With comments like yours and @bird_dog0347 (as well as others) it makes me think that when people say something is not unique and it's "played out" because they see it all the time it makes me wonder if they are saying that based on what they see on the internet instead of what they see in person. Even when I lived in San Diego I never saw clean Foxs driving around all the time. I know they're there but it was never so often that it made you want to sell your car or get upset about it. San Diego was more about rice, honda civics, del sols, integras and what not.
I think it's just what people see on the internet. I see some awesome cars online that I rarely see in person. Usually it's only when I go to car shows and such. Granted, here in New England, there is really onlt 3 good months of the year to drive, so Foxes i see in the winter months aren't "gently loved" cars.
I couldn't tell you the last time I saw a 4-banger fox in the wild. Seriously....a year or more.
I might see one fox 5.0 every 2-3 weeks here in the summer. None in the winter anymore. And like i said above, that fox i see is generally not in great shape or is a 100% stock car driven by an older person.
I haven't seen a fox with 5-lug wheels, Sn95 brakes, a nice cam or supercharger lowered on nice wheels out in the wild in a LOOOOOOONG time. Kinda explains a lot about why when i drive mine, i get a lot of attention with it and it's by no means a flashy car.
