A couple weeks ago, my friend sent his "weekly-review" email. This time it was about the Import Car Show-off he attended at the Cow Palace, San Francisco. Since he was convinced that these cars actually look good, he asked everyone for their opinion about fixing up his fairly new Honda Accord. As a good friend, I told him my opinion. And as good, smart person, he took my advice. So I thought I should share my response to all who are considering turning into "rice-rockets". And for those racers out there, please don't be offended.

Hey J-DOGG! I just wanted to answer a late survey to your question about fixing up your car (if it's not too late). DO NOT DO IT! Fixing up your car means turning into a racer and racers become conceited! I'm telling you, plus it's gonna cost a grip load of money and all you'll be working for is making your car more unique than everyone elses. It's just like girls...you don't like the the materialistic ladies because the REAL beauty is it's natural beauty. The stock type car is the way to go, (the way you bought it, ya know?) If you're making the attempt to "fix it up", make it subtle. Make it so that when someone looks at your car, they can say, "Hey that car looks really nice, but what did he do to it?" And DO NOT add any type of racing neon stickers. Not even little ones because one sticker (besides bumper stickers), declares you "one of them." If you're doing this to impress the ladies (or guys in some cases), the only ladies you'll attract are the hoes (or scrubs) who want you for your money, body and because you have a fancy car to show off to their friends. If you're gonna add excess to your car, you might as well just save up for a better looking car. Like a 95 Mazda RX-7 (right on!)...hehe. Now THAT's beauty. But hey, if you really wanna do this to your car because YOU want to, then go for it. But that was just my opinion. Michelle
