i recently emailed that maddox guy about his article on civics, cuz i thought he had the wrong idea about all car enthusiasts....i thought id share my point with the GTP community as well.






Hey Maddox,
I have just discovered your site today and man o man is it ever sweet. I felt obligated to write you and tell u how ****ing sweet it is. Great site!

However, your article on Civics and why people waste money on modifying cars like those....kinda passed you off with a general hate towoardst car enthusiasts.
I personally agree with the article, and i DESPISE all of the lameass honda owners around here thinkin theyre all this and that with there little V-TECS.
I am a savvy impot car enthusiast myself, however i do not fall in the same category as these people do, and id just like to share how theres 3 types of "car enthusiast".

First you have the " N00b/t00l Honda Owner" basically any sport compact car owner, (civic, tiburon, miata, lancer, eclipse....list goes on..) And this person follows tv, follows movies like The Fast and The Furious, and thinks that a grocery-getter civic can run 10.5 at the local 1/4 mile cuz it has a APC air filter on it . And that said car can get all the honeys at the local "joint", and of course he could "smoke any V8 that came across his territory"
This guy thinks he all this and all that yeah....and sure u have the same kinda guy with the 98 Integra Type-R that actually does have a 180hp engine, but at the same time thinks he owns the streets cuz his car has i-V-TEC. Yet his driving and shifting skills are severly lacking and therefore causes him several speeding tickets along the way to the local Theatre.
Too many of these people exist...and it pisses me off the chain!!!

note: 3am im too tired to spell correctly i wana go to bed so ill just type like this....)

anyways, i go to high school, grade 12, and all these kids i know, are all impressed by the "mighty civic Si" ahh it fuken pisses me off how these kids either buy, or get there parents to buy $5000-$8000 dollar cars, when theyre a)thinking "yeah ill have a sick ass honda man ill be soo cool"
b) actually not knowing jack **** about cars let alone what a camshaft is, and c) actually getting ripped off cuz an 89 civic CRX Si actually isnt worth $7500cdn (as one of my schoolmates recently had his father purchase for him). When if they actually knew **** theyd a)know what a nissan 240sx is and see its actually a car meant for driving fast etc etc(rear wheel drive **** like that)
b)knew that bodykits and type R stickers dont make them go any faster.

me being a rash, impulsive person that i am, decided to put these people in there places, so i threw out a few comments that got me into this huge arguement about cars and why hondas suck......point is i PWNED them at the end and they shut up, cuz im wayy to smart when it comes to cars.......

the fact is my dad's 2003 Pontiac Sunfire 4door base model has helped me put in place all these fags with there ovedone ricers.....its funny really how 12 grand on a base model car can beat 10 grand cars with 3 or 4k put into them.maybe if they put that 3 grand into the motor where it counts, then they could talk ****.....sad really. these people i constantly have a hate for and laugh at.

so what does this all have to do with ur article??
well the other 2 types of car enthusiast are, me types, and the "conneseurs" which are rich old men that collect them out of passion.
but lets get at the me type, wich i classify as the non-dumbarses.
yes, we buy civics, and we buy integras....but we buy them cuz we know what they acutally are..i for one stick to rear wheel drive 4 cylinders like the nissan 240sx....anyways, people like us "mod" there cars, yeah we tint our windows, yes we have a bodykit here and there, yeah we make our engines sound loud...but what makes us different is that we realise either u mod ur car for a)looks, or b) speed, and "horsepower costs money, how fast can you afford to go" ties in....
to mod a car with both looks, sound system, and motor, all on top of a car that already costs 10k, ud have to be pretty well off in the yearly income department, definetly something NO high skool grad could afford...
see we have our cars, and sure theyre fast, 180, 250hp, and sure they look nice...but where do we use them???? on the track, or on the strip...u wont see us pulling up to you and challenging you to a race at a traffic light....cuz were not ****ing tools of modern fads.......we are not n00bs. we are quiet, and we try to stay away from stupid higway maneuvers and life threatening speeds for no reason. we have the same kinds of cars as these other n00bs do, and yet we laugh at them when they revv there engines next to us at a stoplight.

so, id just like to say....dont hate on us car enthusiasts cuz we soup up cars that arent race cars...........hate on the ones that dont know **** about what theyre doing and go kill innocent people cuz they think that they're paul walker in 2f2f and the car can easily handle a posted 80kmh turn at 160kmh.........**** them, theyre the ones making people like me look bad, theyre the ones that are causing the cops to have prejudice against us cuz our car is from japan and its lowered so it automatically means that were iditos like those ****ing assholes.
we have a passion for cars, and that is why we modify them, these fad following fags are a total different breed....theyre just following what the tv and movies is showing them whats cool.

thats my 2 cents.
thanks

Zamataki, thy name is Modesty!

