I have a paper due in 12 hours for my college class and I sorta need to know some things real fast here.

I'm writing about the rex and why its my favorite consumer product and I need to know the following:

1. The history of the rex. why was it made in the first place?
2. What things I like about it? I've already mentioned its nimbleness its unique looks, honda reliability. What else is really important here?
3. What image it portrays? What kind of ppl drive rexes and what are their lifestyles? Are they making a statement? If yes then what is it?
4. How is rex or honda products and philosophy fall in line with your own beliefs and values?

With all that being said above I also would like to know what analogies and metaphors I could use to describe the above.

Lastly I need pictures to support my statement above. I was thinking of making a collage of people enjoying themselves, pictures of people where you can clearly see them being alert with adrenaline running through their system, pictures of something that would say "always there and always reliable"

I've done a substantial portion of my paper but I could use some help from fellow rexers.

Your input is TRULY appreciated!

Thanks

Maybe this will help:

In this land of lifted trucks, tasteless rice, and trendy cars that I live in it is nice being the only guy that doesn't have a 10 inch lift or Flowmasters on a stock GT. The area where I live (a very, very trendy wakeboarder area where everyone tries too hard) is overwhelmed by a certain kind of mentality. Their mentality is that they have to get a ride that gets them laid by the gold-digger chicks. Which are very plentiful in the town of Discovery Bay.

So what I am saying is everyone here is getting vehicles to "get some" (as I have been told by these dudes) I just don't care too much about impressing the coke-head girls around here, and let me tell you that is all they are LOL

So maybe I am saying to the people here that I don't care about what they consider a "normal" ride. And maybe the reason I get so many compliments on my CRX is because none of them ever see anything similar in this area. I don't know...

Maybe I like the idea of making a lot with less? Sure for the money spent on my CRX's engine, etc I could have just bought an older 5.0 and had a better platform to build a monster with, but it would not have been nearly as fun for me.

Have you mentioned it's role in motorsports in the last 20 years since it's introduction?

Which means always faithful in Latin I believe? J/k that couldn't really be used I don't think.

What you need is pictures of a CRX meet dude. That is the epitome of CRX people enjoying themselves. Here are some from another forum I am on:
