I can't believe that the pork in Cali pull you guys over for not wearing a seat belt. Here in Fla they only give those tickets if they pull you over for something else, and then see that you aren't wearing one. I have gotten 2 tickets in the past year for my exhaust though. I drive a 2000 Honda civic with some work, and the pork has it out for me because of the way my car looks. I am almost 30 and don't street race, but because my exhaust and itake and engine have been modified, I always get picked on.

I just have to ask (with all due respect that is), why do people modify a Honda Civic? I mean it's an economy car.

Let me guess, you have all those gauges on the dash, a whale tail on the back, an alledgedly modified exhaust and intake, all on 1.8 liters of motor.

Is it the sound of the exhaust that you like? I do notice the kids love rev'ing up the engine in park, as though they're going to actually attain some sort of speed.

I'd think a more realistic approach would be to actually purchase a high-performance sports car, say Porsche, BMW, Audi, and just leave it alone. The factory knows best.

Just wondering.
