I said this one the other night to the grand disapproval of my sport compact buddies:

"Speed freaks and outlaws made hotrods, pizza delivery boys in a hurry made sport compacts."

Well, I don't drive one of them, so my opinion may be worthless. (Heck, it may be worthless anyway) These kids doing this are just hopping up what is available to them. How many can afford a '69 mustang or camaro? Or, the gas to run one? Insurance is probably not too bad on an accord? At least they're not selling drugs or assembling for al-qaida.

True, but I still can't bring myself to drive something without C channel rails running under the length of it.


And I also don't see the point in pouring money into a car that should be thrown away when it runs out of gas.

Good point camo, for me its just the attitude they have when they do cosmectic stuff and they think their car is unstoppable and insanely fast with a sticker or two. They just talk to much trash and dont back it up. -William

Most of them (around here anyways) are just decoration. The motor is stock. however there was a guy here in Maine who just dumped 10 grand into his car. To each his own I guess.
