an AMAZING type-R... kinda long.

So I went to the mall tonight to get a bite to eat and pick up a pair of new glasses... and when I park my car these two asian guys in a silver EX come driving by me. They just stared me down for a minute. Then he drives off and I see what the noise is... his coffee can exhaust and then I notice the big CIVIC TYPE-R badge on the back of his otherwise stock car. He decides to drive up to next to my car after cruising around in 1st for a while and then try to start some stuff. He asks me what model my Civic is (since he couldn't tell by the 7-spoke hub caps) and when I tell him its an EX he tells me his is a Type-R. WTF? So I asked him how he got it here just to amuse him... obviously "imported it from Japan." Then I asked him how he managed to get a type-R with EX hubcaps and what shop did the conversion from the sedan to coupe. Then he just told me I didn't know what the hell I was talking about and got in his car and drove away. Twenty minutes later I'm standing in the line with my friend at Panda Express and the guy walks up to me and tells me how much of a poser I am for eating asian food. Some people just need a good b*tch-slapin'... I was so happy with the lack of ricers in my town, there goes the neighborhood.

Im asian
but d*mn thats a funny story
If you live in Canada that is where the asians are worst. They stare you down like all the time and think they bad and such I think its just stupid
BTW I can't believe they called YOU a poser HAHA when they are the ones with the TYPE R stickers and coffee can exhaust. I think people will do anything just go blend in and be KOOL

yeh i'm an asian too and i find that extremely amusing
you go to chinatown etc, perfectly good cars are ruined by 'over-riceing'
some people just don't understand the meaning of subtle
i don't mind mechanical and performance mods, but when it's just badges and those annoying toys on the dash, you have to wonder.....................

Of course I said a little something back to him (the driver.) But none of it was "site-appropriate."
