Because you've driven them all...

I think he's commenting on the lack of expressive vocabulary.

I love that 635 CSi. I was looking at a couple of mint examples on a website, you can pick up spotless examples for relatively little money.
 
Some normal sized slicks would have done the trick as well, but yeah.
Normal sized wheels and tires don't offer the high final drive ratio of those tiny ones, giving the car a massive acceleration boost with negligible traction loss, both of which are very important in the short bursts between corners on an autocross course. Also, welcomed reduction in unsprung weight from the wheels and tires.

I'm glad he didn't put bigger wheels/tires on the front like some people do. In my opinion thats a last resort for when the mechanicals of your car simply won't do what you want them to do.

I thought the question was "How do you make a Civic pull a G?"
 
I agree. Gold or copper would be awesome. That yellow is just too much for the car, imho.

Well for a gold paint style, they could just use yellow 'candy' paint and for copper...maybe iridescent paint?

That's what I thought when I first looked at the pics (despite those being LED's), but the rest of the car is pretty cool, imo.
 
I haven't seen neon lights for a LONG time.
They might be stock, actually. Some high-enders like that have them to light up the ground when you get near with their fancy not-a-key key. But I don't know why he'd keep them on all the time--I'm sure Mercedes's intent was not to entice ricerdom.
 
As much as I despise rice when it comes to cars, I have never been able to hate neons and I have no idea why.
 
Funny thing is, with in 15 minutes of walking out of the Airport down here, I saw two Civics go by with with green under body glow. I kid you not.

Were they going to hijack a semi?
I hate neons, but I can't help thinking they're awesome whenever I see them. Just like I hate Soulja Boy and most other mainstream rap, but love 'Kiss Me Thru the Phone'. Damn catchy retarded songs...:ouch:
 
Ah yes, that's what they're called. They probably came stock on that Benz, though I don't think they would have been blue.
I don't know. I've seen them on a white TL, and they looked pretty nice. I thought about them, but the blue-white doesn't match my color.
