I see your point here, but I give this thread a couple more posts before one of two things happens, 1)It will become a honda thrashing thread and get closed or 2) a mod will stop that from happening and close it right away.

[paranoidTSi]

Heh, I still think its funny..weither it gets locked or not.

 

[Coldandafraid]

[Blurred Talon]

Some of it is funny. Other stuff is wrong.

Oh, I'm a former Honda guys who smarted up and saw the light.

Yah, this was originaally a "imports versus domestics" list. Did you
add the "hotrodders" ,"ricers" thing or is just from somewhere else.

For example, i don't think there are too many DSM's w/ throttle steer but a whole lot w/ torque steer. Nice list though

 

[4geze63]

HANGOUT: Would have survived
GENERAL/NEWBIE: Will die

Funny though, I like the 12 point roll cage to mount more gauges :laugh: :laugh: Sounds like some DSM drivers

 

[Defiant]

And quickly, too.

Y'see, we just don't call things "rice" or "ricer", just like we don't use other once-common terms of blind, prejudicial, bigoted, perjorative and unkind ilk.

Even when they are ricers.
