But seriously you didn't expect criticism???...... it's the internet, and it seems you have chosen an odd forum to post this on to expect praise.
I just posted it in the photography section cause a photo of mine got published.. I am sorry I didnt forsee the reactions lol

If i was to make the choice id much rather have the neon srt4, but congrats on the cover page and your uncles have nice cars. But the fact that you work on your own **** and bought a car just to be a autox car makes you win in my book. Pretty cool that you have thick skin too.
Believe me, I kinda see what you mean. I get that all the time. I know the car weighs a lot, I know if I turn off traction control it loves to spin, etc. I got the car cause neons are beer cans in accidents. It fits what I need. Safer, nicer, more practical, and happens to be quicker than my old neon was.

thanks though. at least you can see what im trying to do with the lil POS neon lol

really? cause I always thought neons looked like giddy lil retarded children. Specially second gens being all cross eyed and what not. lol

The fact that the Caliber has a manual trans. doesn't save it. sorry.
I'm aware when they started/stopped r/t-10s.

Your point?

oh oh so... now come the indirect "youre ugly" comments. wooo lets get this party started... move on from the cars to the owner.

family includes uncle I guess, but it seemed random to pick uncle out of every family member you could. I still don't really get the joke.

you drive a Caliber. are you seriously attempting to make fun of how a neon looks?

anyway, I personally thought they were aggressive looking in STR4 trim. but then again, I knew a few guys who had really fast skittles so my opinion is skewed.

that was indirect?

technically not. it's just got some tonal editing. Kinda makes it look like one.

I can make fun of a neon all I want... I mean you do, so why not? My old neon and the one on jackstands are both gay *** cars. Gay meaning happy and most likely pretty homosexual depending on who is driving lol They were never meant to be "tough" looking if you havent figured that out.

The SRT trims are always more aggressive looking than base models.
The CSRT still holds to that. It may be a bread box/toaster, but its more aggressive looking than a rounded little skittle ever could be.

yeah, it was. Those sort of indirect comments are usually made by the guys who arent exactly good looking themselves. Makes them feel better.

Congrats! If it makes you feel better, my first car was a first gen neon and my first tuner car was a second gen neon. I know I'll get flamed for admitting this

Your confused? So am I. Since the rt/10 stopped in 02 and the srt division was created in 03 I'm just trying to figure out when the srt/rt-10 model you spoke of was made???

This is like you arguing that a GT-R variant isn't aggressive because the Skyline version (32,33,34) it is based off of is a family car. it doesn't hold up.

The SRT trims are always more aggressive looking than base models.
I didn't realize that. wow.

They both went out, spent a fortune for climate control in their garages, even tinted the windows in their garage to limit the amount of sun that is let in. They are older gentlemen, so I can understand the superstition, but they are both excellent body workmen. Dad's cousin rarely orders out for interior parts, he just orders in the leather and stitches it for the seats, panels, etc. He's the kind of guy that spends $1,000 for a quart of paint, so go figure. I think he's building a Chevelle SS right now, got a crate engine from Merkel in Jersey last month. He's a Chevy guy, but my Uncle is a Ford guy.
