Quote: let me chime in from the younger generation (i'm 22)- sure, i may be an oddball in my generation, but i dislike the rice cars mainly because every teenage boy that has a civic thinks they have a 10 second car - it's just ridiculous. i've worked with a couple guys who (admittedly) drove stock hondas and thought they'd run sub 10 second quarters.
i was actually looking at an evo a few years ago in addition to an srt-4 as a DD - didn't get either. i've had one jap, actually korean, car and it was a 1.5L 5 speed (not much of a car lol), and it was pretty quick off the line, but at about 40, it was done.
it's always been like that- when i was younger i heard about a "nine second pinto" in town, and i got all excited. i wanted the guy- bad. well, i finally track the guy down, and it's got a 2.3 in it. i was very disappointed. everybody runs nines, and everybody always will. the times have changed, but the stories remain.
for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?
