Dear Honda Owners...

[ImportsSuck]

Dear Honda owners,
I don't want to race you.

That's right, I'm un-interested in trying to challenge you and your faux supercar in a drag race between stoplights downtown. I don't know why you all feel the need to glare at me while the light is red. You don't have to change your grip on the steering wheel like its a pair of motorcycle handlebars, either. You especially don't need to rev your four-cylinder with its loud exhaust system because you might tempt me to want to race you.

I don't.

What really gets me, though, is with the abundance of similarly craptastic hondas out there, why do you want to race me? The way I figure it, you want to race everything in sight. My Jeep has less than 200 horsepower and the aerodynamics of a barn. However, I suppose the near-verticle air dam which is my windshield isn't neccesarily discouraging to someone who puts a god-damn wing on the back of a front wheel drive car. More downforce for the rear wheels then, eh? That way you can accelerate faster, right? Great work, dipshit.

But seriously. I don't get it. I don't ask you to go drive trails with me. I don't wave and say 'lets go haul ass through a mud pit'. Sure, I spend about as much time off pavement as you do on the track, but at least I can tell the difference between a race car and a 4x4. Does my Jeep look like a challenge or something? Do you and your honda friends get together and say 'Dood! I just beat that Jeep with the big tires and low gears! I'm so fast!'

The way I figure it, your car sucks so much, you can't beat any of the other Hondas, and sure as hell don't want to admit defeat. Instead of buying a genuinely fast car, you choose to get your rocks off racing easy vehicles in your piece of shit. Way to go, badass! I'm proud of you! Why don't we get together and beat up some kids later. I'll let you sucker punch a baby. It will be hard core.

Seriously, though. Please, please, the next time you see me, or any other non-challenging vehicle at a light, don't antagonize them and encourage them to 'race.' Instead, pull your head our of your ass, and realize that your hatchback is probably faster than a minivan, delivery truck, recreational vehicle, bicycle, u-haul, and other similar underpowered non/aerodynamic vehicles. Oh, and don't forget, you're probably faster than me, too.

Go play some more Gran Turismo, and quit being a jackass.

Thank you.

You're making generalization. What if I said all domestic car owners are red kneck hicks, would it be true? Of course not. Just because you live near a bunch of jackass kids who don't have a clue about what the fuck they are talking about, doesn't mean that every Honda owner is like that. I drive a '94 Civic and don't go more than 3mph over the speed limit (unless I'm on the highway and in a hurry). I also don't ever try to race anyone in my unmodified car. I've been rev'd on by Cavaliers, Neons, Mustangs, and a Lotus; guess how I reacted...I didn't even acknowledge them. Not every Honda (or Civic) owner is a jackass, that's a generalization. But if you say all Hondas are slow, then you're sadly mistaken. With the exception of the S2000 (which is "quick", not "fast") almost any Honda can be fast; if heavily modified. The majority of Hondas are exactly as advertised; reliable, good on gas, and economical. Any one with intelligence knows that a stock Civic is slow as shit, but so are a lot of domestic and other import cars. If you've got a problem with the ricer Honda drivers in your area, then grow some balls and say something to THEM. It'd be more productive than coming on a forum anonymously and talking shit to a bunch of people who don't even live in your area. Clearly you're jsut as stupid as the losers you're bitching about.

I wouldn't race, I'd cave your head in with a hammer and help cleanse the genepool.

what an ass munch........probably has a mullet........

I don't think anyone is trying to race you, I think they're just trying to get around your slow Jeep. After they pass you do they flash their hazards or do they keep driving past you, because maybe they're just driving faster than you and don't want to be stuck behind you? When I blow past guys who are driving slow it sounds like I'm racing because my exhaust is loud, but in reality I'm at like 1/4 or 1/2 throttle.

Also, is this a repost? I think I remember reading this same stupid thread about a month ago?

