Background:Went to ZCON 2004 in LA. At Willow Springs, Mr K showed up and was signing stuff. I had my helmet, got him to sign it.Funny thing is, my helmet says "Honda" on the back! Ha!

The event was a blast... i mainly stuck around TT.net members... all of which were very cool. Not a single "Hondas suck" or "Fords blow" type comments. They even had a Dromo1 event (indoor karting)... someone let me participate in the event, so I took first out of 40ish other drivers...since they didn't let me run my honda with them at Big Willow (::grumbles::). Honda/Nissan guy wins a TT.net event, and doesn't even own a Z32! Very good drivers at the Dromo1 event too! It was a blast overall! one of the best car specific events i've ever been too

ok, not really, but he's probably a well rounded auto enthusiast in general.

to be anything less is foolish.

I like hondas, it's just that I like torque better:D (fear my pushrod! mwhahahaha)

I do miss my Acura though, damn tree...

See, what you don't know is that the kanji next to his signature translates to "Hondas are Gay".

well, aside it not being a logo... you might have a point... considering he's like, 94?

Quote »if he did, he would have did a number in your helmet for sure. [/quote] Doubt it... he's a car lover. not a NISSAN nazi. It's well know he enjoys the DRIVE and car scene... not a manic brand loyalist. Which is why i think he's a pretty cool guy in my eyes.

I'm sure your buddy's honda represents every honda in production and existance. Including the S2000s, the Honda-Challenge prepped cars, the WC-TC cars... etc, etc.

But, you're allowed to hate an entire marque. It's just foolish to hate an entire marque without any vast experience or knowledge.

At Sema last year a buddy got the Car designer(forget his name) for the Fast and the Furious 2 to right "Honda Sucks" on his poster:). He asked Mario andretti to put "NASCAR sucks" on his poster but all he did was laugh:) and sign only his name.

i dont get why people hate honda. they make good cars, which makes their downfall that they are common as hell and u see them everywhere u look. and that dumb idiots like to throw some lowering springs on and an exhaust on their civics thinking that the exhaust will boost their horsepower like by 20. when in reality adding just the exhaust isnt goin to make any noticable boosts in performance. so here they are thinking they are all badass when they are just really a dumbass

Most of us don' "Hate" Hondas. We simply dislike ricers. Besides most of the Honda bashing in this thread is done jokingly.

Yeah, it's kind of like my "hating" on Lexus.

I respect what they've done, but it's just like sports teams or anything else - You have your favorite team, you have the "arch-enemy", and it's all part of our competitive nature as men.

p.s. Lexus sucks. :)

Brand loyalty.

I used to hate Ford. They still piss me off but you'll typically find me defending them.

p.s.- nobody bring up all that interior sucks, build quality...transmissions blah blah blah, I know this, I drive one:D

they have brought us some of the best engines ever though.

ok, so the Flathead really isn't good at all, but it's neat:D
