Because we like being slow.

  • Anyone who uses the term "ricer" immediately loses all credibility in my book.
  • All the cheap and corny crap you see on Civics (because that's what he was really talking about, right?) can be and is found on Mustangs, Camaros, etc etc.
  • There are a number of reasons young people start out with Civics. I know I'm generalizing but here's a big one: Imagine you're an average parent about to buy your teen his first car. Would you get him a Civic or a Z28?

The reason I personally will always choose an import over a domestic is build quality. I'd much rather have a car put together by someone who enjoys and values his job than some UAW lowlife just counting the minutes until his next smoke break. It's easier to make a Civic fast than it is to make a Camaro not squeak.

... but you really are a ricer?

I think it all boils down to..

kids prefer getting their jollies off beating stock Mustangs and Camaros, rather than actually being fast.

Did you mean to say no domestic sounds better than an Italian V8? I'm sure that's what you meant to say.
