Website design By BotEap.comYears ago you could find what is now considered a classic on every corner. These days when you stop at a red light you see a Honda, Toyota or some kind of American made car that should say Honda or Toyota! Sure people have changed and for the most part it’s not good for us hot rodders. Young teens used to be excited to bring out the daddy Camaro, Mustang, or Cuda, today they’re excited to bring out the 4-door Civic. In case the youngsters didn’t know, a Honda Civic 4-door is not a fast muscle car, nor will it beat one in the ¼ mile. So what do they do to make their car “faster”? They put a 6″ exhaust tip and fiberglass hood on it and fly around making as much buzz as they can!

Did you know they sell the Cobalt with factory “hop-ups” so you don’t have to do the work of making it look and sound ridiculous? Just look at the Chevy Impala, does that look like an Impala? The only cars GM has that are remotely fast are the Corvette and the GTO, which are way too expensive, and not too bad. I applaud Ford for continuing to make Mustangs and Dodge for bringing back the Charger, but is that all you’ve got? I will never understand Americans who continue to buy these “imports” and spend time working on them, only to make them uglier than they already are and probably slower. I do not intend to criticize anyone, but I did very badly.
