Haha, half the threads were all arguments over Imports vs Domestics and/or Mustangs vs Civics.

What I notice:

The import vs domestic bashing has subsided mostly because domestic manufacturers have totally upped their game in the last 13 years.

Less and less 20 somethings drive, let alone care about cars & modding them. My sister is 9 years younger than me, neither of her boyfriends over the years seemed to care about car culture at all. One drove a stock Ford Fusion, another drives a stock Nissan Altima. Boring.

And now with all the factory options (like factory stainless exhausts) and integrated systems and shit, it's getting harder and harder for a backyard DIY'er to do any meaningful mods.

I'm just glad that the whole Picnic table spoilers, Altezzas and Fireball exhausts on stock Civics CX's fad has blown over.
