Here is a selection of fanmail that was received while the Civic Type-R was up on eBay.

hey buddie, your car is so gay, you dont know anything about imports. Also, your car is supposed to have a "timex" tachometer, well it's a da*n clock. you are so dumb for even trying to sell it. plus you shouldn't say that it's a type r, you don't even know what a type r is. you are such a douche bag! sorry but your dumb.

Fan Mail....
This is by far the best auction that I have ever seen for a modified Honda product. You are an inspiration to anyone who isn't gay. My associates and I are rallying together to buy this car, we want to race it against CRX's and Accord's and maybe a moped or a skateboard. We are a little concerned though with your 1/4 mile time quotes and trap speeds, they seem a bit low. I am not tryig to take anything away from your fine tuning mods, but I need to know if you are fudging these numbers to sell this car. I wondered if the stickers you had put on the car are lightweight? could there be lighter ones out there? or is it all about show? Thanks

...yet again more fan mail

Peace

Thanks for letting me know....

Are you serious? If you did this to that poor old car all I have to say is, well, oh my god I hate you. You should be taken to a remote place and destroyed with that car to put both of you out of misery. 1)"Timex Tach"......It's a fu%k!ng clock! 2)"Custom dangling tweets".....They are hanging from the door like my nuts hang on a hot day 3)The wing is wood! So much more I could comment on, but not worth my time. Just do the whole world a favor, never work on another car again, and if you do don't use gardening equipment for a body kit (or a cut up trash can for a hood scoop).

Here is another fan...

Dude you must know nothing about imports. That car has at least 30 stickers on it. At 10 HP per sticker that car has over 300 hp plus the stock 60. The exhaust would add 50 hp and the spoiler 20 hp. That car has to be a total of 430 horsepower. Any import racer knows its a 10 second car.

This guy has it all figured out...

I can only assume you're selling this because you get called a fag ricer at every stoplight and get your ass smoked by LeBarons and can no longer tolerate the mental pain.
And I'm sure you know there's Type R Civic, so claiming that you have an authentic Type R Civic is false adverstising.
After looking over the pictures I can safely assume you've spent about $90 on 'modz', but luckily the homemade Type R 'badge' saved a few nickels.
"Eats Mustangs and Camaros for lunch"
Yeah, more like eats Metros (with a spare, jack, and various other objects in the trunk weighing at least 300 lbs) for lunch, am i rite?
Fag

Nice....

Hey do you know anything about cars at all, that wood spoiler you have makes that car look so f***ing ugly, why do you need a rear spoiler when the car is FF, and comon 60 horsepower, my car is 83 supra and I can smoke your car and i only paid 1500 dollars for it, my cars 1/4 time is 16.5 stock configuration, and having and exhuast that big you only loose back pressere, your stereo sucks, mine is way better and so is my system 4000 watts of bass power, your 20+ seconds quarter mile time is ridiculous, Thats one funy f###ing auction though, and what the f*** is that thing in your front bumper some kind of cheap ass intercooler.

I must apologize in advance for any mexicans reading this...

what the hell are you trying to pull? is this some kind of sick joke? take the "car", if you can call it that, back to the mexican you stole it from, then kick your own @ss, or get a friend to do it, if you have any.

JDM Hookup Yo...

Hi! I'm from Japan. I loved this car, I guess it's what USDM Honda looks like. Do you think you can ship it to Japan. We are going to put it to Tokyo Auto Salon 2004. Thanks

This is the most intresting trade proposal yet aside from the yugo, cell phone combo...

You sir have ruined my day... I now wish I had not spent the money I did to mod my 11 second street car when I could have simply bid on your car... Would you consider a trade for a kidney or other nonessential body part? How about my neighbor or some of his body parts? I dont like him anyway and would be MORE than happy to trade him (or pieces of him) to you for the car.

