I can't say, " Hey six speed, your mom gave me some good VTEC last night, thank her for me"

I hope you weren't trying to give an example of VTEC as a verb. You definitely have a noun object there in 'give me some VTEC'...!
The correct use of the "verb" would be ......................Your mom and I VTEC'd last night.
(Wrong use of the term, though.)

technically VTEC isn't really even a verb in any way, shape, or form. technically "VTEC" is ALWAYS on and working. we just use it as a commonly accepted verb/action.
and by the way, if you try and VTEC when the engine is not warmed up, you will hit what we call, the moron limiter. as in, you'd have to be a moron to want to rev this car up that high on a cold engine. so the moron limiter kicks in and saves you from yourself.
