Is that a four speed?
I'll never understand why anyone would want a car like this with anything but a proper manual. I've driven a couple cars with paddle shifters (one was a GTR, the other was a 2013 911 and it had thumb actuated switches on the steering wheel instead of actual paddles) and didn't care for them (although, they both yielded rifle quick shifts). Please, just give me three pedals and a stick.
Exactly. While I understand the technical argument for the fancy automated manuals, I think a car loses its 'soul' in the process. A driver should be involved and planning gear changes, not just stomping on the gas pedal.

I was washing my car the other day and a guy came up to me asking if it was a Porshe.

Was driving through Ann Arbor with the wife last weekend with a black 350z tailgating the crap out of me. Stop at a stop sign and the dude crossing the street points at me and yells "nice dude I love those cars!!" I turned around and the Z driver had the most pissed off look on his face then revved. Lolz

Guy #1: Those Hondas are twin turbo.

Guy #1: Yep, the engine is built by JDM.

I was leaving work yesterday and this lady walks by as I am getting in my car and says "I love your car and I can't believe it is a Honda"

My girlfriend's mate always makes negative comments on other people's stuff, after first seeing my s2000 she said it was nice, then, she came back 5 mins later and said to me "You can't fit all your friends in your car!" well no shit Sherlock! I thought it was a 5 seater!

When I went to fill up for gas the other day, the gas attendant was smiling and saying how this car needs premium and if I put regular in I would be replacing the engine tomorrow. Lol I'm like.. Well it would probably be fine with regular but it does say premium required right on the gas lid. Lol
