Fast Hondas have an image problem. From The Fast and the Furious to the “VTEC just kicked in, yo!” meme, our cars have become associated with an unpleasant stereotype: ignorant, obnoxious drivers; street racing; and the infamous “fart can” exhaust.

True Meaning – The 2011 Fall Boston Mountains Tour
We got word from fellow news team member, JulieU, that a write-up was brewing from one of the crew that attended the 2011 Boston Mountains Tour (BMT). A significant other and forum member, Ms. Goes Fast, was so inspired by the event that she wrote a speech for a class project about the Boston Mountains [...]
The Sacrifice
Nobody else drives my car, ever. Except when they do… I’ve tried to stick to this rule since I purchased my NFR in 2009.

Flashback – Articles From the Past
Over the past weekend we received a PM from a member who short-listed their favorite articles and asked us if we could publish them. Seeing how these articles are representative of the community and also considering that we are heading into the holiday season, we felt it would be appropriate to republish links to these [...]
Soul Searching – An S2000 Owner Eulogizes Steve Jobs
My roommate at Dragon Ball Run XI, ofsalesmen, wrote this essay upon the passing of Steve Jobs. I trust that you will enjoy reading this as much as all of us at the news team did. Having read it, I am sure that you too will come to appreciate and possibly theorize, like we did, [...]
