If you’re in the Chicago area you probably saw this Honda Civic rolling around without doors with “I Identify as a Jeep” on his rear window.

Whatever your stance is on gender and sexual identification, one glance at this Civic and most people with a sense of humor find this guy’s rolling performance art to be, on some level, funny. Honda Civic owner Alex Arce decided that the quickest way to gain attention with your car without owning something brag-worthy was to go for some humourous low-hanging fruit or to, according to KnowYourMeme.com, parody “absurd gender and sexual identification posts.”

This Honda Civic that identifies as a Jeep first came to light earlier last year around October and probably has all its doors on now as of this writing but spottings of this Civic pop up on social media every know and again so…here are some words.

Alex actually made a whole half-hour video documenting his entire “Civic build” and reactions he got throughout the day. In his video Alex explains how “We’re getting a first look on what happens when a car drives around without doors basically. That’s pretty much the whole point of this video.”

I find it hard to believe that this was the only point, but OK.

It looks like taking off all the doors wasn’t all that hard and, as the sticker hints at, is legal to do in most cities. Since most passenger mirrors are attached to the doors themselves and it’s illegal to not have a sideview mirror, some stick-on mirrors were attached.

From what I got from his video and from posts online, the large majority of people who ran into this Civic Jeep were mostly positive. Most were just confused to see why this Civic didn’t have doors, a point unclear until you saw the rear decal. The only people who were pissed off at this Civic was surprisingly just his neighbors.

Apparently, Alex’s Civic was spotted all over town, posts on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat etc. all going viral.

Decal aside, I’m sort of curious how much faster the Civic felt with all that weight savings.

If it was attention Alex was going after, job well done.
