A pet-peeve

Stock Lancer Showoffs..

We all have Lancers.
They were all stock at one point, and others still are.

Regarding those that still are..
Why do people find the need to post pics showing-off bone-stock Lancers?

Their all the same.
Its not like youre gonna be getting any Ooh's and Ahh's about it... so wtf?

Thats all.

Maybe some people just like showing pics of their car? My car is stock on the outside for the most part but sometimes it's nice taking pictures of it.

its not really about the oh's and ah's with the stock ones, they just showin their pride... apparently you dont have much pride in your car, or didnt when it was stock... Im very proud of my lancer its 100% stock, well right now its torn apart inside but thats beside s the point, its the first car ive ever bought by my self, and paid for insurance by my self.. and im impressed by it... and i just wanna share that pride with other lancer owners...

put 2000 down
its now 10,000
saves you 50 bucks a month
600 a year
and in 5 years
saves u 3000
thats an extra 1000 then you would have without it
maybe thats not alot to you, but to the penny savers like me. it is.
lancer or no lancer, its a car, a car that drives good and has a better rep then alot of cars out there.
and dont forget
on a the name of a evo what comes first ?!?!? oh its LANCER evo.
I love my base lancer just as much as my EVO.
I love to save my pennies too, but I didn't see ~$3k as worth it over 6 years, especially when I refinance and get it back pretty much.

OK, I moved all the posts about your monthly payments to a new thread in lancer general because it was way off and had enough posts to make a new thread. Back on topic now, people probably post up pics of their stock cars because they like them. And most of them are after they get washed and/or waxed so they look super clean. and most of them are not just "here's my car." They are taken at different angle so the car looks cooler than just a side shot. You should have pride in what you drive, and other people should respect that.

People post stock pics because they wanna hear from you what mods will look good on their car.

For example, rims, type of tint....etc.
