> It’s really up to the owner of the car and what they like. Cavilier, Civic, 240, Skyline, Neon, and RSX can be made to sounds like shit. But the person who owns the car must like it. and body kits pretty much are the same way. I dislike them for the most part. But than there are people who love them.

I agree.

Not everyone likes it. I definately do not, but if you really think about it, would you bad mouth or think badly of a person because they walk around with black lipstick, a mo-hawk and black painted nails? It’s discrimination and a car is nothing but what someone wears. Just like a Hijab (Female Head Scarf) that signifies not only their religion, but the group of believers they belong to. Do you think badly of someone that wears a Hijab?

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms says, Section 2, Subsection B, “ **Everyone has the fundamental freedom of** thought, belief, opinion and **expression** , including freedom of the press and other media of communication;”

To further that, I’m not sure of the Cavalier, and I didn’t read all the cars, but the Neon has cars, sponsored by Mopar that are equipped as racecars. They endorse the car in races and equipped in racing form. You said that these cars are not meant to be modified, but the Neon was, and many others were from the factory as well. Dodge even made a light weight SX2.0 with nothing but a radio and a turbo charged engine that was the second fastest car in the Dodge lineup for a short year. Meant for the racetrack but sold on the streets. There are cars out there that are fast but were never put in the spot light like that.

I’m sure that a bunch of Ferrari/Lamborghini guys look at us and think exactly the same thing. If you saved for a few more years you could actually own a REAL sports car. Why would you waste your time not driving a Ferrari??? It’s not about saving and it’s not about whether it’s a Ferrari or not. It’s personal taste and attainability.
