unlike alot of other car manufacturers honda and other import brands engines are mainly focused around electronics. i think that is y the cars dont last as long as an american brand that focuses on the engine.

ex: i saw a civic that looked like it had a birds nest of wires in it and was about to say sumtin the guy until it ran low 11's and then decided to keep my mouth shut.

i think that the philosophy with these cars is race until u have enough money to buy a new one or until it craps out and u have to take the bus.

I've read this post at least 5 times, and I think I do have it finally figured out.

Some clarification is required, at least for me, on the following points:

1) Japanese manufacturers only focus on electronic equipment and not engine techology?

2) That American built vehicles are more durable than Japanese counterparts?

3) That all consumers of Japanese vehicles purchase them to race them?

4) That the poster is trying to send a message to Honda, hence the reason for the post in this arena. What is this message?

Have you talked to your gentleman friend about this?

(Sorry, couldn't resist. And since this thread seems to be going nowhere, I thought, "what the heck!")

Perhaps we could move this to Off Topic?

Some with mad Photoshop skillz needs to edit this image to replace "Honda-Tech" with "s2ki.com":
