so everytime someone asks me what i drive i simply say, a neon, and on with the laughter. Sure they dont know what i have done to it or what it looks like its just we get a bad name. so i decided to do a little research and see why. And ill be damned everyone does with plenty of exections but people are doing pointless mods like huge wings and stupid body kits and their automatic stock peices of you know what. I jus dont understand how someone could want to take a car with so much potential and so many different way to use it, and completley ignore it and make it slow and look like crap with stupid wings and dual exhaust and paint all the interior parts some stupid color and leave eveything...EVERYTHING stock lol i just dont get it. So post the nicest neon pic you can find and lets redeem ourselves.

Neons get ragged on because its an American car... and has no Vtech... among other things. Frankly, I don't see that many riced out Neons. Least not around me. Most Neons I see around my area are POS that are 10 different colors, are beaten to Hell and back, and smoke like crazy... then you have mine that I autocross and only got beaten by a Mini cooper, turbo MR2 spyder and a heavily modded Teg (Lost by 3 tenths of a second due to me making a mistake)

has any one noticed thats neons 1st gen and 2nd gen are domestic ricers but srt-4's are american muscle?...imo the neon is a great car its very dependable in a race, as a daily driver, or just in maintence wise...but the only mods people around az do is put on a 8' wing and a invader kit...only performance is no exhaust at all lol...sounds like a rocket but its just sad to see a neon with no back pressure going so slow...and they let it get beat the hell up...to each his own though

i frankly dont car what ppl say and they can talk all they want i see it as they have to ride that trash heap not me. my themes are strickly my own but not at a ricey look. i know whats enough and whats to much. i have three aluminum wings high mid and low and only the low would have that look to it but still doesnt go wit the car. simple is good stock to be original fine but added colors and lights and unnessesary parts all that crap i sware someone wants to be in the next fast and the furious movie.

They do it because its theirs and not yours, I don't like it but I also remember when the back bumper of a Chevelle had to be three feet off the ground with loud pipes or it wasn't fast. Remember the ugly *** 70's custom paint jobs? Everyone has their own tastes. I remember when I wouldn't be caught dead in a 4 cylinder car, let alone a neon. Doc
