are friendly on the road?

like, i know my civic is the brightest one of its kind in the city, it gets alot of attention, too much at times, but other citizens that are driving around in their old civic's and crx's wave or toot their horn and smile. i swear all the civics in my area know my car, they toot their horn when they drive by my place everyday.


but the people that drive the newer civic's...... are a totally different story. they are usually 18-25 year old boys with their hats on backwards, underwear showing, clear taillight having, parkbench wing sporting, fart cannon buzzing, mean muggin (huge attitude) frontin assholes.


those are the guys trying to streetrace with me everyday, they will cut people off and menace me with their car while honking their horn and flashing their lights at me trying to get me to do rolling races in rush hour traffic. to which i usually give them the toots on the horn to go and i pull down the nearest sidestreet while they take off flying down the road alone......



us owners of the older gen honda's are just nicer people i think.

I noticed that when I was going on my trip last weekend. But the non modified civics were nicer than the modded ones. Dunno, must be something though, because if I drive my prelude, I get thumbed up, by other prelude owners. Diffrent strokes I guess.

i noticed that about jeep drivers too they will ~ALWAYS~ smile and wave at you and give you right of way etc. "It's a Jeep Thing"

but yeah, modded newer civic drivers are ....... trying to hard?

[kacivic]

i got the same thing from mustang drivers in my old mustang, but in my teg it's mostly just people wanting to race... just immaturity i guess.

My wife says that BMW and Mercedes Benz drivers are assholes on the road. She always gets cut off by them. I guess that's what new Honda drivers get when they get older.

You see old CRXs and Civics?

I never see them... Being in the rust belt, they must have all rotted away...

[RARECRX]

yeah even In northern cali I have never seen OLD crx's driving around?? XIPHERS Is the only one I have seen In a looong time driving. I drive the freeway every day to school 1 hour each way and to this day have not seen another 1g crx? 3g civics I have. but not 1g's..

i see old crx's from time to time...i have seen 3 different stramans on the road here in san diego...all were nice

[pvbcrx]

Concur! I see 1Gs fairly often here in [relatively rust-free] Northeast Florida; not so many 3Gs for some reason. No matter the age of the drivers, they seem darned friendly on the road.

The guys in the newer Civics go zoomin' around, and I can't help but think, "Oh, sure, it's EASY to get aftermarket parts for your car, try getting stuff for a 20-yr old CRX!"

[crxls]

i think the reason for the older people driving these older honda's being friendly is because for #1, they are older and more mature, and for #2 in order to have something this old you have to have a reason, they are most likely an enthusiest with a passion for these cars.

the most ignorant drivers on the road are GM brand SUV's. the bigger the it is the more ignorance. no matter where i am in my crx i get GM brand SUV's that feel the need to ride my ass and pass and cut me off for no reason. i can be traveling at 80 MPH and they still have to pass and cut me off even if it's double yellow lines, i guess just make a point? the thing is, whats was the point made?....that your an ass hole?

i see so many 1/3G on a daily basis. probably 4 or 5 on average.

Ding, ding, ding!! This is exactly the reason why I drive my 3G like an 80-year-old woman. EDM headlights and JDM corners don't just grow on trees, ya know.

Another group that fits into the worst drivers category is H2 and H3 drivers.

DSM drivers in this area are pretty cool to other DSM drivers. Probably because they need to have a ride home when their car breaks down.

watch the pattern.

crxls - I'm always surprised by the number of 1G/3Gs in your area of PA, my wife's from York so we're up there every so often. She used to own an 86 CRX DX, but traded it on a slushbox Accord before we met. Regrets it to this day....losing the CRX, that is, not meeting me!

Airgazm86 - Roger that - I see sh*t falling off a truck in front of me, and I have visions of smashed EDM headlights and clear corners dancing in my head.

At least you dont have the problem like this!! >>etmydst lives in BEAT UP RICER CENTRAL OF ALL OF THE UNITED STATES<<<< I will bet my bottom dollar you will not find more ricers than central cali/ bay area just look at CRAIGSLIST.org sfbayarea and type in honda.. youll see..

I'll be driving my CRX at 65-70 MPH (when I do drive it) , then all of a sudden this BEAT UP ricer, primered , bouncing off the stops, APC stickered out riceboy slows then try's to engage me in a speed contest revving and downshifting next to me WTF, happens like 3 times on the way back from school.

I just LAUGH and let them jock my mugens, and my dentless, shiny red paint that they wish they had..

funny thing Is all the OLD people driving give me thumbs up all the time, probably a first time seeing a NICE TAstEFUL honda in central cali for once.
