i think there's a lot of animosity against japanese sport compacts, period. I can see why. There are enthusiasts in our crowd. And then there's this ridiculous subsection of a group that doesn't know when to say when. they overmod their cars with really loud exhausts and cheap ass parts. their cars look like shit. they sound like shit. their drivers drive like shit. I have this one jerk who whips around my neighborhood in a late 90's eclipse, with a grapefruit launcher, LOUD ebay looking muffler. this guy's probably in his mid 20's and still thinks it's ok to wide-open throttle his NA slow ass car up and down my streets. if I were a shortsighted redneck who had to witness that like I do everyday, I'd probably stare daggers at every civic, RSX, and teg I saw. unfortunately we're all lumped together. just read the comments posted on Streetfire beneath all the SCC videos. It's like a nasty race war, except its domestics vs imports. Some of the BS each side says is just flat out retarded.
