Davan,
People here bash EVERYTHING, everything from the bottom-feeders (civic, neon, sunfire, cavalier, hyundai) to the high-flyers (BMW, Mercedes) and everything in between.
However, the bashing relates PRIMARILY to:
1. what the DRIVER does to the vehicle and/or
2. how they drive their vehicle
If you are a Cavalier owner to which none of this applies, then you're okay, right?
If this Cavalier is riced-out or that Cavalier is driving around like a jackass, and people bitch about it, that's fine, because it isn't referring to YOU.
People bash Neons just as much, if not more.
We got a so-called 240-horse Neon Ex Sport ACR wannabe racer.
We got a 'super-ghey rice' neon with a huge aluminum wing that cruises 17th Ave.
We had some jackass in a Neon who lost control in a residential area and took out a few trees.
Finally, we got WalMart R Sticker crew armed with FRS radios in aisle 19.
Do I get offended? Not at all; I join in.
