Mark took the words from me. Function > Form. But, there should be a balance. A wonderful car to drive should be balanced in all aspects. Form has it's uses, and an aestheticly pleasing car is a sight to behold. But it should be more than aestheticly pleasing.

Cars should be organic in their design. Much like many things created by Nature are beautiful and function perfectly, thus should be a vehicle.

most of the time, the cars that have alot of hp, are the ones driving safely or calm down the street, untill they feel they are in a area they kno they can play. ricers just do 100mph to the nearest 7'11, because, they're ricers.. i perfer performance over style. but style matters also. gotta match everything. nice modded car, wit a nice system.. nicely taken care of etc.. but. doin it up wit 30" wheels i think is retarded, but ppl like it. so fuck it. ppl r gonna cause accidents one way or another. just gotta be careful ;\

i would never rice out a car. but i'm fine with driving a nice car or a beater. as long as it gets me to where i want to go. i'd say 1/2 of my cars have been beaters and i never had a problem with women. there has been times when i didn't have a driver license and i'd have to have women drive me around. so if you need a car to get women i feel sorry for you.

as far as performance or style i like both and have owned both. but when i say style i'm talking about a caddy or bmw not a riced out honda. as for performance i'm talking a quick 8v car.

yeah, i guess the style part for me though is clean, simple, and mostly understated, but to let the the performance do the talking

im for a mix of both, id like to look good and have power. but i agree the ones that have power are the ones driving calm. i know in my red car i was always in the right lane going 40-45 down us 19. i use to have kids do their "fly by's" at me and started saying my car was slow just because i drove it slow...yet in the right places i proved them wrong. Anymore with the cops id choose style, the only place for performance is on the track, and no one really cares what the car looks like on the track as long as its fast. Shure standing out draws attraction but no where as much as a civic heard a mile away going 25 mph.

Those are your only 2 options, dont dodge the question with your explanations and babble, your response should either be "cars modded to go fast" OR "trucks on big rims". Ive never seen one in an accident yet.

Ricers are performance cars? Last I checked a muffler, body kit, and taillights are more "style" than performance.
