I'm 38 and grew up during the Muscle Car era when there weren't really any FWD car's. When foreign cars like the Honda Civic(CVCC) started hitting the market pretty hard in the '70's you were a real dork if you owned one.
There were only a few muscle cars left, like the Mustang, up through the 90's so kids started fixing up Honda Civics thinking there cool but are too young to realize there dorky boring no respect past.
Sooooo guy's like me have to laugh when I see a guy with tattoo's and his arms all crossed acting all bad n stuff because he's standing next to his FWD Civic. It's just funny to me. I didn't get the newsletter saying there cool now!!!!!
I have a FWD Lincoln Continental I drive everyday but I also still have my first car. A '69 Camaro SS.
I plan on bracket racing the FWD Lincoln at NOPI this year since they won't let my Camaro in.
To each his own I say. I respect the guy racing the FWD in the SCCA, but have yet to ever feel inspired by a FWD car. I would also still feel like a dork in a Honda Civic.
Don't bash me, I'm not a hater or anything. It's not that big of deal to me if you have FWD or not. Like I said, To each his own.

What kind of respect do you want? The best gas mileage vehicle is front wheel drive. The least expensive car on the market is fwd. Most of the vehicles on the road today are fwd. Do you want more? I race a fwd car in SCCA and ICSCC. I build roll cages for race cars, and most of them turn out to be fwd. Again, what kind of respect do you want? On the other hand, the fastest production car is rwd. All open wheel race cars are rwd. Nearly all trucks are rwd. Maybe you hang around too many truck drivers that watch NASCAR on weekends. I respect you and fwd vehicles, is that enough?

Most people don't even know the difference, and it doesn't matter much what wheel drive your car has if your foot isn't on the gas pedal! How many people do you know who are able to get out of a bad situation by using the gas pedal as well as the steering wheel and brakes?

You would be referring to the Rodney Dangerfield FWD version.
I give them a lot of respect. they are a traction wondermobile.
