And there is nothing you can do to a civic that hasnt been done a million times before.

And I laugh even more at the guys that try to make their Civics look even more high dollar with fancy leather interiors, puddle lights, HIDs, etc.
your wrx isn't an econobox?

People that can afford leather interior and turbos can afford to have more expensive cars. They drive them because they like them. If you laugh at them for that, you're laughing for the wrong reasons.

To the OP, most people trash Honda because it was the main brand to be whored out during the rise of the tuning scene in the mid to late 90s. Most Hondas during that time were very slow and people starting putting on stupid modifications to make the cars look and perform better than they did. The notion has ceased to go away.

Even when I had my turbocharged S2000 - that had 400 whp - people rarely gave me any respect or thumbs up. AND it was rear wheel drive. Now I drive a run of the mill 240sx that just so happens to have an R33 Skyline engine and kids flip out left and right. I get more props and attention than a stripper on the pole.

...and my car has much less power and handling ability than my s2000 did. Nowadays it's all about drifting..
