It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Looks like a Honda Fit bought off Wish.com

It’s 5 years before the Fit came out, so I guess. It was ahead of its time a little…

Real talk, would rock that so hard.

E: I bought one in Gran Turismo (1?) because while the stats are bad - it's a starter car - the design is really cool. 7 year old me loved it, and modern me loves it.
