OK

I have to admit that I had my doubts about all the claims that the car's performance improves dramatically with age (I mean, it seemed pretty sweet to me right out of the box).

I'm now a believer. Performance is improving dramatically, more than I could have imagined.

Just ran into an Integra that wanted to show off. I figured I'd shock him - just didn't realize I'd shock myself as well. The car just FLEW. So much faster than the last time I gave in to my baser instincts and raced light to light. And, best of all, for once I got a near perfect launch (my new theory is that it's all about having a more sensitive and "feathery" touch on the gas in the milliseconds after you drop the clutch).

Oh... and for all you kids out there... don't try this at home; people like me are bad; it was against my best judgement; I was wrong. Racing on the street is bad bad bad. But then why does it feel so good...

Oh yea, the car definitely gets better with age...and not only does the car get better, the more you DRIVE the car, the better friends you become and you understand how to drive it to squeeze all that goodness out of it.

All you new owners have lots to look forward to! It's quite a ride...
