You should have told him it was the new Porsche Type S. Whenever someone asks me that question that's the reply they get. Much to my surprise, most people believe it too, even though the Honda badges are in clear view. Some people are just gullible I guess.

Not me, I'm totally proud to drive a Honda. I'm even turned off by the fact that Honda felt it necessary to badge the NSX an Acura for the US market.

If people

I wasn't trying to race him at all but he felt that it was necessary to show some power. While I know an S2000 is no match for a Viper I thought it was funny that he was friendly when he thought I had an exotic and then suddenly got stuck up when he realized it was a Honda. While he was standing still turning sideways making a lot of noise I was two blocks down the road! He thought he was going to show me up but instead he looked like a jack- ass.

" It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a quarter mile, a win is a win" Vin Diesel

Hahah, no, but really, it was his fault for the launch and when people drag race and get off the line slow or red light, it doesn't matter what the car had. It still goes on the boards as a wing. Good job man.

I also hate how people say oh it's a Honda? But when they talk about the Integras and stuff they say oh ok that's cool. Duh?!?!?! Name brand whores who have no basis of facts on their decisions. It's thinking like this that allowed Companies to drive up prices using their sub-name. I wonder how much more respect we'd get with A badges??? Actually NO, I don't care.

I drove next to a lime green Lamborghini Murcielago a few days ago while dropping off some of my lighted windscreens at FedEx. When the guy finally looked over I said "Nice ride", only to get a "Yeah, yeah, whatever..." look as he quickly turned away. I'm always happy to get a "Nice car" compliment, but sometimes the larger the car's cost the larger the ego. Sad, but all too often true...
