Default I tried to be good....

I tried to make it all the way to work with out VTEC. You know, just a relaxing ride in with the cool morning breeze blowing through what's left of my hair. Each time I'd see an opening next to me, I'd have to say to myself "let someone else have it". I'd gone almost twenty miles, when temptation was just to great. I changed lanes and accelerated, still not in VTEC yet. As I passed the car next to me, I could hear the sweet melody of the F20C. I couldn't handle it any more! I punched it and screamed through then next three miles of twisties! Who needs coffee when you've got an S2000 to get your blood boiling?!

Hahahahahaha, that happens to me everytime I get in this car!

Always wondered what was the longest time that people drove without getting into VTEC land!

I think I last maybe 10 miles max, before that uncontrollable urge hits me!!

How funny! I actually tried this on my way to work this morning too but just could not do it. I was thinking about trying to go a whole tank of gas without doing it to see if I would get much more mileage out of it. If I can't even go a day then there is no way I can go a whole tank.

Hmmm, I think my doctor prescribed a dose of VTEC twice daily; once and once in the afternoon. It suppose to be a sure cure for depression.

With all the crappy traffic in LA, it's actually easy to go to work without vtecing. Sometimes, there's just too many people on the road to safely vtec.

I've been trying to see how high I can get my gas mileage by not flooring it at every green light... I haven't had much success at that either.
