14) Your mom used to drive you and your siblings to school in your "performance car."

Whoops, I made a typo. That was meant to be "How to tell if you're a ricer" but my fingers kit the wrong key! That is, S instead of E

Is it possible to edit the title of a thread? Does anyone know how?

I'm a bit concerned about "You think horsepower is more important than torque". It is!

Oh, and I worked out that the thread title was a typo. No penance required

Is this actually true or not? I guess people have perpetuated this stereotype that everyone who drives a VTEC Honda thinks it god's gift to engines... but I don't think I've met anyone like that yet...

Only one person I think has thought VTEC was really good, and he doesn't drive anything performance related, or imported related i guess....
