I saw a lifted G body with stock rims. Donks are expensive to build, I guess. GHETTO PROBLEMS.

I saw a green 13 year old Camry with a huge mis-matched wing, rimz, weird square exhaust tip, and no badges (though their outlines were still there), except a TRD badge. It was dark so no pics.

You love Mercedes Benzes and you love kitsch American styling.  This car combines the best (or worst) of both worlds.

Speaking of rice....

The ricers have been out in full force now that I have the BRZ.  Got the stare down and nod of approval from some absolute white trash.  4 of them packed into a matte black, spray canned first gen Eclipse.  Nasty, eBay taillights, park bench wing, slammed to the ground on chrome wheels.  Just awful.  Big, blue coffee can exhaust.

I get this just about daily from the ricer crowd :lol:

That was a big thing when I thought about owning a BRZ down the road. The ricer crowd must be ridiculous  :lol:

I get that shit in the GTI. At least once a month, a dipshit in a fartcanned Civic/Tiburon/Integra (not to mention newer Sis) will try and race me. Last time it happened was on my way to VT, when a 2003 Tiburon replete with fart can, body kit on the verge of disintegrating, AND flashing reverse lights (?!) kept provoking me.

One of the downsides to driving a sport compact.

I only had one guy try to race me while I had the SVTC. It was one of those strange looking Civic SiR's hatchback things we got here a few years ago. I didn't want any part of him (broad daylight, biggest street in town, cops are everywhere around this place). Good thing I didn't either, heard his BOV after he raced ahead  :lol:

Earning the nod of approval from knuckle-draggers like these is reason enough ditch BRZ.  Yeah, it's a nice car but the fact neanderthals like these tend to gravitate towards it is enough to make me scratch it off my list!.

I was wondering that the other day. What's so cool about a normal Civic? I can see the appeal of an Si, but most riced-out Civics are just base models.

I guess it's just what kids used to be able to get their hands on, and now it's turned into the cool car to have.

Civics have been good to drive in base trim. And they have a reputation of slaughtering cars 10X the price not only at the drag strip, but on the circuit as well.



Ricers don't know that, though.

Is that why you bought the Catera?  Because of the plethora of classy people it draws in?  Do they wear top hats, monocles, and pocket watches too? :lol:
