yups its true. im starting to see more teenagers driving cls. i dont feel that speical anymore! one down fall to this.... all the people i seen driving cls around are girls! HAHA has the first gen become a chick car like a civic and a prelude and a bug

 

jk girls are cool!

 

think of it this way, since girls apparently like to drive the cl, maybe they will like to ride in it with you also.

 

I still see mostly old folks driving old CL's....

as far as teenagers...our cl is just like the old legends - as soon as their bluebooks hit below 15, they start buying em'

 

Last year there were 2 first gens in my town, (40,000 peeps)
now there is me, a modded black one, a green one, mist colored one, a white one. I havent had a chance to talk to any of them, the black one i believe has a pro-kit, clear corners, and few other goodies.

 

CLs becoming 2nd hand cars and being passed down to teenagers. Time for me to upgrade.

 

Where i live i see old folks with cls. My car is the only suped up cl around where "i live". I live around a bunch of rich fuks who drive only the latest benz, bimmers and jags. The other day a freaking viper wanted to race me, guess its the car.

 

I mostly see 30-40 yr old women driving 1st gens around here......sometimes it's weeks before I run into one though.

 

same over where i live. i dont see that many teenagers wit CLs.

 

Well, I don't think they have got any more popular seeing that there are none at the local meets...

Bay Area foolz... Saturday, Sacramento.... Check out the Club Meets section.

 

CLofUI - I hate to brake it to ya, but there was more than just you last year and more than that this year. A lot of older folk driving cls in town also.

 

Oh ya - the black one is 23. He bought his brand new 3 years ago and it is the shit!!

 

yea man, that aint a bad thing

 

I see at least 5-6 First Gens every day. There's a mix of drivers, but most tend to be 35+ (like me)!

First Gens have become very affordable.

 

yea im noticing alot more around .... my car was the first time i ever saw one ... i was the only one for about a year then BAMMMM theres like 40 of em around now

MaCe

 

how old is everyone here? im only 19 i got it when i was late 17. it used to be hella cool to drive it but now its common kinda

 

there are a few in my area, all old folks...the only two modded ones are me and a buddy of mine, he has a drop, i/e, and some rims.

 

Around me i see a mix of drivers, only one modded one at my University, and a couple of students driving stock ones..but mainly i see older people driving them..

 

I have seen more and more CL's Its just the value thing i think.

 

yah, i live in frisco, and not only are more and more of them showing up, but im seeing more with clear corners, and drops. i can name 5 that ive seen modded in the past two weeks in my city.

 

hey mikeeonay what school you goto? im from frisko tooooO!!

 

easyt answer to this is 2nd owners.. they sell pretty fawkin cheap now... all the lil guys getem because mommy nad daddy say they are safe and affordeable, yet luxurious and beautiful!!!



hehehehe....

 

Shiiiit, I got 2 suped up CLs in my building! A debadged white one with tints and clears and this beautiful black 2.3 with drop/rims exhaust, tints, clears

 

How is it that a lot of young-bucs are getting these $10-15G cars as there first auto? I know their not paying for them.

My first car was a CJ7 that I bought for $1000 and needed some work done to it. I bought it cause I intended on keeping it a long time, just to play with off-road. I still have it today and I'm 25 now.

I don't get why some peeps feel that thier kids need a nice car for school or whatnot. Get them a freakin used civic at the most and let them take care of it.

 

i agree completely. at my highschool the typical gift for a 16 year-old was either a bimmer 3 series or a jeep grand cherokee. so many kids would wreck them within a couple of weeks and sure enough they'd have a new one the next day.

 

I got this car when I was 17 (5 years)...Great for the time, but I don't think it was "over powered" for a teenager. I actually felt like I wanted to baby it more because of its worth. Probably prevented me from getting into alot of "would be trouble." I didn't even get in my first accident till early this year. Civics are ok...If you're a girl

Plus there's the safety factor. If I'm making 200K+ a year, I'm not buying my kid a damned civic so he can turn into a riceboy and hop on the altezza banwagon. Thats just bad PR for people around you. You buy what is within your means.

If you think getting a CL is spoiled, you should read the SupraForums about getting a brand new TT at age 16. I guess you can throw in the word "dangerous" in that mix

 

Too bad you weren't there last time I visited. We had all 3 CLs parked together like a CL mini meet

 

LoL, a CJ7 that needed some work? Isn't that like all CJ7
s, and probably most wranglers? This wasn't my first car, i had an '89 civic that my parents now drive (up to 189k miles), and I bought this car last year cause it was a good buy for a used car out of college. My springs are in the air, and shocks should be coming next week fellas, so now there will be 2 dropped CLs in the same building It doesn't help that our screen names are so similar Eugene

 

Yup. Too bad Comptech doesn't realize this huge market of kids wanting to supe-up CLs and release a sc kit for it.

 

No it doesn't

 

Where do you plan on getting your car dropped?

 

I got mine done at Butler Tire. Talk to Mike (Asian Kid...Spiky Hair). Talk to No One but Mike. He does all the work for the importatlanta board members. Straight up guy, won't rip you off.

 

why u all gangin up on us i have a 99 3.0 cl for my first car it was a gift from my parents. I had the choice between a Mitsu. 3000gt tiwn turbo, a new jetta, a new mustang, a benz c-class, or a bmw 3 coupe. I picked the CL b/c i think it was the nicest looks out of all of them and it really doesnt matter to me how many horses are under the hood my buddy got a 2003 stang and my other an s2000 they both love my cl so much they wanna buy one for their toy. i like my cl i decided on it b/c it had vey good milage less than 6k and all of its features. To some of you guys dissappointment i am into ricers i wanted a hooked up accord but my parents said no it wouldnt fit in w/ the family cars well any way i got my car i like and im lookin for some ideas on what to do

 

its ok this is my first car too

 

You coulda had a VR-4 or a 330ci and you chose a first gen cl? Damn...Umm...Yea...

 

yeah hahaa i was thinking that... my choices were wait for another car for just get a cl

 

I might get it done at Modhavi or at Burt Bros at Doraville (got a hookup there). I was gonna have my boy in Tally do it for me, but I don't have time to drive down there....

 

yeah why would you get the CL over a benz or bimmer

It sucks about how many CLs there are none. I remember when we got the car in early 97 and no one knew what it was but they loved it, ah well time to trade in

 

Time to have a mini meet/race down the access road to 85

 

I feel you... I found out about CL's and after looking intensively, found one that I really liked. Low mileage, clean, loaded etc... I don't exactly notice girls driving them around and I don't see them as often as civics or accords. I do however notice middle age women driving them. I think its just a nice, comfortable car. THere is something weird about the First Gen's body style that could be detouring a lot of people away. I like it and I don't care about its over all looks. I bought it because its a solid car that is completely dependable with more performance and luxury than an accord...
