Before you bought this car, did you hesitate and realize you're buying the new Civic?

[Accurate Race Shop]

This is a cheap car if you want an exclusive car that no one is going to do dumb mods to you need to spend at least double. There are things on modded cars that I hate. The donked versions of cars, the ones with the biggest speakers they can shove in there, the loudest exhaust money can buy, and stanced cars. In reality their are competitions for all of these things and there is not a tastefully modded trophy at car shows. While I have autocross trophies and time trial trophies to prove my tracked prepped car is better than theirs. They have just as many trophies saying theirs is better than mine. If you want a car most people are not going to so this to dig deep and buy a new vette or a boss 302.

@gymratter. Same goes for bimmers.





If you don't own an M car. You can't talk trash. Even the douche that owns the M6 above found a way to fuck it up.

I like this thread because I understand how OP feels.

I didn't buy my car because of what people would think about me. However I've come to realize just how much I get judged on account of the ride.

Sucks but it's part of the deal.

But, I will like and dislike what others do to their cars much the same way they do the same to mine. Just don't judge the human until they drift in traffic and take out a minivan. Those assholes can drive off a cliff.

I think the Camaro or Challenger are the next Civic, if you really want to get into that topic. I see much more turribly modded 'maros than FR-Ses.

Mayhaps I am off base, but if these are the things that worry you, why didn't you buy an American make vehicle?

Um, cuz American cars suck? People rice out American cars too.

Don't really care about the depreciation value of my car, going to keep until the wheels fall off.

But do care about the insurance cost. I haven't seen much if any riced out fr-s or brz's around here locally.

EFA - so, you braggin' ?

Moderate example of shit-bucket stirring I suppose.

I had an early Civic S. When the muffler rusted out, I replaced it with OMFG! an OEM JDMaF muffler.
Guess I missed something along the way.

Can rice out a Monte Carlo. Been done.

Insurance? It's only dropping more every year. AARP rates may cut it in half

Mine plummeted from what I paid for my GTI and I even upped the coverage since we bought a house.

Be interesting to see how more crash data and whatever else they use to make rates will affect premiums.

i have seen tons of very nice cars or cars that have been riced out:

Need a warning for posts like that.
What has been seen.... cannot be unseen.

I vomited a little

You don't have to wait for the "kids" to "Rice Out" cars anymore. Go to any good size car show and you can find the 50+ crowd doing it also. My local cruse has a new Stingray with red under body and under hood lighting, 08 Mustang GT with lambo doors and under car lighting lots of stick on body mods, and numerous Challengers with all sorts of wrong things done to them and most of the owners over 50 years old. I have met most of them and for the most part there very nice folks just don't share my taste as I am sure others hate on my classic car for the drag look and sound and some hate my FR-S just because it is an import.

Also there is a huge double standard for imports/sub compacts I kind of find funny. There is a super nice C6 making 600hp on the engine and over 800 with the spray that has airbrush work and CF body parts and lights all over it but it seems accepted. If I did the same to my FR-S and made 400hp it would be rice and my 69s exhaust for example is 94db @ idle 126 @7000RPM had it for 15 years and never been messed with, my Lightning was around 70-95db also never a second look but I have seen the cops ignore my cars and mess with a Civic or WRX for having a loud exhaust or open BOV and then have to wait until the offending car leaves before I can start my car and leave.

To OP: I let some "kid" I know (knew) at a local 86 meet rev my car for me so I could hear it outside. He bounced off the limiter almost nonstop, totally disrespecting my shit, until I told him to cut it out.

I felt like I a complete idiot for letting him do it, and because afterwards, I'm sure people thought it was me and I did no not want that vibe associated with me.

Normally, even if my car is loud, I drive respectably. But there are people like this "kid" that drive like morons and give our cars a bad stigma. Example, I'm driving 65mph, and this "kid" is on my ass, forcing me to inch faster and faster, which resulted in both of us almost getting pulled over.

There are at least 2 different types owners of these cars: mature and immature.

I know who I'm not cruising with anymore, and I hope you read this

how is the kid an idiot for doing exactly what you told him? i think the truth is (like you might be alluding to) that there isnt just a mature/immature divide. its a gradient and thats where a lot of the issue comes from. for example, you come here to a ricer thread with an avatar with smoked tail lights. a lot of people would say thats pretty rice. to each his own.
