[s-cars] Rice Rockets and parking lots...

[Dan Bertram]

I must say that I'd rather BE fast than LOOK fast.  That goes for other
aspects of performance as well.  Stealthy and understated is something I've
always enjoyed:  I could be driving a BMW for example, but I'm not.  I find
there are a lot of 'poseurs' that like to make their cars look "riced-out",
but besides a new tailpipe, a slammed suspension (lower is not always
better!), and shiny rims, they haven't actually done anything.  That 100 was
a perfect example.  Brutal.

When anyone actually climbs into one of those cars, even with the BIG add-on
gauges, it's still a Civic.

Besides, the ladies I'd actually WANT to meet in parking lots (being
single), are the ones in the parking lots of ski resorts where a UrS car can
(and has on numerous occasions) made others look entirely foolish in their
choice of vehicle.

well...
