I couldn't drive over 75 on the interstate without some idiot wanting to be ricky racer cut me off and block me from passing them or playing speed up/slow down. Fuck I hated that, sooooo much.

It's probably because you had a coffee can exhaust on it

Nope, it was bone stock. It was the cheap model with no power locks, power windows too. There was nothing on that car that said rice besides the civic badge.

Were any of your body panels primer-coated? Another ricer giveaway

How to upset your friends as a Civic owner

Upset your White friends - Do not attach type R sticker, fart can and intake
Upset your Asian friends - Do not attach type R sticker, fart can, intake and do not replace seats
Upset your Hispanic friends - Do not attach type R sticker, fart can, intake, don't replace seats and do not install lowering links
Upset your Black friends - Do not replace wheels. leave stereo stock.

I'm putting 20% tint on the Camaro for just that reason...makes it easier to ignore the dumbasses that can't be near the car on the road without wanting to "race."

My wife wants a new Civic....we're giving her 2006 to my daughter.

As for the original topic of this thread, those new Civics are fucking hideous. I was looking one over in the showroom while buying my Pilot. I think the only Honda vehicle I like now is my Pilot. I'd rather have a Mazda 3 than a Civic.

^ if you can't afford new seats, race-look seatbelt sleeves will suffice

I used to twitch at the bs to justify it.

"Those seatbelts be biting into my skin yo...I put those on for comfort and shit."

My favorite is sitting at a light and have some clown in a riced out heap standing on the gas making that crazy gazoo noise.....just dying for some attention.

I can't help but laugh and think about how, when I was a kid, my friends and I would clothes pin a piece of cardboard to on the frame of our bicycles so it would slap against the spokes as we rode....make some noise...feel like we were going FAST.

Haters!

I was just the opposite when I had my Eclipse. I removed all labels that advertised GSX, AWD, or turbo. Installed a 16G turbo, but left the exhaust stock in appearance. It would run 13.7-13.8 in the quarter mile, but looked like a baseline model from the outside. Few things were more satisfying than unexpectedly leaving a Camaro or Mustang sitting at the line

.

The next light always played out in one of two scenarios: 1. Other driver looks dead ahead, will not make eye contact no matter what (happened most if they had some chica with them) or 2. they rolled down their window and asked what trickery I was up to.
