Before you bought this car, did you hesitate and realize you're buying the new Civic?
I know I didn't. But boy it is nauseating seeing how many people are ricing these cars out or just driving stupidly. The companies did great insuring that they would sell because they are priced competitively, but sometimes I wish it was more expensive to keep some people from buying it.
And to those of you who say "don't care what others say, do what you like", do you appreciate that your car's value is dwindling and your insurance is going up because people don't know how to drive these? When they first came out, the BRZ and FR-S were looked at as great looking, sweet cars by most people. They are still great to the people that appreciate what they do. It just sucks that the general public is starting to see these cars as loud, obnoxious, riced out cars. The more I go through Facebook groups and see what people are doing to their cars, it just annoys the shit out of me. Sorry if you think I shouldn't get annoyed by it, but the more and more people do that shit, the more that these cars get lumped into the "rice" group. /rant |

Well I mean, Honda Civics do hold their values pretty damn well. Soooo, I don't see your point.

Heh. Looking forward to seeing the riced-out junk in ten years with rusty fart-cans and cracked Rocket Bozo bodywork. I'll (hopefully) be driving around in a very clean mostly-stock FR-S. Not really bothered by it, just want to make sure they know we are laughing at them, not with them.

The other thing is, these really aren't that cheap. They're not in the civic price range. The civic starts at about 7k less, and you can get year or two old ones cheap. This car doesn't have nearly as large a used market to choose from and they start mid 20s. Though it's clear people have over extended themselves as I'm starting to see a lot of used ones with very low miles popping up. |

That thought never crossed my mind. I'm more curious if people hesitate or realize they're making themselves look ghetto and trashy when getting their new tattoo...you know...cause it's nauseating seeing how many sluts and criminals have tattoos.
See how narrow minded that sounded?

I used to care about what other people did with their cars and personal properties. But then I grew up and realized that it does not effect me at all. Therefore, why care?
