Welcome OP. ONLY thing you need to know if you want to fit in and stick around/be accepted is… DONT ACT LIKE A MIGHTIER THAN THOU DOUCHEBAG, AND DONT STUNT AROUND IN YOUR GRANDMAS CAR IN HOPES TO LOOK COOL.
follow those two rules and you will be fine.
Oh and dont use the word haters, 99% of us her are not black, and only a few members are jacked and tanned… so the vast majority hear “let the haters hate” and call douchbag immediately.
If thats the case, leave it the hell alone, enjoy the 28Mpg, reliable form of clean transportation. Dont fuck with it what so ever. its a giant waste of money. You could drop $3K on that thing and it will still run a mid 13. A $400 civic, $150 motor and $600 ebay turbo kit will mop the floor with it. Just not the right platform to mess with.
Only money well spent on that thing is gas, oil, tires, and brakes. Go to school, respect older wiser people, and get a good job. Then keep the car for a daily, and get a good platform to play with.
another words, learn from my/our mistakes while you still can!
