I agree on "it is the driver, not the car" - but - it has been my experience that the Vette (maybe not all the Vette owners ), NSX, and over $50K Euro owners don't push their cars on public roads unless it is a straight away and there are no signs of cops. They usually reserve things for the track or mountain twisties. However, I was out with a small group of M3's yesterday and that was nothing but tire squeeling all over the place

I can't say that I absolutely hate any car - I appreciate a purpose and every car has one. Now, there are many drivers who don't understand their car's purpose.

On a lighter note, I came in 3rd overall (out of ~500) this past weekend at the BMW Homecoming Driving School road course portion. I'd love to meet you on an on-ramp.


But I don't like ricey Hondas, scions, primer cars of any variety and the jackasses that most likely drive them. I can respect any car that is fast though.

well then congratulations, youre not one of those drivers.

1. Any supercharged 8 cylinder car that can barely beat a turbocharged 4 banger.
2.240's..for the simple fact they are WORSE than civics now...u got two people runnin around virginia beach the license plates "LET DRIFT" and "LV2DRIFT" and are still rockin the factory hubcaps,and suspension
3.DOHC VTEC hondas...anyone who brags about being able to rev to 8500 and above..and shorten the life of their engine everytime.
4. most vw's...for some reason..they dont appeal to me...u dont see too many around here coming out and representing...and the ones that do are like 15 years old.
5. Anyone who goes out,and spends anywhere over 25,000 for their vehicle..and tries to hate on hondas....and gets beat by someone who spends 2,500 for their car,and another 2,500 to make it faster than that other persons...(talkin to the subbie,mitsubushi people mainly)
6.Ford,and GM owners that always have something to say about 4 cylinder cars/engines.