Okay then... (breath...) this is obviously another I hate imports thread posted by some dumb newb. You know, everyone has their own beef or bias towards cars. I like and dislike certain aspects about cars but I won’t post another "this is what I don't like" thread because frankly posing a question like that only incites immaturity and scorn, and secondly, I'm tired of doing that! (Ha, maybe I’m getting too old???)

Anyway, since this tool already started it up and considering that the backlash of feedback appears (to me) to be quite mature and civil (we all know this is just another dumb newb), I'm going to try relate an issue and pose a question which is (hopefully) more worthwhile that the original waste of letters.



So here is my issue; please share your thoughts:

What really, REALLY bothers me is when people use their loud exhaust tones to blast other people’s ears off as they pass them. Now I am generalizing as well as biased if I say its only young Civic, Integra, Prelude guys do this (because if a guy in a Vette or Stang does it its music to my ears), but for the most part in my area it is the younger dudes in their huge exhast-ed econo boxes or “sporty” cars that are doing this, and in epidemic proportions. I’m talking about the guys who stay close and keep up with you, in a higher gear, and then when you slow down to make a turn they drop it into a low gear and blast you in the ear as they drive off… some of these chumps will even do it in the opposite direction – you’ll be going one way just as the light goes green and the guy going the other way will start up normal and as soon as he gets lined up with your open window its WOT in the ear.

Does anyone else experience this or know what I mean (or do it themselves – fuckers! LOL). If yes to any/all, answer me this if you can… when people illicit this kind of behaviour are they doing it to show off their car and/or exhaust tone, OR, and they doing it to deliberately offend and anger drivers? I honestly cannot figure this one out. There’s been times when I’m in my 12 year old Subaru beater (quick little bastard for a 110hp 1.8 eh) and a guy in a newer econo box car with huge exhaust will pace me, buzzing away, will slow down when I try to let him go and speed up when I try to lose him, and then scream that motor by as I finally turn off… then there’s times when I’m cruising at night in my Z minding my own business and a guy will be cruising around me – we may line up at a light or he may pass me cruising and I’ll know he definitely doesn’t want to race, and then it’ll be time for me to turn off and sure enough I’ll get to hear that exhaust blasting me in the side of the head as he goes by.

One time I was cruising nice ‘n quiet me and this Prelude – totally minding our own business and I knew this guy wasn’t out to play – and he fucking rattled my cage so loud just as I signaled and slowed down to turn! I tore up beside that cock sucker's door so fast and started yelling shit at him (what you want to race, you call that exhaust, blah blah)… then I held gear at about 5000 RPM with the ass of my car right beside him, keeping it positioned as he changed lanes, tried to accelerate away – I made sure I got in front of him at the next light, and when it went green I made that little shit wait behind me (wanted the other cars to move along), and just as went to go into the other lane I let it rip and kicked up as much smoke and stone as I could.

Talk about flying off the handle, I know. But this guy totally shocked me – and why? Because he couldn’t or didn’t want to race? I know he didn’t want to, and I in no way tried to push or taunt him. He just freakin blasted me in the ear man! I still can’t figure what that was all about (I tried to ask, albeit yelling)… was he just showing off when he went by or did he want to piss me off? If he meant to it bloody worked.


Anyways, AF people, have you experienced this kind of phenomenon? What is it – showing off or trying to anger people. We could practically branch either answer off into separate threads but I just want to get a consensus.

With that comment, you're not proving to be any better than the original starter of the thread.

DVS LT1 - To answer your question, it's to show off. My friend does it all the time to any car on the street that should be fast (mustangs, camaros, Evos, vettes, etc). He'll drop down a gear, rev it hard, and then crack his BOV. All I do is sit there and shake my head like this . Even if we're driving along and he sees some hot girl, he'll do it too. It's all for getting people to look over. Or if someone is doing it on the side of you, then it's more than likely they want to try and race. But in my area it's mostly kids in Cavaliers who do it. I just ignore it and slow down if they're riding my ass (slamming on the brakes occasionally helps too ).
