Seems as though I've forgotten to address the thread topic.
I don't like it when crap gets all riced out. It's a domestic ponycar, not an imported tin can. I like it when people do tasteful modifications, but my idea of tasteful is probably different than a lot of people's.
Really, I think that people who know their cars, put their money and effort into making their car look how THEY like it, or run like THEY like it are entitled to do about anything they want. Turning a car into a ghetto blaster hoopty is one thing. That's just being envious of an inferior crowd. Making your car be what you want it to be is cool. Whether it's all show and no go, or all go and no show. Neither is better than the other in my opinion.
Take pride in your ride. Not because you can beat every car on the street, or it glows like a mirror in the sun, but because you love your car, and you know your car.
I think back to when I was younger. Driving around in my black 88LX Hatch with turbines. That was a NICE looking car. I detailed it, washed it, waxed it, poured blood into it (somtimes literally by accident). It wasn't fast, but it was fun, and even if I couldn't make it fast, at least it was going to look as good as I could afford. Cripes. Maybe you guys should gang up on all the kids out there busting their *** because they are less fortunate than you. The only reason I even had that LX was because I got it for a steal. Feels like you guys are all jumping on me, calling me stupid, and a ricer cause my car wasn't a GT. If there is a person on this board that put a lot more effort into their car than I did in that car, I'd be suprised. Sorry if I'm ranting, but I had as much fun in that little car as any of the other one's I've owned. To tell me I was misguided for thinking it was nice is angering.
