I heard this from my father of all people. What he meant (and others I have
heard it from since I bought the car, and oddly enough it has always been a
57 chevy reference.) was that the car was versitile. Any number of engines
could be shoehorned in there. its the new "hot rod" of choice since its a
good starting platform that can go in many directions. And just as old hot
rodders tended to do, some of them are kept cherry stock while others strive
to seperate their car from the crowd. Apparently he came to this conclusoin
after attending a large car show at the beach where he saw 5 CRX's parked in
a row with the hoods up, and not a single one had the same engine.
