At least they weren't crotchless...
You utter bastard - how the hell do I get that imagery out of my head quickly??!!!

Just as long as any sex my parents may have was before I was born, then I'm OK with it.

What do you have against Honda Civics? I drive one - I've had it 11 plus years and it's the most reliable car I've ever owned. I'm not a Chav though. Actually I know several people who drive Civics and none of us are Chavs.

Law of averages

Most Civics here are driven by Massachusetts chav equivalents who think it's cool to cruise through quaint New England towns playing gangster rap. Actually, it's quite funny to see.

Wow - that's surprising, but then I've never been to MA, actually never been to any of the New England states - it's on my bucket list to visit them!!
I know several single women like myself who drive Civics, probably because they are so reliable, also very economical on gas mileage.

Waiting for a sample at the grocery store, told it'll be 5 mins, so you pop around the the aisle to get stuff to come back and see that the batch is gone and you'll have to wait again.

Walmart photo service...it is never good, always takes longer than they say and generally just shit...but when you only need a few pics printed and don't want to drive to the next town to get them done, it's very annoying....and why the hell hasn't the instant print machine been fixed yet.

Cost of peppers, $4 a pound, piss off....cost of milk, how come BJ's can manage to sell a gallon for $2.09 while everyone else sells it for $3.30-$4

How come those price check scanners in Target and Walmart never, ever work? They either take forever and time out, switched off, or in some other state of falling apart.

They're good cars...but they're annoying when they get modded to shit because they're cheap.

Basically the equivalent to the Vauxhaul Nova or the VW Golf

And randomly, one of my mums friend is married to one of the lead designers on the Civic R-type...he's about as un-go racer chap as you can imagine, more of a pipe and slippers kind of guy in his 50's
