I fall into the 37%.
For me, I absolutely loved the EK9 Type R. So one of my first cars after getting my license, was a civic hatch and big plans.
I had planned to paint it CW, 5 lug conversion, engine swap to a B16b or even a B16a2...
So I had bought a 1996 Honda Civic CX.
Purple, didn't matter, was going to paint it.
No A/C, who needs it?
No power steering, the new engine would come with it! Same with the cable clutch
No power doorlocks
No power windows
Not even a rear wiper
I started the "build". CTR lip, CTR spoiler, picked up some rims, put on some sport springs, intake. Then came to the quick realization, as a teenager who didn't have mommy or daddy paying for anything, I had to keep deferring my plans to due to lack of funds. And in the end, I drove a purple civic, with no A/C, no power steering, 100 some-odd HP at the crank... for many years. Were they enjoyable though? Hell yeah. It's true what they say, driving a slow car fast, can be more fun than driving a really fast car slow.
My next car was to be an Audi S7, or maybe even an RS7 if I could find a great deal as in recent years, I had moved onto bigger more comfortable luxury sedans. Then the CTR's became available... In my mind, I've just completed that Championship White build that I started so many years ago
