Blue MP3 in north fargo

I agree, the movie is to blame for most of those ricers out there. But this era has been around much longer than that. But the one thing that came out of the movie that has helped everything is the fact that it has helped to boost the sales of aftermarket parts for this era, Would the Focus be where it is now without those movies and the damand for the parts???? and yes, im talking about a lot of these high end versions of the cars, like the SVT, STI, SI, Type-R/S, R32, and many other versions of every car out there. But we all are entitled to our own opinion. Mine is mainly based on experience working on the bastards. Like I said in another post, I'd work on a Honda over a ford anyday. I did forget to mention that I dont make money on Honda's, I make them on Chryslers, Fords, and GMs, because I'm repairing them every single day. I will admit one thing though, I dont know if my next car will be a Honda or a Toyota.....Because I rarely see them in my shop, only for tires/and other maintence things....rarely any repairs.

And whats wrong with ford? At least everyone and their brother doesnt own a ford, and at least the whole ricer following isnt based off of ford. Thank you honda for retarted wings, bodykits, and all the ricers in the world.
arent you teh same guy looking for a HONDA crx? -
Yeah I am... im just stating a fact. Honda's are renowned for their rice.
I havent had anything majorly mechanical go wrong with my car in 30,000 miles of hard hard driving. Only big problem to date is my slipping clutch, and SVT has admitted to their fuck up... there was a problem with assembly and the plate that engages the clutch causes unusually fast wear to the clutch. SVT is replacing the clutches with a much better clutch for anyone having these problems.
I have had worse luck with crystler and gm... every vehicle I have owned from them has blown up or had some other major problem. 1990 jeep cherokee limited = blown headgasket, 1988 dodge daytona = blown head gasket, 1992 olds achieva = blown headgasket, 2001 jeep wrangler = every major seal in transmission, transfer case, and differentials rotted out and leaking fluids due to sitting in the lot for 6 months.
My dad had a 2004 dodge ram that in 1yr and 50kmiles he put in 3 transmissions, 2 front rack and pinions, and 3 power steering pumps. I guess thats why dodge offers a decent warranty... they know their products are shit.

hondas are "renowned" for their low maintence, low cost, high reliability, low depreciation, great power with a smaller engine, and great gas mileage. not for ricers doing ricey things to them. just like my bank told me when i was looking for a car, they'd rather give me a loan for this car over a focus......DOESN'T DEPRECIATE AS MUCH. And so you know, the 3rd best car i ever owned was a ford.....91 merc tracer...had it for 2 years before the tranny went out.
order of cars that were best for me..
- acura rsx
- honda civic
- merc tracer
- buick century
- olds calai (beat the shit out of this one...my first car!!!)
- eagle talon
Im a car guy, I work on them for a living...I appreciate them all, i just know a lot of their flaws since i have to deal with them all the time. MY OPINION.

I guess thats why honda doesn't need a decent warranty...theres dont fall apart and need replacement as often. THEY know their products are the shit.

My point exactly.
