There are too many other people around and the people that are gonna get hurt are somebody's wife or kid - take it to a track if you want to race. And finally, yes, it's still a Civic. People laugh at him when he drives by and they don't give a shit how fast his car is (believe it or not, that actually doesn't matter to most people). Fucking ricers...
(Your the kind of guy that prevented me to buy a bimmer up to 2008 when I had no choice sorry I just can't stand elitist or badge whores)

Who cares what people think...why would people laugh?...Some people are laughing at bmw owners paying more than 1000$/month. Some people are laughing at brand whores driving 323I. You don't like civic get over it.....I don't like 1996 318Ti...you don't see me making a big case and laughing at your car.....If you like it fine I don't have a problem with that..some people hate my 1er..life goes on...I don't give a flying F as long as I like the car that I'm driving I'm fine. I wanted an RWD car with 300+hp with good brakes, a good resale value the 135I fit my needs so I bought it...If the Hyundai Genesis 2.0T would have been out in 2008 I would have probably bought one of those and slap a big turbo on it.....(it has decent brembo's, comes WITH AN LSD,easy to mod).

As I track my car I don't give a flying F what people think about it. Any idiot or douchebag working at Mcdonalds can walk in a showroom take a loan or lease a brand new bimmer...go pick up 18 year old girls and try to impress them. You have to be more of a gearhead to built/own a built civic/stang/evo or any other highly modded car.

Trust me I've been working in the car business for a few years plus I co-owned a shop for 5 years.

The best time of my life was when I was 17-18 no money sinking all my money in my civic. My next pay check was spent before I even got it. I used to go to the shop after work and hang around/work on my car/customers/friends car up to 2am...used to order pizza/drink beer do some experiments...we had a blast....I really miss those days. I can still remember the day we swapped my friends car at 12am and made a motor mount out of an hockey puck since he had to go to work with the car a few hours later.

I had to vent because I can't imagine that there are some morons laughing at lesser cars and think that they're the shiznit...You know what we're pretty fortunate to have Bimmers hell even a car...Some people starving as we speak.

You can flame me like a BBQ chicken I don't care I had to get this off my chest.
