god some months ago i had a conversation with a friend, a campaign watcher about esseks (future) adaptation and when i mentioned my fears about it based on the promotion material they casually said they didnt even think essek was evil in the first place and proceded to give 2 or 3 vague arguments that would get a lawyer's licence revoked and i never felt more insane in my fucking life i felt so alone i looked around and everyone was knitting scarfs and cooking muffins and being Bad Bois and it was so dark.

sorry i just needed to get that out of my chest

I do not believe that any modification ever could make a Honda civic 'cool'

I want your opinion on this

I think I can find a way to squeeze out some mental gymnastics by which I can technically agree. Oh, I've got it!

There's a stock EG Civic I see around sometimes, and it's the most basic spec that can be found - not the rarer, imperceptibly better looking facelifted model, not equipped with any cool option nor modification nor even alloy rims, preserved too poorly to be mint and not poorly enough to be heroic. Exactly like this picture I found looking up "civic" in a used car ad aggregator and sorting by cheapest.

And every time I see it I go "Civic! :D", like in one of my main's greatest posts.

Maybe the surprising rarity of hatchbacks of this generation is a factor (though local popularity hasn't quelled my fondness of Suzuki jeeps), but whatever the case, one arguably cannot modify that Civic in a way that makes it cool to me, per the logic by which something cannot become what it already is.

But regarding the intended meaning of "Civics aren't cool cars and no modification could make them such", well, not only could we be touching their bare metal and still not have a common ground (It's an electrics pun. It's devastating. You're devastated right now.), I disagree so hard that I am willing to go over every Civic and not just show a cool modified example, but even argue that the factory itself churned out something cool.

That's right. I'm doing a SERIES. That's how wrong you are.

Note for the poor-watersporting audience: Just because I'm not the type to cowardly shield myself from criticism by rattling out "i personally believe"s and "in my opinion"s doesn't mean I have the delusion to be dishing out statements of fact. Assertive statements the likes of the line above are to be taken as the friendly jest they are. Someone beat you to taking it seriously anyway, and community feedback about it was starkly negative.
