I was stopped at a party store by an older gentleman and he ended up owning a Grand national and a Corvette and he knew what the car was and was interested to talk.
Employees of body shops and inspection stations along with co-workers and strangers at gas stations continued to gush over my red sedan until the day I traded it in last week. None of the other two-dozen-plus vehicles I've owned have drawn such attention. I still got lots of looks, but I think it had more to do with being a shiny, bright red car that always looked showroom-new than being a Civic Si.
I get a few looks in the Accord, too, but that's because it's challenging to avoid loud, embarrassing, squealing, one-wheel-peels due to the 2.0T's torque and lack of a limited-slip differential.
I thought I was a cornering genius when I first got the car before I realized the LSD was "helping"...
Having never driven a car with an LSD before, corners are a completely different animal with an LSD and tight suspension.
Anyone here ever drove a Prelude SH? I know they supposedly used some kinda weird setup that greatly improved cornering.
Don't give up. I got my wife from my wheels years ago (maybe not totally... but it didn't hurt). I knew it was love when I got a more boring car and she stuck around.
If a girl likes you because of what you drive you've got a problem.
4-wheel steering. Most Japanese manufacturers toyed with it in the 80's and 90's. GM offered it on some full-size trucks and SUVs for 2002-2005. There's been a small resurgence in car applications in recent years.
Any luck with dudes, though?
That's funny, right there...I don't care who ya are...Any luck with dudes, though?
Yes, I remember this 4-wheel steering in H9nda Prelude many years ago.
