LMAO. Haha. How do ricers give the car community a bad name though?

...

There are many reasons, but without going into details and insulting somebody, I will leave it at that.

This is how I see it, you can make a fast Honda for very little money, but in the end, you still have a Honda. Even if you have a nice Honda people still just see it as a Honda, there is this bad cloud that follows them, its a shame because they are decent cars.

A Supra on the other hand, with the correct amount of money and time can be the nicest thing on the road, and people will respect that. The only problem is that the Supra is sometimes abused and it takes a lot of money to get them to a point where you can be worry free.

So its up to you, I my self would have a Honda as a gas saver, and the Supra as my car, lol.

like chambers said, it all depends on how much money you are willing to dish out. supra's are a money pit because everything is expensive, unlike the honda

I still don't understand what's so bad about having a Honda. Like, what's the "bad cloud" that follows them? I'm jw.

Let`s put it this way...
If u own a Supra, you have a sport`s coupe, if you have a CRX, you just have a small car.
A supra gives you a certain status, a crx... there are so many small cars out there...
I myself do not agree with those that want the smallest car with the biggest engine. I want to look good in that car too. Otherwise I would have get myself a renault 5 or something.

If your seriously asking whether you should buy a Supra or a CRX....just get the CRX.

Don't get me wrong, theres nothing bad about owning a Honda, its just the typical owners are the "bad cloud" and a general profile for a Honda owner is not the best one.

I admire the style of a CRX, if I chose to put money into a Honda I would chose the CRX.

I had an 89 CRX SI with the B16A Swap. The car was quick (Keyword being quick), but that was $3000 plus the cost of the car. Then I would have to dump another $3000-$4000 to make it faster with a turbo kit (Custom). At that, the car was now fast, but any factory stock turbocharged car that had an intercooler and boost upgrade either wiped me or I gave it a good run. Now I have a 91 Supra Turbo that has about $1500 worth of work and it's way faster than my crx was. Especially up top. The CRX was a killer off the line, but had nothing after 110. The supra is a beast around those speeds. By the way, you wanna buy mine?
