Decided I'm boring...

So I went out and bought a boring commuter car.




It's very... Great at commuting!

Boring people get bored easily -- won't you fall asleep behind the wheel and run into a ditch?

being exciting all the time gets boring, so being less exciting for a little while is ok

Nice! What model/color scheme/engine?

Hondas are great cars.

Ok, so now you need some of those small wheels that stick out the sides a mile, a soup can muffler, a really loud-distorted stereo, a wing and a bunch of decals to make it go faster. Oh and 100% window tint on all the windows.
Did I miss anything?

PVC "cold air intake", MAF from a 7L v8, jb welded throttle body from a 7L, and cut the springs

It's always a good idea to have a cheap backup car.

Yep, gotta cut the springs....
Car must bottom out on a pebble...
And cut the upper control arms in half too...

I agree! It makes me sort of wonder if the OP sees his car more for social status than as good, nice to drive and reliable transportation.
