Why does everyone want to race me?
I now have 350 miles on the car and have driven it to work everyday this week and it seems as if everyone knows that it is new and wants to race. I keep telling them that I have to break it in easily and they just laugh. Even a kid in civic tried to race me at a light yesterday evening. I just eased away with my ho-hum 3.5K rpm shifts.

I think the Sticker Package upgrade is for down force as well.
Be prepared, it never ends.

I mostly get rednecks in big trucks trying to race. They'll do brake stands and such. So I'll let them just take off. Once in a while I'll give them a little VTEC, but not very often.

I think it has alot to do with the way the car looks. I remeber those Celica comercials about a year ago where the old man is yelling at the parked car because it LOOKs fast.

I find it most amusing that most people have no idea what it is. So far I have had people ask me if it is the "new bmw", the "new corvette", a maserati etc. I thought the huge "H" badges would give it away, but apparently not.
