If your objective is to ridicule when you have nothing intelligent to reply then there is no point to discuss with you

And I did not edit the last post, hence the grammar errors
I'm not asking to ridicule you. It has nothing to do with your grammar or spelling. You make statements that don't seem to make any sense. I understand what you are trying to say only because I get the gist of this thread.

Should that really matter
Don't you want to know why Ginaprincess writes like a 15 year old? Is it because of a language problem or is it because Ginaprincess really is 15, which would explain the fanboyism.

I work with some 40 year olds that can't spell too well either. E-mails and documents replete with errors.

That aside, keep things civil guys. Why knock on someone's inability to spell. He/She could be 15 or 50....do we really care?

If you don't like someone's posts or find em offensive, just hit the ignore button. Or else take it easy and move on. Surely there are other topics on this forum that are more interesting.

So to answer your question, I have no personal interest in who she is or the degree to which she is a Honda fanatic. All I like on here is banter and lets keep that friendly

Glad someone else noticed this.

i used to have an SI
it handles pretty well, but I couldn't stand the DBW in that car

the DBW in the s2k is SOOOOOOO much better than in the SI. I heard you can fix it with Hondata's flash pro, but from the factory i wanted to shoot myself

i work at a honda dealer so i drive the cars every now and then, and i have to say the new SI is just crap. not only is it hidious, but it drives like shit, and i think thats mostly due to the drive by wire. anyway i just cant even believe anyone would have a tough time choosing between a automotive masterpiece (s2) and a ugly, cheap, poorly made civic

I think the current Si is neat but outclassed by many cars that are within its price range. (Which is the case for nearly all Hondas)

I miss my 94 Prelude VTEC. Best shifter in the world. Like butter. Didn't handle as well as my S2K but I liked that car.

Funny how perception works. I'm coming from a Toyota MR-S and one of my favorite things about the S2000 is how practical it is. I forgot what a trunk was like, among other things.

As for any Si talk, Honda has nuetered the concept. My first car back in 2000 was the first of the new-school Civic Si's and it was exactly what you'd expect. A simple car with a great engine. Test drove a 2009 not so long ago and it felt heavy, slow, and generally pretty boring. I did note that it would be a good DD because it had great road manners, but I didn't feel any Sport Injection at all. My conclusion would be save a few grand and just get the EX.

the si doesn't even compare to the s2000 in any way

i sold my si a few months back and don't have 1 regret now that i have an s2k. The transmission is so buttery smooth in the s2k, whereas the si's tranny wasn't directly connected to the shift lever

everything felt mushy and disconnected. The S2k is so pure <3
