HA! I have you all beat! I mod a Saturn! FWD plastic turd. I think its between a Honduh and a neon. Neons are horrible death traps.

But seriously, I dont spend hundreds of $$ on it. I play with things, and make my car a bit more entertaining to drive. After all, it is plastic.

Well, I must admit. I’ve never been to one of the local parking lot meats…except once for the Panera Bread/coffee meet. Now that was “cool”. Ah well.

haha No hurt feelings. I don’t think you’re capable of that. 🍺

So you’re saying a Sky and a Genesis coupe \< a neon? Now I know you’re crazy.

And this pretty much ends the debate for me:

Do modded fwd cars suck? Imo, not necessarily. I can appreciate any well modded and non hacked cars.

With that being said, would I ever mod a fwd car when there are so many other cheap rwd platforms out there? Nope.

^^^^  
lols.

I was generally speaking, there will always be a couple exceptions…

newer hondas are bloated, and camaros have a solid rear so neither is desirable to me.

neither that model civic is heavy and underpowered

i personally like my civics/integras… i can afford to make them “mine” and not lose any money at all on them, in fact i have made money on most of my cars in the past couple of years and yet to lose any money

how much money will you lose when you sell your car newman?

financially for what i get with a civic/ integra it is worth it, if you know what your doing you can build a very capable civic for around $5,000 that will most likely beat 90% of the cars on road for an all around daily/autocross/ drag car

UGH. Shit is so fucking lame. And I love the excuse of “well i dont have much money, its cheap” THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU MODDING CARS ANY WAY. Dont get me wrong ive been there as well, but it seems like daily i get a laugh at how stupid it really was, and how much money i wasted (which isn’t so funny) There are a handful of high dollar FWD purpose built cars that hold there own, but shitty street cars built by kids in wny are anything but that.

yeah, if you include cost of car into the 5,000, i’ll fucking RAPE a honda down the drag strip with an old school small block car.

nobody gives 2 shits about autox except for people who play forza, speeding in a parkinglot is NOT FUCKING RACING.

I love hondas and acuras, for 40mpg dailys that cost like 15 cents to maintain, they are not race cars, and shouldnt be attempted to be fast.

No, but it doesn’t surprise me they were too cheap to spring for Nissan parts.