A case of inadvertantly proving Maddox's point, eh?

on the internet, who cares about grammar?
 
You seriously sent that to him? Without even running it through a spell checker?

Hate mail or not, i suspect he'll have a field day with it.

You need to have an adult read something like this before you send it out. By writing like you did you appear as less than a newbie, you sound more like an idiot.

I don't often side with Ghost C, but I will on this one. If/when you get a reponse fro Maddox, Please post it.

More people than you even think. With only the written word in front of me to base a description of you on, it's not likely a good one. At what point do you realize that people of all ages use the internet? And some of us use it for more than play?

Would you post a resume on Monster.com written like that? I'm not saying that everything must be letter perfect and one step shy of a masters thesis, but when you send a letter to a well known person wishing to impress them, this is not how you do it. If Maddox even takes the time to read it before discarding it, you'll be the butt of more than a few harsh reprimands.

I can't wait to see him exquisitely humiate you with your own words. We'll all have to keep an eye out and post it right here in this thread when it happens.

Try this: Who cares about grammar on the internet?

Answer: I do.
 
Never send anything to maddox. If you feel you must - do it from a friend's e-mail. I love reading his responses to the e-mails he receives.👍
 
What's wrong with Civics? You know not all Civic owners are ricers.

Hmm... lsk8er.. That Civic's actually not too overdone.. Looks pretty nice.
 
Many of them aren't overdone, Civics can be quite nice actually.

Oooh! :bowdown: JDM! JDM! JDM! :bowdown:
 
Hmm... Well.. Yeah.. It's true... All cars can be overdone.. subtle body kits, a GOOD lowering job *for actual performance reasons* and a small spoiler makes the cars nice to me.
 
I don't even think maddox is going to read your email; he will probably delete it for two reasons:

1) Old topic, he usually resopnds to recent stuff. He dealt with the "Civic" almost 2 years ago.

2) It's completely unreadable, and too long.

Now, hasn't reading up on his site told you anything? He hates people that abuse grammar and spelling. He hates and makes fun of everything, and that's his schtick. Whether it's intentional or not, it's fun to read his site for a while because it's about laughing at yourself, not for those who take everything so god-damned seriously.

Everyone tends to disagree with him at some point, and that's called having an identity.
 
It's at times like this that I hope people who go on and on about ricers and how much they hate them try racing one in his Civic, and get blown into the weeds. Or if the ricer loses, it would also be amusing. It's like watching a wasp land on a stinging nettle; someone's going to get stung and I just don't care (yes, that was a plagiarised Terry Pratchett quote)

Woo Hoo!

I live in my own place,
have never copied nobody even half,
and at any master who lacks the grace
to laugh at himself—I laugh. - Good Ol' Fritz again

Yes, I also enjoy them too.

I do enjoy the one about the caps lock issue and the jock. :)

Do you have any idea what that word even means?

What, plagiarize? Means to take and use someone else's thoughts/writings/ideas/whatever as you own. I had to guess a bit at the spelling.

Or if you ment ricer then everyone seems to have their own opinion on that.
 
Thanks for the link Akira. I can understand how he got the idea that Civics eclipses etc have no performance potential but its entirely incorrect.
 
If that blue Civic had the wheels off the red one then it would look a thousand times better. *cough* Photoshop *cough*.
 
Ha Ha speaking of "street racer" I saw a show on MTV(actually for me it was ch. 26 because I don't get cable) They did a Report on Street racing like the one that Diane Sayor(sp?) did and on another new station. There all idiots, even the cops are idiots! Then at the end they give a sob story of how "oh damn my friend died from that ****". :lol:
