And .. yeah. Yeah.
First, start by taking a peek over at the add you'll find here. Then, let me just ask a few questions:
1) Do honda civics /really/ go fast enough to make a "whale-tail" useful?
2) Why on earth would someone put blue road lights under what is, essentially, a /STATION WAGON?/
3) How many of these guys spent more on custom bits than they did on the car itself?
4) How many civics pictured here with the flames and the big wheels and the spoilers can actually do 0-60 in less than eight seconds?
And thus, the phenominon of "ricing" hits a new low, whereby style and fashion completely replace any semblance of substance. And that's just why it amuses me so much - I'm one of those people who'd rather have a battered 1972 Barracuda Mach 1 with the 454 small block and a dual-port blower than a absolutely gorgeous 1995 Civic with blue lights mounted in the wheel wells and a big ol' spoiler that's about as pointless as Al Gore running for president next time around.
It's the age-old choice - style or substance? Kinda makes me wonder what they're compensatin' for. Or, maybe, they have it right - after all, an impressive looking car gets noticed, right?
heh.
