Akshully, the honda was the best car I have ever owned...

Fun to drive, nimble, great honda engine that drove MINUTES at the redline when I used to race on the highway.
Took all the beatings we wanted to give her and she only asked for more.

I miss her a lot...

I too feel your pain...I am a founding member of RA (Ricer's Anonomous).....Please see the following...

My 2000 Saturn L100....

-Car Club that had a paintjob prerequisite
-Ebay racing seats
-Ebay 4 Point Harness (Yea, I pretty much looked like I was getting on a ride at 6 Flags every time I got in my car that had all of 145 HP)
-Color Matched interior (cant find pics)...never did get the smell of paint out
-17" Chrome [Enter Ebay no name Rim company here] Rims
-K&N Filter on stock intake tube
-Car Club name in such severe "Old English" writing that it was not even legible
Black on Silver Paintjob (could NOT see my reflection in it...but very affordable!)
-Ebay Catback exhaust
-Autozone Mesh Grill

Along with a few other gents- 1991 Acura integra and a 1985 300ZX- All with matching paint scheme's.

It was a long hard road but I then was turned onto the world of the 2JZ an bought a 2001 IS300 but sold to get the 350Z after realizing its just not as fun to drive a sedan.

I WILL say that my dream car (before the Z of course) was a 2006 WRX STi. With about 300 HP, 300lbs of torque, all wheel drive, and of course a nicely built factory turbo, I couldnt (<----note the past tense) think of anything I would like better.

You have got to lose any and all urges to put stickers on your car... the shocker sticker (really???) and then that fish sticker on the front bumper..... all that did was draw my eye back to the Tiburon's color mismatched side gills on the front quarter panel.

Remember, when you abuse rice you can suffer from rice-rage which obviously caused you to smash some wood through your hatch glass.



Before you think you're on the road to recovery or cured you better take a good long look in the mirror... or at least take a look at the Z. The wheels look a little on the rice side but I am impressed that you at least don't have stickers on the Z... but for christ's sake you really had to go get a job that requires you to stick stupid **** on your car...... you sir have a long way to go.
