I don't get where there is such a stupid gulf between the owners of the FR-S/Genesis Coupe/Mustang/350z etc. I mean damnit, at the end of the day we all chose to get a rwd, fun to drive, sports car. We all have more in common (probably) than not. It pisses me off that people get on their high horse and judge each other's choice. There is a good argument to get every car above listed, just personal preference. I always like seeing more sports/rwd cars out there. It gives me hope that people have not given up on driving.

Exactly. That said, however, every comment or reaction I've gotten so far has been positive.

Depends on how good you are with her/her family. You may just want to let that one slide. No matter how wrong he is.

Hey life's too short to get worked up over other peoples' petty snobbery. Use that energy instead to love the hell out of your own car and to enjoy appreciating all the other nice cars you see on the road

Absolutely.

I have no hate at all for the GC, Zs, Mustangs, Camaros, etc. They're all damn nice cars. I picked the one that fit me the best, but I won't look down on anyone for making a different decision.

We're RWD sports car drivers. We can all sit around and laugh at the guys stuck in the Versa, Yaris, and Accent penalty boxes.

Same, I get just as much hate from my own kind too. It's like other Honda Owners have never seen a clean caged civic before. "look a nicer civic than mine! Let's drive like an ass fuck near him! Yea!"

Ricing out any of the cars you mention would be like putting a fake label on a real Gucci bag.
