    wow good writing s14...

    but thats why you dislike honda's because most of the owners don't know anything? Well it is so true.

    Heck, believe it or not, when I was a kid, I was all for american cars. I loved the sound of a noisy v8 at idle, and hearing it roar. I wanted to get a camaro, hehe.

    My parents had a honda civic, and a toyota corolla, and I was just like "hey, economy car, no fast"

    The 86 civic of ours had a whopping 58 horsepower. Hey it sounded cool, hehe.

    Well I have ridden in my fair share of nice cars. A few weeks before my triumphant loyalty to honda, I rode in some guys stingray corvette. I'm not sure what parts he had under the hood, but there was some edelbrock engine dress up.

    We went to an abandoned industrial road, and smoked this nissan, it was great. (no hate to nissans s14, just sayin what happened brutha )

    Then a few weeks later, my friend comes to my house with a honda civic. I noticed he had 17 inch wheels, new springs and dampers, and a carbon fiber hood. I was thinking it might be a little fast, but it still had a tiny 1.8 litre engine. I had noticed sometimes seeing people put body kits and huge exhaust tips on their hondas and stuff, I thought it was pretty corny. He, however, didn't have a body kit or any of that junk.

    well it was a 93 civic hatchback si, with a b18c5 (integra type-r) swap. he had an aem cold air intake, stock exhaust, msd ignition, dc headers, and a few little things here and there.

    Well I rode in it, and OH MY!!! Thats when I fell in love with these cars. Even without the exhaust, it was fantastic hearing the rumble of 8400 rpm through that cold air intake. And his car sucked me into the seat more than that corvette I rode in.

    That's when I started reading a lot about honda, and their involvement in motorsports, like formula 1, and I have been loving the company ever since. There are so many people with honda's that don't know anything about cars, or honda themselves, and it's just a disgrace, really, I can understand why so many people don't like honda.

    But until that triumphant day I can get behind the steering wheel of a nsx with koji shibahata's all wheel drive, and a 400 horsepower n/a 3.5 litre v6 (hint hint 2004 nsx), I will be driving an integra

          This debate is all over the place, its all personal preference people. Sometimes theres even different reasons for liking the cars. Example, my grandmother would never ever buy any car other than an American car because she lived through WW2 and remembers all the patriotic sentement, BUY AMERICAN, and such.

          Now, when it comes to speed and stuff, you could tweak a car to beat any other car, the cycle is endless. However i prefer imported cars, because i was brought up to believe it, however one thing i DO believe is Foreign Engines(especially Japanese) are superior, after all, Japan is the technological capital of the world, honestly now, how many of you have Japanese TV's and such? You have them because the American versions cannot even compare, the Japs just beat out America in technology, and even according to recent statistics, the PS2 is a lot more popular then the X-Box, i saw it on the news yesterday. Why would it be more popular if it wasnt better? Personally, i think anyone who would buy an X-Box just because its American, and supposedly better than a PS2 is nuts, the PS2 just delivers a better performance, so....even probability dictates that Japanese cars are better, they are superior in everything else technology wise...

          I myself, however still prefer a German car, i dont really care about acceleration rates and such, "So you can out drag me?? Good, you can be the fool who the cop sees first."

              At any rate, I have a confession to make. I bought my first Honda today and I LOVE IT TO DEATH!! I can mow the lawn in 20 minutes now!

                    To tell you the truth, the xbox outperforms the playstation 2, and even has a built in harddrive. what makes the playstation 2 popular are the games.

                    The japanese also love making things compact, thats why the gamecube is pretty popular over there in japan. Microsoft sells the xbox in japan, I'm not sure if the xbox itself is smaller, but in japan they come with smaller controllers and such.

                      the 30* angle at which the 15 hp motor sits TREMENDOUSLY reduces vibration. It's a fun little lawn tractor and I'm will to bet it's faster than a few rice burners I've seen.

                        hehe. I've seen some sad stuff on the internet, like people modding out those lawn tractors, lowering them, putting polished metal wheels, decals, and actual performance mods I dunno if you've seen any of that stuff.
