The only half decent comparision I've ever seen was between the Civic and the Shoebox Chevy (55-57). Both cars were cheap and plentiful. That was as far as the comparision went, and for a time all the kids were rodding up the Bel Air's and 210's, etc.

I wish I could remember where I saw that statement, because it was years ago and I doubt they think like that anymore. At the time it kind of made sense, before the whole all show no go ricer thing took off.

James, that song was awesome.

I dislike that the media is trying to capitalize on the spoiled little ricer kids to try and keep hot rodding funded. Anybody seen hi-rev tv or whatever it is on Speed? Come on, any show about how Midas will put dual tips on a civic does not belong on the speed network. But those are the people who blow all their money.

Someday I will sit back with a cold one and read the whole article. Sounds like it will be pretty entertaining.
