I don't know about anyone else in this club, but how come i've killed 2 hondas that look exactly like that black one? they were lowered with big wheels and tires... although one gave me a run for my money (cause screwed up shifting auto :|) I really like how those cars look, but i don't like any type of imports... most of the stuff is cheap as$ sh!t... yeah the engines last a long time, but it's all about what the engine is designed for. I know of plenty of guys who are running their 5.0 V8's with 200K miles on it and it still doesn't smoke or use oil! Dependable vs. speed... what do you want? economy = dependability... you do the math! why do you think hondas suck at street racing, but they are said to be very dependable? It's all about DESIGN!!
