Ack...what did mingster find out, so rudely?

BTW, I have the same problem, every low-speed turn I take, I want to squirt the back end out, and every time I pull out from behind some bozo in a Volvo at a consistent 10-under I'm not happy unless I see the RPM display thrown to the right...

Maybe. I figured swapping the B for another letter made more sense than extra letters. Besides, 2kKornot2k used to be my user name on the old HA-Net site - 2VTECornot2VTEC would have been too long. However I'm long overdue for a change so I may come up with something a little different.

If I don't regularly vtec I get a serious case of vtec frustration which generally leads to not eating, depression and feelings of guilt. Be careful out there.

Perhaps Honda should have a disclaimer to protect themselves legally(?)

1.If you have addictive tendencies, v-tec may not be for you.

2.If you have a heart condition, please consult your physician before engaging v-tec.

any others I'm forgetting?
