Ahhh... OK. I was hoping you weren't a new ager.

Rod.

 

Sure . . . if your definition of shoehorned is at least a turn or 2 behind the entire way, yea you were.
tsk tsk tsk . .its even happened to you, lww. you have honda syndrome. its takes over your mind. makes you think and do crazy things. like putting a pic of a yucket on your sig on a Z car forum . . .just plain nuts. i hear its cured with a good run through Pinehusrt whilst trying to keep up with a Z . . . .

 

I have to say...as I read it.....initialy this thread was about respect that we all expect should rightfully come to our Z cars. Then somewhere along the way it became a Honda bashing thread with some tid bits about them being reliable and the punks who drive them.

I feel I must present the third dimension to this thread...being that no matter how extreme our Z's become or how painstakingly original they remain if we talk about respect coming to us and our Z cars from other drivers then can we actually extend the same courtesy to others?

The fact is that not all Z drivers are the same neither are their Z cars. My point is that there have been some people on this site that have raised a few eyebrows here and there. We reserved our feelings about the people but still felt the same way about their Z's. Some were down right reckless idiots that had no business being behind the wheel of a Z let alone any other vehicle being powered by anything other then their own skinny legs. Deserving little respect if any.

So boys and girls...we want respect for our Z regardless of how it looks, sounds or performs. To us... it kicks a$$ and wether we like to admit it or not most would appreciate any acknowledgement. So why all the Honda bashing? I fully understand the idea behind "jumping on the bandwagon" as everyone likes to belong but this is getting a bit too much. Is it the cars or the people who RICE them out!

....and to anyone who questions whether I am daydreaming about being a Honda owner or whatever, please read my signature before embarassing yourself! After all, it is all about Respect!

 

I think that more than anything, it's just about having a "common enemy" and having a little fun. I doubt anyone here would really deny that Honda builds a quality car. It's just fun to poke fun at the shameless over-the-top efforts some people will go through in order to "trick out" their Honda. I know for me, it's just good natured fun. I've owned a couple of Honda's myself over the years and they were great cars. They just weren't "Special" (unless you mean the kind of Special" like in the "Special Olympics"). Now ya see... That was funny Seriously though... I don't think anyone should stoop to mean spirited personal attacks when it comes to car choices. Hopefully we're all adult enough to keep it on the light side.

Canadians

I'm just playing with you Nuc

I think I tried to get at that above but it didn't quite come out as well as yours did I'd say you explained that rather well.

Besides, I was starting to feel bad for all the suckers who have honda's in their sigs with all this bashing

Hey and that is kinda funny how the thread title is 'Respect' and 95% of it has been nothing but disrespect for someone or something. I'd say that's irony (used correctly anyways)

 

Thats strike 2 Rod.

Strike one was not laying out the guy who set his coffee on your car

 

You took that totally out of context... But I guess I'll take my lumps (3 please).

Rod.

 

All cool with me boys. .........and maybe I was taking it too seriously!

Hey J dont you just love our Canuck Beer...I bet it takes 1 or 1 1/2 to get you all 'Dazed and Confused!"

 

I say we all gang up on the Canucks!

Dang feriners!

 

I'm reading this thread and thinking one thing.....HI-JACK . It seems to have lost it's way somewhere along the way.

 

now I want a 1982 Honda Civic.

 

i can help with that . . . .

LWW HAS A RICED OUT HONDA DAILY DRIVER THAT HES IS PROUD OF ON HIS SIG!!!!! LET"M HAVE IT!!! its honda bashin time!

haha, i have always gotten a kick out of given that guy a hard time, i mean hes just askin for it . yes this thread was originaly about repspect for the Z car, but whenever honda bashing comes up, lww is gunna be the 1st to hear about it. if you're unsure as to why, look at his sig. all fun an games guys, all fun and games . . .

 

oh man, how have I missed all but the first page of this thread???? This sums it up:


LWW is a Honda Lover.

Canadians suck (but can down a few cold ones)

JfairladyZ drinks sam's choice soda. Toss me a mountain Lightning!

 

Dude, I wouldn't have gone there with the Canadian thing... that was just plain wrong. Let's try not to get too carried away.

Rod.

 

yeah that kinda talk is likely to make me get out of my igloo, hop on my bison and come over there with all the other Canadians I know to take care of business, ha!

 

You're right. I'm lovin' every bit of my Honda's 38 mpg and every bit of my turbo Z's 14 mpg...

 

i just read the entire thread, and all i have to say is that if i could afford it i would much rather get an s2000 than a 350z












let the honda bashing continue

 

I think I'm just gonna sit back with my Sams Choice and stay out of the rest of this one.

 

It's only because you've never driven one (either?).

The S2000 doesn't make 'fun' torque until VERY high in the rpm range.

It's a 2900 lb car with 240hp and only 162 ft/lbs of torque at 6500 rpm! And it costs ~$34,000!

The 350Z makes 'fun' torque at a much more useable rpm range.

It only weighs 3200 lbs with 287 hp and 274 ft/lbs of torque at 4800 rpm and it only costs $31,000 for the Performance package.

If you want a convertible, the 350Z is only $34,500 with an extra 200lbs over the coupe.

In my mind, that's way more bang for the buck. One of the things I hate about my Honda is it sucks for torque. Even though I've got it 'hopped' up to 170 hp, it still only makes about 137 ft/lbs of torque!

 

oh no . . . .this is a crazy world indeed . . the honda lover is an admin

must be that library of links he has stowed awayfor any possible question ever and then some. well, congrats i guess

 

Ok I take that back. Congrats lww Now every time someone types something you don't like you can remove it

 

All I'm sayin' Is that if you'd rather have the S2000, You must have some Yanni CD's in your collection because both his music, and that car put me to sleep.

Rod.

 

How can you sleep through the wail you have to endure every time you drive that car Rod
9000RPM's ain't a quiet note. At least you can turn the volume down on Yanni

 

There is a really interesting thread on the whole Z33 VS. S2000 saga in the Z33 section. You guys should check it out. I think I killed the thread though, because after I posted... all the trash talk immediatly stopped.

Rod.

 

We have a Z33 forum. WOW!!! I learn something new everyday
