Lmao, can't fault a guy for shooting straight. I guarantee thats how it goes for most everyone, racing or showing. If you're racing, yeah you love doing it and going fast, but I'm sure you also enjoy the following you get if you are fast, or do something different.

What's the "point" of anything? I don't understand the point of HAM Radio; home phones, figure skating, abstract art, postage stamp collecting, killing someone because they don't believe in the same God as you, and thousands of other things.

But speaking of "art" that is pretty much what show cars are to their owners, they are their image of how they (or in some cases their sponsors) think the car should look. Some use show cars to advertise their products or services, others enjoy the competition aspect of it, others just do it for fun.

I still dont get the point of a showcar. Your just wierd if you dont like power and speed and would rather sit there and stare at a fast and furious looking car in your garage.

Dragging your bumper across the gound after HIN doesnt count.

Lets freak out some more. If you're gonna spent more than 10k on a SHOW car, wouldn't you've tried a little harder to get rid of the gap? Regardless if it was rear ended or not.

well its a lil harder when you do all the work yourself to get things perfect... im not gonna go drop money down to have someone else do it...

Quit hating on his car, it's his and he'll do what he wants. I posted this because it's a cool achievement to be featured on that website.

This is true, but what I don't understand is why people keep pointing out the same shit constantly. Its ridiculous.

Probably because it hasn't been fixed yet.

I think you are missing the point dude... not many of us want to own a show car...

i agree %100 why would you dump all this money into something that is gonna spend %90 of its time in a garage and would qualify as a snowplow in the winter.. i ask myself this all the time... but i have alway liked these cars over cars that go down the strip imo. but looks like its doesnt matter what one you do your still gonna spend alot of money. but its kinda cool having hafl naked girls posing on your car a every show. :icon_cheers: so I WIN !!!!

Loose the bodykit, the back bumper doesn't even fit..

thanks captain obvious, if you have ever seen my car in real life everyone and their mom knows my bumper looks like a fat chick wearing a thong... it looks like shit.. but people may not know that this car was rear ended and got fucked.... a factory bumper doesnt even fit that well.
well if i get some time at a body shop i will be repainting it again and will try to fix these things that are wrong with this car..
kinda hard when you never went to school for bodywork but i like learning
and by the looks of it there are gonna be no carshows so i got time... remember this is not a full show car i do drive it as much as i can in the summer and my friends know i do beat on it a bit so the car is not gonna be "perfect" but i dont give a shit about that cause its my hobby and there is nothing better to do in this shit town... just wait till this summer when i get my other 2 projects done then the haters can talk about them instead, cause my civic is getting old.. (maybe i should get a real car with lotsa power then i will fit right in lol!! or a jetta)
