That is the GT-R "BLACK Edition".

Notice how its not all Black except where it enhances the effect. You can pick from around 6 colors IIRC.

Funny thing is, I like yellow.
I just don't relate to 911 Turbo Haters.

I don't understand what goes through other peoples' minds when driving...

I was coming out of the parking lot for an off-campus building, turning right onto a busy road. Here I am sitting at the end of the driveway, turn signal on, just waiting for traffic to pass so I can pull out.

A guy in a beat up Chevy signals that he is turning into the driveway. No problem, plenty of room...you could fit a dump truck in there. The guy comes almost to a complete stop in the road then makes the slowest turn into the driveway possible...then blasts his horn at me and shoots me a dirty look.

I think he expected me to go out in front of him, which wasn't going to happen with vehicles behind him.

People make no sense.

I'm glad I don't commute - my blood pressure would be even higher than it is now

The few times I do have to drive in town here I look like most of the time!

Its official. The 2012 Civic has arrived and confirmation that it does not have a center-exhaust on the Coupe and 200 HP. (thats a whopping 3HP increase, although Torque is now 170 something from 123)

I'm on the way to work this morning, I'm traveling 40-45, the speed limit is 40
I'm coming up on a gas station, a car is exiting the pumps and headed to road
As I get closer to this car it is looking more and more like he is not going to stop
I'm now really close, this car needs to stop before pulling out onto the road in front of me
Now I'm even closer, WTF, the car slows slightly, then jumps out onto the road
I can slam on my brakes, or, I can downshift and floor it and blow past him in a wild pass
I downshift, then plant the throttle to the floor
As I go wizzzzzzzzzzzing past his door I lay on the horn
He jumped out in front of me so close that when I went buy him he had not even completed the turn onto the road I was on, in other words his car was still turning onto the road I was on
I know full well he saw the truck, he just assumed he could pull out and I would slam on the brakes
F'ing retard
After I got in front of him, and I made sure I returned to my lane as close to him as I could get, I noticed he backed way off, did not want to get close to me at all
People don't f'ing think

I would have liked the interior better if they had dropped the double stack
I really greatly prefer this, the CR-Z dash layout
To me it just seems tighter, sharper, better, easier, sportier
