What’s up everyone

Just picked up my PMM the other day and my wife commented that I’m getting too old for something with such a large wing.

I’ve been into Honda’s since 1988 when I had Jackson Racing suspension in my CRX.

I thought I was done til they announced the Civic Type-R was coming to the states and I knew I had to get one!! I’m glad I Did! My BEST Honda yet!

I’m 45 years old and proud!!

Here’s a few pics of my Honda’s from the past.

I’m 35. I’ve been married for 15 years and I know that if you’re wife said you’re too old for the car it means you’re looking younger than her and she’s jealous.

Give me a lower profile wing, and no red seats and I would join this party.

First person I've seen complain about the red seats. Sounds like you just want a different car. All the hate the R styling gets is hilarious to me. I do not once remember anyone in the early 2000s saying "if only they tone down the wing, I'd buy an [Evo, Sti, etc.]"

43 here, and I've heard exactly "If only they took the wing off, or made it smaller, I'd buy [*]" a lot. Hell, I said it a few times until the STi wing won me over from seeing WRXs in Seattle so much, then I wanted one... right before I realized the CTR was out, and pursued it. I hated the large wings for a long time before that, even the crazy one on the old Superbird and the like. In actuality, I hate the smaller worse now, since they freaking get in the way of the rear window view.

Any ways, opinions: people on this forum have also stated comments about the red seats. Everyone is going to have an opinion on everything, and certain things trigger people to love or hate things based on completely different reasons. Honestly to me, it's kind of neat to watch people go through the gamut of "I love this" or "I hate that" about things, but it's the enforcement that people are misguided for having that opinion that makes me shake my head. Sure there's questionable opinions from the viewpoint of our own opinions, and maybe even a majority of people think it's silly, but... :dunno:

P.S.: Not targeting you with my comments above. Your comment was "I think you want a different car" is totally valid though. I think they likely do, and maybe they'll get in in MY19...

Don't get me started on stance though. I become a hypocrite quickly (losing basic driving functionality of a vehicle doesn't seem right, auuuugh!)

I don't mind people not liking the car. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. What gets me is the random people I meet in parking lots that make a point to come over to me in my Type R and point out that "[they] would own one" if not for _____.

The Type R seems to elicit a sort of jealousy which makes people feel the need to justify the fact they don't have one.

But then it wouldn't exactly be a CTR party :)
