I got a friend with a late 90's 4 door civic like a 99' or so. He has been giving me a ride to a lot of places lately since I'm in the middle of taking my old motor out and dropping the new one in. Everytime we go for a ride I have to hear about what he plans on doing to his car since he see's me fixing up mine. Like ground effects, a turbo, "NOSS" (I've given up trying to explain nitrous to him.), a new japanese spec motor, a 6spd tranny, seats, repainting it, wing, cowl hood, neon lighing, lights for the windshield fluid sprayer, new integra headlights, etc..etc... Then he goes on to say when it's done it should keep up with mine. I'm like dude what in the heck are you smoking??? First your car will never "keep up with mine", second the amount of money it would take to do what you want is insane, and when all is said and done you still just have a 4 door honda civic and to keep it stock and get good gas milage. But it's useless he just doesn't see the light. I am starting to wonder about if I really need ride from him or not, it is getting on my last nerve. These people are brainwashed, I think there is a hidden message in FAST & THE FURIOUS that only people who don't drive mustangs see.
