Ha. Nobody but Honda owners wow at Hondas. You may see your pride and joy Civic or Integra that you've spent 10k on modifying, but almost everybody else will see a pensioners' hatchback with ugly wheels. I'm not telling him to modify a flashy car to impress people, not at all. In many ways, he's better off with an Accord than a Civic or an Integra. It's just stupid to throw money away on a sporty engine and a sporty interior when the car itself isn't at all sporty.
