JDM + Honda = Fuccboi

The Honda CR-V is a compact crossover manufactured by Honda since 1995. It uses the Honda Civic platform in an SUV body. The CR-V is Honda’s mid-range utility vehicle, slotting between the smaller HR-V and the larger Pilot.

Honda states “CR-V” stands for “Comfortable Runabout Vehicle”, the expansion “Compact Recreational Vehicle” also appears in independent press republished by Honda. Honda began producing the CR-V in Sayama, Japan, and Swindon, UK, for worldwide markets, adding North American manufacturing sites in East Liberty, Ohio, in 2007; El Salto, Jalisco, Mexico, in late 2007 (ended in early 2017); Alliston, Ontario, Canada, in 2012; and Greensburg, Indiana in February 2017. The CR-V also is produced in Wuhan (Hubei province) for the Chinese market by the Dongfeng Honda Automobile Company, a joint venture with Dongfeng Motor Corporation.

Well, that was what Wikipedia says about the Honda CRV, As Honda’s idea of the CRV is that it is a “Comfortable Runabout Vehicle” or “Compact Recreational Vehicle” the owner of this featured CRV have a Different idea, he built his CRV with the idea of having a Fuccboi Car, in the Filipino automotive culture language, Fuccboi mean Ladies Guy or a womanizer, etc., you know what we mean hehehe. As in the Filipino car scene, the ultimate Fuccboi car are the cars with “H” logo, Honda. As for the Honda Line-up, the most famous built Hondas in the Philippines is the Civic, and the CRV.

This Featured JDM inspired 2001 Honda CR-V is owned by Mr. Paul Gerald Espiritu from Las Pinas. He stated building and modifying the car way back in 2001 with the idea of having it built to perfection. Like most of us, his biggest influence on the car scene gaming are his friends whom personally are fellow car enthusiast. Mr. Espiritu’s first car is a Honda Civic Esi. If given the chance to have a new car, this JDM by heart guy would still go for another CRV and again, would still modify it JDM style, the Fuccboi way.

As an advice to fellow enthusiast who would soon modify a CRV, the advice of Mr. Espiritu is that you should think and imagine well before you start your own build because it is not easy to modify a car. There would be challenges, and it would cost you a lot to modify a car. But everything would be worth it once you see the outcome of your build, especially when you become a Fuccboi.