Maybe after I get back from the Tokyo Auto Salon

LOL, I love your car. Those emails that people sent you about not knowing anything about imports are freakin great. Anyway, my name is David Rucker owner of Extreme Velocity Productions (www.extremevelocityproductions.com) I was wondering if you have any footage of your car that you would let me use in our next import video (Street Outlaws 2)

We are now the number oe item on ebay acording to andale...

http://www.andale.com/counters/count_tophitters.jsp

I would like to reiterate that I am actually selling this car. If you do not intend to purchase this vehicle please do not bid. Thank you for the intrest and overall positive response to my creation.

Whats a sumat???

What the f*c# is that car? It looks f*c#ing stupid, Scrap it, burn it or sumat, What a pile of sh!te

The only american vehicles I have ever owned have been the trucks I used to tow my ITA MR2 or DSP SE-R. And as a previous owner of a Supra Turbo and an M3 I am well aware of how imports handle in the twisties...

I bet you think you are so cool. You are probably about 16 and drive some v6 mustang too. I dunno why I waste my time, but I love the mentality of some people. All you die hard American car lovers knock import cars, but quite a few American cars posess foreign motors or have foreign designs in them. "There's no replacement for displacement" is what you think. However someone can take a Japanese car (or any smaller displacement engine in a car) and tune it to run 10s on the street and still be able to drive it to work everyday with good gas mileage. For the most part any fast(I'm talking 12's or under)V8 powered car is only driven to go race or to cruise for a short period of time. And they can't handle worth a damn either. They do straightline. Take them to the twistys and watch them get owned. They also break parts like its their job because they are pushed beyond their limits to make power. I would flame your ass more and put more thought into it, but I have cla! ss early tomorrow. And just because some jackass does something like you did to that car doesn't mean that all Imports are like that. I'm sure you being down in Jacksonville see plenty of RX-7's, Supra's, 300zx's, and other import cars that haul ass. So next time think before you do something like this.

Sorry to shoot down your 16 year old V6 Mustang theory...

Lets hear it for Garrett, I am glad to see that they have a sense of humor. Now if only Home Depot will step up to the plate with some sponsorship money...

Dear Sir,
We at Garrett Turbo are most honored and happy that you selected our turbo as part of the performance package for this fine racer. We take pride in our product and we believe that our turbos, like this fine racer, are the best in the market. Therefore, we would like to offer you a substantial sum of "sponsorship" money. The only thing we ask is to "Please removed our company sticker from the windshield!"
Thank you
From the Chairman and CEO, Garrett Turbo.

Im flatered but I think my girlfriend would get upset...

"Will you marry me?"

In addition to marriage proposals I have recieved several job offers, like this one...

"Hi my name is Chris Davis and I work in the R&D department at American Honda Motor Corp. We at American Honda just wanted to express to you how much we enjoy seeing Honda enthusiasts like yourself express themselves through their cars. However at the same time we think you could be a great assest to our R&D team here at our headquarters. Here at Honda we have created some of the best cars ever, and have considered reintroducing the 87 Civic body style and would like to use your designs from your car and would like you to head up the team that would create it. We need people like you to continue creating the best cars known to man. We think that by creating a mass production car just like your car that we can be considered number 1 amongust the "POS" cars that have been created. Even if you don't take us up on our offer we hope you'll continue driving pieces of s*&t like this car and always wear your helmet for your reputation sake cause heaven forbid anyone ever sees you driving this car."

What is it with all the gay comments...

Your car and attempt to be funny is very weak..wow your life must suck to waste all that time typing that stupid stuff..really its not funny at all get your boyfriends ball gravy outta your eyes........1

Well as of this morning I have recieved 472 emails. I have been proposed too once, offered three jobs, two positions in various films and generally been called an idiot/moron/retard twenty three times. That leaves 443 positive, supportive emails from people who generally like the car and understand the underlying humor that has made this the most viewed auction in all of ebay. I have recieved emails from, Australia, Japan, Finland, Denmark, England and New Jersy. As far as I can tell this car has been mentioned on over 50 car forums accross the internet. I must say that when I made this car as a joke 2 years ago I had no idea it would become such a phenomenon.

