Ever look at people in civics when they go by? They're always laughing, smiling, sunroof open, tunes pounding out...
Ever look at people in beamers, mercs, etc.? Windows closed tight. A/C on, with air filtration engaged. Stern, mean, concerned look on their face (such important people apparently have many important worries).
I don't want become like that. I'd rather be civic people
P.S. Thanks for all the wonderful responses!
I love your steotypes, perhaps you can pull out some more stinky horsecrap for your next post. Everytime i see someone driving a civic it's usually some 30-40 year old lady or some disgruntled looking guy that just got off a 10 hour shift sitting in some little cubicle driving home to a crappy little shack to have himself a can of beans and franks. People that say they'd rather drive a civic over a M series BMW or AMG mercedes
SIMPLY CANT AFFORD ONE
I don't know what you're talking about by saying a civic has better handling/acceleration/road feel/braking than say a M3 or C32 AMG cause if you think so you're obviously smoking crack. I guess you love feeling the road and making a FWD car with less than 100 wtq dance with 185/65/14 firestones on them. FYI a few years back car and driver named the E36 M3 the BEST HANDLING CAR at any price beating out car such as a Ferrari 355, porsche 911, acura NSX so i guess that must mean a civic is superior to the world's exotic sports cars to beat the lowly disconnected driving experience you get in a M3 or AMG benz.
Have you ever seen anyone driving a M or AMG car? They are the guys with the windows down tearing ass in the mountain roads having fun because they actually have carefree and fun lives. People work hard to get nice homes, nice houses, support their family, put their kids through college. It's called responsibility and you should be so lucky to get a chance to live a good life, but some people prefer to sit on their ass making 15 bucks an hour driving a tin can around for the rest of their life.
My point was if you're 30 and only getting older you'll eventually want to have a family in which case you'd probably want a bigger/more mature car. But hey if you wanna act like a teenager the rest of your life and have fun in a civic by all means do so. There's nothing wrong with driving a civic when you're 17-25 because that's what it's aimed at but i'll be sure to wave at you when i roll by you with the windows down in my M3.
