, I love your car. In fact, I like most Subaru\'s because they are really built well and are famous in the off-road competitions.
I personally think that with all the hype in customizing cars with looks and trying to get a "10 sec" car is today\'s fad. Ever since Fast and the Furious debuted, all these n00bs started thinking they were some big shot supin up their POS with all this Japenese crap. Now, this isn\'t a insult to the non-n00bs, because I do like some of the tricked out cars I see on SpeedVision, especially with them built in LCD\'s hooked up with their PS2\'s :)
It\'s all personal preference. Some people buy a car and couldn\'t be bothered in maintaining it. While others spend every minute of their life dreaming of what else they can do to their ride. It\'s a hobby if you ask me. Sounds kinda like them videogame collector junkies. Some people don\'t understand the difference between their 7 inch Kmart TV and tin-can speakers and a 30\'\' WEGA with some nice surround speakers....
-
I say do what you like. I personally may not think every tricked-out Civic bouncing down the street is attractive OR practical, but someone LOVES that car, and someone is very proud to be farting down the expressway in that little beast. It\'s not my money, and it is most definitely not my place to make them feel bad about how they spend theirs.

no, just do what i do
1. point
2. laugh

Yeah I can see people not liking the kids that just get some honda and put an exhaust on it but I know people who take there car seriously and do that, a guy I know has a 240SX with an imported Silvia engine, Super Charged 4-cylinder with over 300 HP, he can burn a stock corvette in a straight away

I do that. Hell, even pedestrians at bus stops do that to those poor Civics! :)

The red Mazda in the back looks like my one , but it`s already 9 1/2 years old. I plan on getting a new one soon , and it will be a Subaru like GManJoe. That is a sweet car you have there , Joe. Ever had any serious problems with it ?

Is that an MX3? My wife had one when we first started dating. We dumped it though.

None. You know how most two wheel drive cars spin out in the rain when you have to merge into a road from a stand still? Not with all wheel drive! :D It moves like it\'s dry!
And if yuo ever need to launch the car in a drag race, keep your head back against the head rest. Coz all four tires will bite and launch like you got kicked in the ass! :D
The problem with my car is that I get a lot of bad looks from Mustang, Camaro and Civic drivers. I\'ve noticed that Type R Integras could care less coz they know they don\'t have anythig to prove, hell, they\'re driving a Type R!!!!
enjoy!

Haha mm! GmanJoe, love your car, but why does it say STi on the front fog light covers? That\'s almost as bad as the ricers getting Si-R stickers on their domestic Hondas.
:mad:
But as for the car itself, how much does yours weigh and what\'s the fuel economy for an AWD like that? Your WRX\'s color and rims are the (almost) same combination I want to get with a new Altima, Evo, or WRX. Good taste, except for that sticker part! :)

The fog light covers came with them. But like I said, it\'s gonna get an STi engine in it by next year. So, why take off "STi" when it\'s gonna have it anyway?
This version weighs 2,850 pounds. I get about 27mph on the highway but about 23 mph when i do some "spirited" driving. :D The rims are expensive since they are for competition : Volk Rays TE-37. They\'re 17" x 7.5" and they\'re very light since they\'re forged aluminum. They weigh about 13 pounds each. Any lighter, you\'d have to get Magnesium rims! :eek:
The Sticker...ah, who cares? Most people are staring at the rear end of the car anyway! :D

MM I am 100% with you. After this "Fast and the Furious" phase peters out all the teens are gonna look at their cars (and their wallets) and say..."sh*t, im an idiot."

Yes, and now it`s time to dump mine and search for something better.
