"Superman dat hoe"

That tops "Umbrella" as the worst song ever.

:rolleyes: go listen to your Justin Timberlake album

although I don't care much for the Soulja Boy song either, the Travis Barker remix is pretty cool :rockon:

Soulja Boy is way worse than Umbrella.I hate when I see people over 18 doing that dance.It's almost as bad as "Chicken noodle soup" and "Lip gloss"!

I've had the misfortune of driving an '03 and '04 Civic sedan AT.  Never do I ever want to drive those two cars again.

Pretty much facelifted version of this car. What's wrong with it? :rolleyes:

I thought it's much sportier to drive than the 2002 Camry, the '98 Corolla (which is the same as the '02 Corolla), the '07 Corolla, and the '99 Protege.

Granted, they WERE driver's ed. cars and pretty much abused.  They ALSO had 150,000+ miles on them.  The '03 has 160,000 miles by now.  The '04's gone.

I drove a 2001 5 speed coupe as well.  Of course, the state that that car's in right now, it doesn't resemble a stock car at all.  It throws a wheel in tight corners.

I find gold to be cheesy on all but white cars. Maybe cream too.
I also always thought that the gold emblem thing was a really indian thing to do...i dunno why.

I remember an ex of mine had a red 2001 Civic EX coupe...I thought it was a good little car (firm precise steering and well-controlled handling), but maybe just in comparison to my lemon Cougar that would occasionally leave me stranded in sketchy neighborhoods :mask:

I own an '02 DX. 5 speed is the best way to experience this econo box. If you can't learn to drive stick in this car, you won't learn it in any car. Easily my favorite shifter of any 5 speed I've ever driven. Too bad she doesn't really have that much jam..  :lol:

Actually, you can probably trace it back to '55 Caddys, or even further back to the brass era cars which were sometimes loaded with gold.

That car however, owes it's inspiration to a combination of street rodders on Woodward Ave. and the 1970 "John Player Special" paint scheme on Lotus race cars.



Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

I thought they started in the US in the late 70's early 80's, at least in the US.

Personally I always thought gold trim looked tacky on any car.  It simply screams "More money than brains".

So gold plating the entire car is a good or bad idea?

And yes: that came from the factory that way.

Honest.

Yeah, it was a joy to drive that car at 8/10ths, but it didn't like being pushed to the limits.
