Re: the honda tuning community as seen by the outside world
i was in our auto-shop toolroom the other day, and i had control over the tools.. i straight up refused to give one of the mexicans in my class a screwdriver and the key to the soldiering cabinet - he wanted to put on white gauges 
but i do like being the underdog, and how when ppl see my honda it's "just another honda"
although, I had some Ford-driving redneck harrassming me for no reason earlier this week on my way to school.
car was still cold so driving a little slow and shifting at 2k- im trying to go a little fast cuz im late for school, and a white pickup gets in front of me. he's going about 40mph (its a 35 and you can easily drive 50 and not get pulled over) so i switch lanes to get around him.. he swerves over with no signal. i try again into the other lane and he does it again. i look into his cab through the rear window to see him giving me a thumbs down/middle finger. first thing i think is "wtf?" and after 10 seconds of this i give him the finger too.
he then takes off and i downshift and keep right up with him. we go down the hill and get to stop light. im right behind him and notice a "Flareside V10" on the back. im like "wtf this little dinky pickup doesn't have a v10" (it actually does, but it weighs 6000 lbs
). im assuming this bitch wants to race so i've got the ebrake on (bottom of a hill), first gear in, revving 2k and i've warmed up by now. light turns green.. he just gives it normal gas like nothing. again, wtf.
we get up to about 30mph and i see his car do a little dipping and he takes off, i scramble to change from 5th to 2nd and the tires break lose at 7k for a bit to 8k, shift 3rd.. by the time i was actually accelerating he has a couple car lengths on me, but isn't gaining any more. top out 3rd and im closing @ about 100mph (i was ------- heated at this guy..) and he steps on the brakes so i put it into 5th and brake.
i catch back up right behind him and i get more thumbs down and middle finger and is now throwing wrappers and garbage out his window at me.. wtf..
i manage to get next to him, downshift to 3rd (50mph now) but he doesn't gas it at all. so i give him the ricer-flyby for being a dick.
once my turbo's in, im sitting on the side of the road looking for his red-neck ***.
and no im not a ricer. lowered 2" on tokico coils, no muffler (stock exhaust), stock/fading red, no stickers or anything.. 220whp and with me in the car (and 10" sub, backpack, misc ----) its 2453lbs. he's got about 300bhp/350btq and 59**lbs
before it all started, i was just driving speed limit and shifting low, so once he started doing this i was like "uhh.. whats ur problem?"
