We are the TCM. I might be broken, but at least I can still drive.

So true.

The only real difference is frames 2 and 4. You gotta push it hard to get going in 2, and then do it all over again in 4. Still, I love my little crapbox. Early stoplight mistakes mean my clutch made it sound like a popcorn machine at idle. Still a trooper, though.

If a Focus goes 0-60 in half a year, a Civic must take three.

Yeah, we modify our automatics. Makes sense.

Why mess with something that’s already optimized?

My car wouldn’t benefit much from mods. The intercooler can’t handle higher temps, so squeezing out more performance would mean changing a ton of stuff. Even then, the car would wear down faster, and it’s been bulletproof so far.

Seriously… don’t start modding. Once you do, it’s a rabbit hole.
