No more Hondas

[NOBU-SAN]

If this don't belong here, sorry, let it get tossed elsewhere. Just please leave a link or something. I think this is going to be a good thread, even if I get my ass flamed REAL BAD.(Thanks Mods)

Problem is: No, I didn't beat any Mustangs today. Or yesterday. Nor have many others that I know that drive the H. I HAVE had an epiphany. I'm a patriot, and the Auto industry is the lifeblood of our great country. I'd rather feed a family(Even a little is better than none.) than have a .003 panel gap. I see myself spending too much loot on this car to get it in the 12's. It's front drive, so the handling is inherently less buttoned down than rear drive. It's also basically a fucking econo car. "Premium Compact" if you want to split hairs. They are far too common, and mostly with young kids. Not that the image is a big deal, but to cops pulling motherfuckers over, image is almost everything.

Point is: I'm selling out, going to the dark side. I'm paying off this bucket and buying a Mustang no later than this fall. I still liek the imports, I like anything that is fast. I just think It's time to step up and start whooping some ass. Rear drive and at least 260hp(For the GT or the Mach1 that I plan on buying) Opinions welcome of course. Thanks. Holler back,

I'll let this stay in here for a while, so you can hear some feedback from those that cruise in here, but by God, if the flames start, this is gone.

carrrnuttt, what could be the problem? I mean It's just an opinion. A desire for something different. That's why people cheat, and move, and convert religions, and have kids and what not. I'd really like to hear something. I'm surprised I havn't already. Oh, well. I should probably give it a little more time. My bro almost shit when I told him that. My whole family drives Hondas. Even my Granddad has an Accord. He wants a fucking DSM(!st gen) turbo to hook up. I'd think a Mustang is a better bet than a DSM. I know factory turbo cars can usually be upgraded fairly inexpensively, and can usually haul ass when all's said and done, but I want a little rear drive action. Holler

P.S. If it gets ugly, please leave it till tommorrow. I can't read this shit from home, I have no puter there. Gracias amigo.

Heres how i view it:

There are no imports, there are no domestics, just cars. If someone has a love for a car, then how is he any different from the next guy? be it a 72 corvette or a 00 civic Si, you still have that passion for automobiles.

Also, Whether it takes 2 grand or 10 grand to run half way decent timeslips, in the end, where are you? Youre running that same timeslip as the other guy, so you both deserve respect. FWD, RWD, AWD, it doesnt matter.

If you want to take the mustang route, in my book, you have lost no respect. ITs all preference and you are free to express your opinion!

[ArideII]

I'm cool with everything but the feeding a family, as numerous "imports" are made in the USA. Just say it you want power and you want it now!

Enjoy the mustang man, but personally i enjoy the smoothness of the Accord(AKA my 'A' ride)

Chill.

I never said there was a problem with YOU. When I say flames, I meant from ANYONE, for or against.

Also, just like somebody said, most of the "imports" you see nowadays are built and assembled right here, in the U.S.A.

The exceptions are usually the high-end models like the NSX and S2000 for Honda, the Infiniti line for Nissan, and the Lexus line for Toyota...although that's about to change: http://company.monster.com/toymot/

BTW, my 1992 SE-R was built in Smyrna, Tennessee: http://www.tnedg.com/auto1.html

And your Civic, unless you bought it specifically JDM, was probably built in Ohio: http://www.hondaclub.com/(nos5hq3ad3...sp?PressID=128

gg i'm 100% with you.

Mustangs SUCK I cant believe it, you treasoned the honda family, you are a loser, v8s SUCK BIG TIME.

Ha ha ha....just kidding....I respect your opinion, at the end of the day its what makes us happy, not what makes other happy. A Ive said before, if there was a best car that exceeded the other one in all areas, everyone would buy it. What it comes down to is tastes, rear wheel drive, high revving 4 cyl engines, loud exhausts, vynils, aluminium wings, boosted. What sucks is when people talk shit to others because they dont have the car that they think is the coolest, we should all respect decisions and have fun, be friendly to other car enthusiasts.
When you buy your mustang post some pics. Cool!.

[broddie50]

Even though some of my posts might say different, I really do like alot of "import" cars. I always liked the early 90's RX-7's and Supras. I like the Sti and the Evo 8 as the modern representitives. But I'm glad you have turned to dark side...Luke Luke the LS1 is your father!

[AcesHigh]

I like both. I don't really care if its a Firebird or an Eclipse, as long as its fast it could matter less to me.

I hate Civic owners who say V8 Mustangs are junk. Unless you've done some major modifications, they will smoke your ass. "Oh, well they still suck".

To like only one or the other is bigoted.

[NOBU-SAN]

True. I think it's all the same to me too. Hopefully I'll be able to get that Stang come summer or fall at the latest. Holler

[knorwj]

I think this is kinda interesting...

Now if NOBU had come in here hating we all would have torn him apart with flames, etc. BUT because he calmly stated his case/opinion and politely asked our opinion we are all supportive and respectful in return.

NOOBS TAKE NOTE!!!!!!!!



Anyway, good choice NOBU I like the 2000-2004 mustangs, I think they are some of the better looking ones since the early seventies. AND they have good potential.

[coldcanadian24]

I totally agree with lotusonwater19..Get a bike..then you REALLY dont have to worry about kicking some ass.. the only prob is that no one will try to race you.. I'll be getting my F4I this spring..
Half the price of any shitstang and 10x faster.

[Ace$nyper]

your lucky ppl race my bike some times silly kids just cause it looks like a harly doesn't mean shes deep in the 11s
