yea i know your just kidding, i laugh at about everything you say about my car lol.. but today i fucking got mad as hell(not you, about 4 people at school).. i had about 4 people at the same time all against me talking shit about my car. ahh it just fucking put me in a bad mood all day. 1 of the people has a stock 95 V6 accord. the other has a 2000 or 2001 stock civic ex showroom car that his parents bought for him(about 20grand car his parents bought for him). and the other one doesnt even have his own car and he was talking about how his dads old stock explorer could beat my car.
damn, it was a pain in the ass trying to defend myself to all of them at the same time.. especially since they don't know anything about cars and i was trying to say my car was being modded strictly for auto-x right now but all they could do was talk about HP.. i asked them how much their car weighed, they were like "it doesnt matter man, my car has 30 more HP than you" or some bullshit liek that. the kid with a civic was like "man you dont even have vtec, u got the shitty dx model, my car would rape you" so i told him to "shut the fuck up, your car has euros.. go cook some rice" and he was speechless for a little bit.. wow i'm writing alot, but it helps to relieve the stress..

oh and to get back on subject, i'd say i have about 2 grand in my car ? soon to be around 3 grand with new rims/tires
i payed for all of that stuff, minus about 500 dollars if u dont count bday/christmas money

edit: it sucks, i dont think theres but like a maximum of 10 people that go to our school that are into cars, not including the ones that graduated last year or the year before that

Default you guys are killing me!

Spent 10,400 on the car + $100 in oil changes. The car runs a mid-high 14 1/4, 0-60 in under 7 seconds and can hold off an M3 on the highway.
Remember...
horsepower sells parts, torque wins races.
