A rant about *Preludes* (SC-related)
I'm going to snap pretty soon. So, I just have to ask my fellow members if this bugs the hell out of them too.
On occasion, I will meet some *badass* kid and his _sick_ ricer. You know who I'm talking about. It's the kind of kid that can only grow facial hair on 40% of his face, wears his pants at his knees (no, I'm not kidding), and put a cat-back on his mom's old Malibu and hence gets the self-image that he's awesome. These are the people that think they know what they're talking about, just because their friend, that probably looks exactly like him by the way, bought some bushings and a "OMG Type-R!!1" short shifter on eBay.
I'll meet one of these wise guys, uhhh, about every 2 or 3 months. And they always say the same thing. And I hope none of my fellow Club Lexus members have had to endure this... Here it is:
Anyway, thanks for listening. It's just happened one too many times, and it finally pushed me over the edge. People always say Prelude, and I don't know why. I'm not knocking the Prelude, it's a pretty good car, but c'mon.
slash-rant.

*Sigh* By the way, thanks, asshat. That's why I ask, "Was kind of car did you just drive in to the lot?" before I start rambling about how cool my whip is.

i'm not sure i follow completely... are you suggesting that people reffer to the SC as "preludes"? ...if you are generally complaining about the general "ricers" out there, then AMEN TO YOUR RANT!!! i am actually a big honda enthusiast, i build my own stuff, and do it RIGHT. i hate to be categorized (by the fact that my car is fairly loud and is a CIVIC) as "one of them..." when i don't ever street race or do fly-by's or hang out in parkinglots at night doing burnouts and revving my motor - i despise that crowd.
in conclusion, because of the stereotype image of ricers, i will be selling my lovely built honda (400whp) and dumping the money into my SC

time for some mods man .if you dont have a 97+sc or your car dont have at least rims .people are even gonna take it for a escort. from your sic pic you car looks like a ricer car too not be be rude or anthing .but putting exhaust on a stock sc and lowering it is kinda close to the rice

So your saying that 90% of the SC owners on this board are ricers? Practically every SC owner loves the stock body and wants to keep it that way. Ricers are ones that have outrageous bodykits that just ruin the lines of the car.
