Why do CRX owners call their cars Rexs?

[GTScoob]

Alright, so I get why WRXs are called Rex's because the name obviously sounds like it if you try to pronounce it (and some brits actually even call them Werxs), but CRXs? I'd have to call those Cricks or Cracks, not Rex.

To the CRX owners on here, why do you call your car a Rex?

[Hamhands]

the same reason subie guys do it, when your pronounce CRX, You get seearrexx. and WRX, doubleyourrexx. same thing, and the CRX guys have done it longer than WRX guys have anyways. I dont own either one, but I remember CRX's getting called rex's in the mid-late 90's.....

[Elbow]

Yeah I always called my CRX a rex.....but I usually called it a "cervix"

Interesting, I'm sure subaru guys were call the older RXs rexs at the same time CRXs were selling brand new in dealerships, and mid-late 90s had WRXs all around the world being called such.

But like in the other thread, I hate getting on here and seeing a pic thread with a title like "check out my new rex" and then seeing some beat up POS honda with a D-series in it.

[Elbow]

D series Honda motor can be built easily and be quick, my A6 in my CRX WALKED 5.0 Mustangs with mods, stock B series swapped Hondas, and a lot more all day.

Same thing with the RX-7, which has been around longer then both

[Elbow]

Never heard a RX-7 be called a rex

[Hamhands]

aww, its the bugeye wrx owner mad because he thinks only his car should be called a rex.... dear god man, grow a set. WRX's didnt come here until 02, so before that RX-7's and CRX's had claim to the term, I'm a GC Subie guy myself, I hate seeing ads that say check out my OG impreza, and its a bugeye, the ugliest impreza in all creation, but you dont see me ranting about it..... jeez.

i 've heard it plenty. Though i dot use it myself.

When i hear "rex" i think Subaru.....only because WRX ppl have whored that name out with a passion.

[AnTi-PooN]

why is it thread worthy?

Its because its way easier to say than double you are ex and it makes a lot more sense than any of the other applicable cars.

fail.

He was refering to sounding the WORD out. not the letters. Read wrx like a vanity plate, it'll sound like "Wrecks." Now do the same for CRX... doesn't work. I understand that Honda guys have been calling it Rex since the 90's but So have Subaru guys in Japan and Australia.

I've called Rx-7's "Rex's" too but no a Crx.

[GTScoob]

Subaru RX powered by WJM. The original USDM turbo subaru, and I guess the original subaru REX

[NoRotor]

DIAF.

[uproot]

man, all this rex talk is making me want to start calling my car a rex

[uproot]

but since CRX means Civic Renaissance Model X theres a chance that you can kinda see where you might be able to slightly pull rex from that, lol

[southside]

C "R X"

you're a fuccking moron. he wasn't making a big deal out of it just curious to know why they're called rex. pfft, seriously guy, you know as much about cars as you do about pu55y, which is about as much as an embryo knows about calculus. give up. and just move along. but hey, you like subie's so you can't be all bad lol, just lose the tude.

[OneSlow5pt0]

i never called my RX-7 a rex........i called it a 7,X, or FC

[b16EG-HaTcH]

my friend calls them c-rex's makes alittle more since, but i digress......i usually dont call my subaru a rex either.

[Uptown401]

wrx- ryex
crx- error 404: does NOT sound like rex

[itsnotarex]

Don't call it a rex.

[KevinT707]

Ehh.. who cares.

I could care less if someone called CRXs 'Bobby'. So yeah just get over it, you'll be just fine. And I have never called a CRX "Rex" because I do think it's gay.

[Revmaynard]

Yea it's gay, but just like people calling rims ''shoes'', we will have people calling their CRX their ''rex''.

[bigdare23]

Damn two threads about CRXs being call REXs in a week Woot Woot.






Lame, seriously IA is falling off when people are ranting about a 20 year old car nickname.

[VickNotic]

[eYezs1ck]
