First off I live in berlin Massachusetts. I drive a 2000 Civic Si. Heres My Rant/Problem/Whatever you want to call it.
None of my friends drive hondas. They think I know nothing about cars because i drive a Honda Civic. My friends cars include:
Chevy Caprice LT1
Chevy Monte Carlo 6 Speed TPI
F-150 Supercharged Lifted Shortbed
Chevy Blazer K10 Lifted 33's
Chevy S-10 4-wheel drive Extended Cab (beater)
Ford Taurus S.H.O.
Every time I mention my car and what im doing to it, they always say something like.... "wanna race?" and i get so pissed off because they dont even get the fact that my car may not be as fast as their car is, but it can out handle there car any day of the week and probably beat there car in a real "Racing" situation (excluding drag). Sure my car wont win in a drag (obviously) but that doesnt mean that i shouldnt own it. Lets see, would i rather have a car that is a gas guzzler and fast from the get-go, or would i rather have a car that has an efficient engine that is harder to get good horsepower gains out of because its already working efficiently. I agree with the term "theres no replacement for displacement" when it comes to NA cars, but why are some people so dumb that they dont understand that 300 HP stock V8 Engines are not anything special, and If I wanted one I could have one too. I just wish that one of my friends was into My car. And for the record I believe that i see more girls driving mustangs (the original american muscle car) than i do guys, and when i do see guys behind the wheel of mustangs, they usually think there car is wicked fast, and i usually think to myself that they are wicked gay. Anyways, the moral of this story is....Im from massachusetts. I love my 2000 Civic Si, I want to chill with other Honda enthusiasts in MA, and ditch my friends. Drop me a line at
tommaimone@hotmail.com if you want to chill.