On another note I would like to reiterate that this car really is for sale. I apreciate the bids I have recieved and just want to make it clear that your bid is a legal binding contract to purchase this vehicle. If you do not intend to follow up with your bid please retract it so that some one who really intends to purchase the car can get an opertunity to enjoy it as much as me and my friends have.

Sweet I am in the same league with superman...

my hero used to be super man, then it was my dad, then it was all the fire men in the world, but now, it is without a doubt you! thank you for giving me something to look up to!!!!

All I have to say is wow...

HOW THE H3LL CAN ALL THE IMPORT DRIVIN" F&GS ACTUALLY TAKE THIS CAR SERIOUSLY??? THIS CAR WAS OBVIOUSLY BUILT AS A JOKE, AND ANYONE WHO TAKES OFFENSE TO IT EITHER DRIVES A RICED OUT PIECE OF $HIT THAT RESEMBLES THIS CAR, OR HAS GENITALS THAT ARE NOT FUCTIONING PROPERLY. THE PURPOSE OF "SOUPING UP" THIS CAR IS TO SHOW HOW POORLY TODAYS YOUTH IS SPENDING THEIR DADDY'S MONEY. ALL OF THE PEOPLE GETTING PI$$ED OFF BECAUSE THIS CAR SHOWS HOW G&Y THEIR CAR ACTUALLY LOOKS NEED TO EITHER GET THEIR &SS KICKED SEVERELY, OR GROW SOME BALLS AND GET LAID. SOME PEOPLE NEED TO PULL THEIR HEADS OUT OF THEIR A$$ES TO SEE HOW PATHETIC THEIR RICE ROCKETS ARE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL ALL OF THESE PEOPLE TO GET A SENSE OF HUMOR OR GET A REAL CAR. THEY MAKE ME SICK. BY THE WAY... YOUR '87 CIVIC TYPE R IS SWEET AND HELLA FUNNY. THE PEOPLE WHO PUT IT TOGETHER DID A GREAT JOB. THEY ARE MY HEROES!!!

I am at a loss...

I have always liked the 70's vintage muscle cars until I saw your car for sale. I have currently put my original cobra up for sale in hopes I can come up with the money before this auction ends. I wish that more of the imports around this area looked like yours, but apparently they are not as race orientated. If I am able to get $2000 for my cobra will you take 72 pinto wagon in on trade as well? I made it into a truck with a chop saw. It worked really well, I took the base off the saw and then wound it up and started grinding. The saw flew out of my hands once and killed my dog. The sparks caught the interior on fire, I was stuck inside and I ended up with third degree burns on 40 percent of my body. After a six month hospital stay I was able to get back to work and now it's finished. It's really nice!! but I can't show you any pics because my camera was in the pinto when it caught on fire. Take my word for it, this thing is almost as nice as your car. I think t! he $2000 and the pinto for your car would be fair. Please get back to me!! I don't want to miss out on this awesome deal!!

Im not even going to respond to this...

The sad thing is the only reason that you're making fun of imports is because you don't have a nice one or the knowledge of how to customize one. Just as much time has been put into making fun of it with your piece of junk as it is to make a custom import yourself. What a waste of time.

I am sure I know quite a bit more about "type-r's" than this guy...
Also I would like to wager that he has some pent up homosexual tendencies, that he needs to deal with.

you are soo g&y buddy!! let me start by saying you're a fu*#ing joke. you dont even know what a type R is let alone what it stands for. personally if I owned that car I would jump it right off a cliff and into a watery grave. You are the pinnacle of LOSER. 20.11 seconds in a 1/4, I can push my car down the track faster then that. Plus calling that ugly piece of sh!t a ricer, you oughta just kill yourself. 9 inch exhaust,timex tach, go out and get a job and go buy a real car. I hope someone thinks ur funny because i dont. I hope you get sued for driving that thing around. you and you're rusty lame "RICE" should get off the street because if I ever saw that TYPE SUCKS D!C# on the street ill make sure I hit it you waste of life. I bet you cant even afford food you welfare homo. just take your 20 second mustang eater and go eat another c0c# u f&ggot. CIVIC TYPE R my &ss!!!!

Some one help this guy, I am at a loss...
