Seems like everyone that has posted here is fucking eggnoramous...


I've owned everything from an 11sec Camaro to a brand spanking new Nissan to a now Honda Accord. Not everyone that "modifies" every car does it to be "fast" or "race". I've seriously contemplated adding a pieced together turbo kit for my F22. For $1,2k I can have something that puts down 200-210whp, run at least mid-14's (possibly high 13's with some tinkering), carry four people comfortably, gets good gas mileage, etc. No, I wouldn't do it to fucking RACE, or think I'm "fast". I'd do it because I've got a 30min drive to and from work everyday and it would make the car a lot more fun to drive. A Honda Accord is just "what I happend to end up with" last time I bought a car and there's nothing wrong with wanting to make a little more fun to drive.


If I wanted a drag car I'd go get a Mustang/Camaro...not a Honda Accord.

I bought a Honda because I like to annoy everyone in a four mile vicinity with my empty tin can sounding exhaust. Who cares if it's fast, if I piss off 80% of the general population...well then my day has been a good one!

Here's to you, asshole!!
