There's a lot of latent hatred in that rant, isn't there?
I don't own a 130hp Civic.
I've never bothered with cheap parts that don't perform.
Bodykits? Loud exhausts? Not here.
If you're of the mind that improving the performance of an automobile is a "waist" of money, then try life behind the wheel of some neutered shitbox Corolla. If it suits you, fine... but I'd sooner gouge out my eyes than drive such a hideously bland and comprehensively numb excuse for an automobile.
Despite being mechanical objects, well-tuned, responsive cars have the ability to stir one's soul. If you're passionate about driving, the rewards are there.
