Redcivic...from what I've seen, you are a married man. Generally, that means you have 2 incomes. This probably explains why you are able to have 4 cars. Just because some 17 year old kid who makes $6 an hour at their part time job doesn't have enough money to put into his car as you do, doesn't mean that they don't belong at the track. If we all worked a full time job and had a wife doing the same, we'd all have 13 second Civics...but we don't, so get over it.

It just burns me to see all these ricers lined up at the track talking **** about this mod and that mod when they run 17 second quarter miles. If you don't like my opinion then fine I could care less. But if you go to the track often and you have a slow car each time, then you are pathetic, plain and simple. I have much respect for the autcross scene but that type of racing takes a serious enthusiast to make civic competitive also.

Speed=money, what people fail to realize is, that when you brag about how fast you are, all your doing is bragging about how much money you have. Stick the worst racer in the world in a $150,000.00 porsche and a the best racer in a $30,000.00 mustang, and the money will win every time.
I was just browsing around the different forums and noticed this post. This is the reason so many people look down with discust on "ricers", these guys that have a maxima or civic and a little bit of money think they are awsome and really have something, i guess that the vette/viper crowd could look at you car as plain and pathetic,,,,,,but we dont. Cocky ricers brag about their "fast imports" and sneer at anyone who is slower.......well buddy, why dont you bring your "fast import" over to the next vette meet and size your car up to any of ours, since your car is apparently too fast to race these slower ones on this forum. See,,,you look at the guy running 15 sec or 17 sec, and claim he's not worthy of the dragstrip,,,,,,,well lets look at this from a faster perspective,,,,,,,,when all of us are running 10 and 11s, should we sneer at you because your running mid-high13s,,,,,No. We have all been broke/poor at one time, or could be in the future, if 17 sec is all your car will do than i say strive for 16.5.,,,,,,racing is in the blood, not the wallet!!!!!!!! race on little civics
