Honestly I think its the jump start in a community thats since been victim of recession. You gotta remember the 90's was a spark of badass car after badass car after badass car. We could be possibly be reliving what happened once before. Except then I was watching pokemon after elementary school, now Im a part of it, and fucking love it. Besides, most of the mods everyone has done on her has been very tasteful AND FUNCTIONAL which is what matters.

Mr. Clean

Your car is beautiful. I'm not normally a fan of civic hatches, but when they're done like this, which is rare, I can see why people cult over them.

For me this car is worth it because it gives me the feeling of what it was like to own a Toyota sports car during that time. I'm riding in a machine that has roots to names such as supra, celica, ae86...

If it was loaded with high tech instruments or items resembling that of Porsche's, lambos, the lfa-if it favored more in the "supercar" aspect, I would have not a fraction of the desire for it. In a way I think the LFA has affected this car in a negative way. A lot of playboy front-runners are after this car because it's the closest thing they can get to tricking their friends (who have no idea about cars) into thinking it's something that it's not.

I miss the days when the more than affordable Japanese sport coupe was the car to be desired. It was the underdog that the under-the-radar enthusiast would buy because they knew the cars had potential to beat out the supercars at a fraction of the price.

That's the Toyota I know and love. That's the fr-s.

I'm still modding a Celica. Did everyone else stop? What'd i miss?

lol, I didn't stop... but it was hard as the Civic was my only car... and it makes me mad since I use to do shows...

I'm starting almost ground up with the Civic, and using my BRZ as my daily driver (but I still bought stuff for it too, smh)

haha love tapped a truck because I didn't brake hard enough from the beginning and the tires (worn stock tires) lost grip when I hit the brakes harder when I got closer than I felt I should have to the truck - some speculate it was ABS but it doesn't feel like other cars' ABS that I've triggered before.
