Let’s get it started in here!
This just means you appreciate racing, brother.
You never go full R the first time.
Turn back now, this comment thread is a wasteland.
Thanks for the warning, but I'm going in anyway!
Windows tinted effectively black, giant wing, and a plate cover they think makes them immune to cameras. Total douche canoe.
Pretty sure the R comes with all of that except the plate cover.
Once, while waiting in line at the DMV (MVA? I forget which states use which acronym), I was behind someone defending their use of plate covers. I don't know much about the person - I only interacted with them long enough to direct them to another line, mainly to get them away from me - but based on everything they said, they might have been the worst (or at least most annoying) person I ever met.
Aren't Civics front wheel drive?
Isnt the back of the car connected to the front?
LOL, yes. But it still helps with stability, aerodynamics, and cornering.
Yes,Ive built serious competition cars for 20 years. I realised I couldnt be fucked getting into an argument on Lemmy about balancing aero.
Oh, I actually meant to reply to the person above you who asked if it's front-wheel drive.
Wings don't work that way.
One of the more disappointing days in my life was when I tried to sit in an R and couldn't get my knees under the wheel. I had wanted one for a very long time.
Went running back to VW and the GLI which works very well for someone whose tall.
My friend bought one. The first time I was in it he wanted to show me how fast it was and how good the shifter was, and he burned the clutch so bad that his garage stunk for a week. I wanted to laugh so badly, but he was so proud of his car, and so worried about the damage he may have caused, that I just acted impressed.
My wife and I went to see Moulin Rouge for our anniversary. We decided we would spend the night after the show at a pretty nice hotel. So we checked in prior to the show. I handed my keys to the valet and she and I checked into our room.
The venue was about three blocks from the hotel so we walked over and back, on the way back I saw my car parked in the side street that ran next to the hotel.
The next morning we checked out, I picked up my keys, walked out the side door of the hotel and opened the door for my wife. "What the fuck is that smell?"
I walked around, and got in the interior smelled awful. Then it dawned on me. The valet didn't know how to drive a stick, and had done his best to fry my clutch.
That was why it was parked so close. He couldn't get it too the garage.
Lol, wow! It's hard to believe someone can drive cars for a living and not know how to drive a stick.
