Haha whatever you say. Ignorance is bliss. This ain't my first rodeo.

Oh yea svos are sweet but that's a different story.

I don't know about the Hondas in your town, but around here they back off because they think I'm a crazy redneck that'll f them up good if the screw with me..

Maybe they're right! I'm yet to have to park on some's hood.

Well when they lower them like that it's just too easy!

I'm still coming to terms with my redneck side.

xD Ever heard of Ricekiller? I loathe the site. Don't get me wrong, I can respect a tastefully modified car no matter what it is. At the end of the day we're all doing the same thing. Making our toys prettier, and more functional. I guess it's just the arrogant ****** most of them turn out to be. And I live in the cities, so there's plenty of little kitted Hondas running around.

Things not to say to an XJ owner.

"Why do you keep working on it when there isn't anything wrong with it?
"It is starting to look too much like an off roader"

Theres a guy at my school with a lowered honda civic. he has to do the whole drive to side thing to make it over the speed bumps without rubbing. Im pretty sure lowering a car just ruins its functionality.. but thats just me. I'd rather stick with my nice lifted cherokee

The best part about ricer's is leaving them at stoplights wondering "Did I just get smoked by a mail man?"

Another thing about XJ's is if you're over weight you dont look completely out of place getting in and out of your Jeep. But with ricers it's like the bigger the guy the smaller the cockpit they try to squeeze in. They all remind me of Donkey Kong on MarioKart. lol. Except for the 3'9 guys, then I feel sorry for them that they cant reach the middle shelf like the rest of us.
