Okay, our title is wrong and right on so many levels, but then so is the video that we are about to show you. In the span of just 30 seconds, you are about to learn how crazy and diverse the car world is from a driver in Turkey who has realized his Civic is so low that it can clear snow.
As a man who cares deeply about cars, especially ones as cool as the Civic Type R, it pains me to see that it's being treated this way.

But as much as it hurts the eyes, this video also proves that the Civic Type R was built the right way, tough as the lawn mowers Honda builds.

You see, cars that are riced are supposed to be fragile, held together with glue and a few screws. But the front bumper of this Civic is not going anywhere. I've seen some SUVs that can't take a pounding as well as this thing.

It makes you wonder what the driver was on, especially since Turkey is famous for rugs and condiments, not Tokyo Drift and banking speakers.

The video itself was posted by a Facebook community of Turks called Japanese Cars. The Supras and Subarus performing snow drifts would lead us to believe that we're dealing with fanatics of the sideways motorsport. Perhaps the owner of the front-wheel-drive Civic was feeling left out and decided to prove his car could also perform tricks.

But did he really have to? I mean, the FD2 was always known as the superior Civic Type R. While Swindon was cranking out those horrible FN2 hatchbacks, some people were lucky enough to buy this sedan. It had a more powerful 2-liter engine, better suspension, better steering and a rigid chassis. Heck, the one in this video even looks like it has a few Mugen parts... which are being destroyed.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
