okay, these 2 people were talking about burning out and stuff cause they had their so called "american muscle" cars and i said that my car can burn out pretty well but not really good. so one of them gets pissed off! he tells me "you might be able to PEELout but you cant BURNout"...i didnt know there was a difference!
so then he tells me "you cant even talk in conversations like this cause you have a rice burner you f***er." so then, later, they are talking about how many valves they have in their engines and they both say 2 valves per cylinder and i say "i have 4 valves per cylinder so thats like 16 valves." (not trying to act like my car is better or anything) and the guy gets pissed off again! he's all "no you dont! thats bs." anyway, i tell him im positive because it says right on the engine "16 valves". this just pissed me off very badly. he always talks about how "4 bangers" suck ass. some of them have over 300 hp! plus, he has this crappy $2300 '89 mustang w/a crappy paint job and he thinks his car is sooo much better than mine. he hates all rice burners and i just dont understand how people hate them so much. he knows that i know that his car is faster than mine...but its not slower than **** like he says it is. thank you for listening to my frustration of these kinds of people.

Reliable? So is a sports car if you know what you're doing (And the Supra, no matter what you do it is). Look Good? well that's opinionated. But even if you tried to make that factual, Economy cars were designed with everyday driver in mind, nothing outstanding, radical, or much different at all. When it comes to sports cars, it's the complete opposite. "Lets make it unique, beautiful, give it some heritage". I don't know, to me, and IN MY OPINION, it's apples to oranges. A civic will never send chills down my spine like an Rx7 or z06. Good power? Power requires turbo or displacement, which all Eco4cyllanders lack. What helps when you have little power is to be very LIGHT, which they are, which makes them feel fast, but they aren't fast. With a good engine swap....yes, anything is. But its not how the car came, and in the end that rebuild + cost of surrounding mods/exterior + car could mean a real sports car that came with that power from the factory, and is RWD, beautiful, and tons more fun. So no, I am not dissing eco cars, but I just recognize the place they are meant to be in: Practical everyday cars. "You can't polish a turd" |
