Okay I think I've seen enough of this. I know your Accord is powered by Honda, hense the "H" on the hood, sides, on the hubcaps, all over the interior etc. etc. What the hell else would it be powered by?...Oldsmobile?
I mean this is academic. Should I put a huge POWERED BY CHEVROLET across my winshield or just assume the Corvette logos are sufficient for anyone whose graduated elementary school. I just don't get it. I asked a young kid the same at today at Exxon and he replied " why you being a hater Dog" What the hell does that mean? Maybe I am getting out of touch with my inner child or maybe I did NOT graduate from the public school system but went to a private school which is why I refer to my ex-wife as "ex-wife" as apposed to "my babie's momma" Sorry for the rant but I feel like the only educated person here in San Diego.
Oh I forgot have a great weekend or "be chill Dogs" :rolleyes:

 

Nope, you just have to roll your eyes and laugh. What a bunch of morons, especially when they speak. :lol:

Watch what you eat you'll get indigestoin. :D :U

 

I saw one that said Powered By Vietnam !! Can you believe that @#$@

 

Maybe we should get "powered by 93 octane"

 

HERE COME THE FLAMES BUT...being somewhat in the middle of generations I dont find the talk so stupid. For example "why you being a hater, dog" is the 00's equivilant of the 70's"why are you harshing my mello, dude". Just a new jargon that I find sometimes funny. Now the powered by honda thing I can agree with, but how many times have you seen a Mustang that has MUSTANG plastered across the front and back windows. Or any other obvious/cheezy car accessories, badges, etc. Dont get me wrong, I hate fart can/stickers/wing/ rice cars just as much as the next forum member, but I know guys who talk like you are discribing that are into muscle cars. "Are ya feelin' me dog?" :D :D

 

sorry man i gotta side with the ricer on this one. he's just feelin it cause honda is finally in the formula one, aren't they? and last i checked nicky hayden is pretty much kicking some AZZ in superbike championships. i saw that fool win a 750 race riding a honda 600. you gotta respect that man! you see, guys like "mr. ricer" at the gas station aren't necessarily trying to say their ricers are a phatter ride than your vette (they got nothin but love for that man), just that there is just as much tradition in the honda name, than in that of chevrolet, or even general motors. what other foreign auto maker had as much influence; as honda when they debuted their cyclonic vortex combustion chamber design in the first Civic and tore the american economy automobile market to pieces in the late 70's? you see, honda is about making efficient power from something that is reasonably sized, not like the gas guzzling 5.7 liter or larger engines in your or my vette. ever seen a 2.0 liter with a crazy cam and a powerful dual turbo system punching a little ricer past 300 HP? I mean I don't care what kinda car you drive, you gotta respect something like that. that's a friggin achievement of modern technology and automotive design. my '87 volkswagen has a 1.8L in it and pushes a little over 85 hp. can i even imagine that same car running with a little over 3 times its original power? no way! that would be insane! but these guys do it on a daily basis. another thing to consider is the power to weight ratio. i'll wager money that any ricer could beat a c3 vette off the line cause the ricers are so damn light!

this coming from a born and bred vette owner. what's the world coming to?!?

i just feel like sometimes we need to broaden our horizons a little and not get caught up in that whole "owning a piece of automotive history" thing with vettes, and just have a greater respect for automobiles in general. you know these days in california there are specially trained police officers that know stuff about engines, and they pull you over and take a lil' look under the hood-zee. i have as much respect for a ricer running illegal turbos as i do for myself, with outlaw pipes and no smog equipment. it's about bragging rights, baby, and it only comes a 1am on that lonely stretch of kearney mesa against a souped up supra that you just edge past at 120 mph in the other direction of traffic.

feeling big pride for naturally aspirated engines,

..but you know with those Hondas with all their modded power you know that when you come down to it that you know you are still driving a Honda.

Sure Honda makes a great bike, but those Honda cars are not powered by that bikes engine. Honda makes a great F1 engine, but that engine or anything close to it is not used in any production car. In fact you cannot buy that engine for any price, it only goes to "team" cars.

tom...

 

Thanks for the rant, Cali...I got a good laugh.
I remember my dad telling me that the music I was listening to was crap and would not stand the test of time, like Sinatra...I always had the Stones in one ear and Bob Dylan in the other...As I sit here tonite at age 55, Stones "Wild Horses couldn't drag me away" is in the background, all the way up !!
So be sure the Honda dislike is not you getting old. It's just a kid who likes making internally combusted machines go faster. Hmmm
There's too many other things that deserve our disdain...
like Enron and dog haters
and the Dallas cowboys :crazy: :eek: :lol: :seeya

 

Yo Dog !!!

Being Desertdawg I thought I would just chime in here :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Aside: Let's avoid commenting on feeling DollaGreen's "dog" for the remainder of the thread. :bb]

I'm ashamed to admit that I'm a member of this generation. My friends drive around with their lowered Preludes and winged Civics, painting their drum brakes and installing fog lights. It ain't pretty, but you just have to keep in mind that this trend -- like the modified vans of the '70s -- will pass. You really just have to sit back and laugh. One man's trash is another man's performance automobile.

When you see someone with a window banner, say, "Ohhh, so THAT'S A Honda Civic. I never would have guessed by all the badging."

 

blndweasel I understand where your coming from and myself own a 93 Civic which is a great daily driver with great gas milage etc. etc. And I have owned a 96 Honda V65 Magna when it was the king street bike and a 1994 FZR1000 so I know and respect *** quality but even if it was a C3 with a "POWERED BY CHEVROLET" I would still roast him. Thus I coined the term "master of the obvious" We all know who makes and powers these vechicles, personaly who F$#@ cares. Why would you put somethng so asinine on your windshield? If you have a Formula 1 engine in your Civic then great. If not realize you are driving the bottom basement "throw away" vechicle designed to get you from point A to B, nothing more. Sure you can soup them up and pull a 12 second quarter but who cares. I can take the lamest vecicle made, lets say a 1982 Lebaron wagon, with fake wood grain sides, and pull 9's all days long as long as I had serious $$$. As the cars came stock there is no comparison. Apples and oragnes. If you stopped at 7-11 and bought a 32 ounce paper cup of Pepsi would you spend $1500.00 to put a new paint sceame on the cup when it faided? Of course not. Throw it away. Same with the Hondas. I LOVE my Civic it is so relaible but once it gives me serious problems it's off to the yard to be converted to new Gillette blades to serve me in another way. :yesnod:
Resale, quality, increase in value that is what attracts me to the Vettes and other muscle cars. And lets not forget the unmistakable shape that NO ONE has duplicated. :cheers: :cheers:

 

What's wrong with going to public schools ! I'd rather hear kids say " hater dog then walk around with there nose up in the air thinking they are better then everybody else ! Maybe you just need to try to get to know them to understand ! Also is a American small car with a fart can and stickers called a ricer too or what do I need to came them ! ? Maybe domestic farts , American rice or baby hot rods , ect ? :crazy: By the way that is one more GREAT looking Vette ! Or as the punk kid would say RAD DUDE ! :seeya

 

You know, I could spend three or four paragraphs here, but I will just keep this long story REAL short and say Cali,77,L-82, you and I see the world through the same eyes, and to most of the posts here, :rolleyes:
