sorry had to vent a little. When I got my 240 coupe people would like feel sorry for me because I didn’t get the all mighty hatchback. “cool you got a 240. awwwwww too bad its not a hatchback….” – friends

however, i suppose that i'm a wee bit ricer at heart (as fas as form over function) because i just actually like the lines of the hatch. i like the way the roofline plunges down toward that sexy rounded ***.
but that's just me.
however, on the flip side, i prefer the look of the AE86 coupe over the hatch. go figure...?

him:"yea thats pretty kool.., to bad its not a fastback cuz then if you did the front end conversion it would be a silvia." me: "huh?"
him: "yea the coupe is sumthin else in japan only the fastback is the silvia." me: :riiight. :me and my buddys laugh: more like the coupe is a silvia and the fastback is a 180sx." him:" oh yea thats what i thought it was." so my buddy askes "so what do you drive?" him: acura integra ls-r v-tec." thinks to self (they never made an ls-r let alone a ls with vtec.) so we go out to check out our cars and his is an auto ls with a big *** muffler on it and under the hood he had a short ram intake on a NON-vtec engine.
me n my buddys keep our mouths shut. so we go to look at mine and i tell him its totally stock and he wants to see under the hood cuz he thinks im lying so i show him its totally stock. what does he say........oh i could totally take you.......tipical honda driver.

i think everybody had to deal with people like that. everybody that sees my car (totaly stock by the way) thinks i'm a drifter. it's so hard to explain to some people that drifting isn't my thing. then they go on saying its fast like in initial d or some other theory that cooked up in their ricer brain. i usually try to change the subject and let them ramble on about their car or racing stories, it's just easier that way...
