Never happen. As a matter of fact us Sebring owners are independent thinkers. I suppose that's appropriate as we also own the best color.

Did you by chance notice that the Honda Emblem is Silver. Doesn't that tell you something. Not black, not spa, not red but silver. Honda defines itself with silver as does Sebring, as in Sebring Silver.

I rest my case.

(next controversy)

The tires are Kumho 712.
The rims are OZ Supperleggeras - one of the few rims that properly fit this car.
I just put Kumho 712's on my rear. I knew I liked them for some reason!!

Don't forget...we also have mathematical proof that BERLINAS are the fastest colour....

Sadly it also proves that spas are one of the slowest....
Sorry, but your theorem is flawed and therefore invalid. Following Einstein's Theory of Relativity, if the Berlina reflects no light, it would achieve the mass of a black hole instantaneously. Relative to the black hole that your car would become, everything else around it would be moving much quicker. Black holes suck, ergo Berlinas suck.

Too bad you own a Silverstone. We could use you on our side.


I'd have expected brainpower like yours to make the natural choice of Sebring.

Everything would be moving very quickly...towards the black that is AHEAD of them ...

Here's some real controversy for you. What do you think of Prince Harry wearing a Nazi uniform and a swatstika to a costume party last weekend? To further fuel the fire, here's the link to the story in the New York Times.

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/13/internat...13cnd-roya.html

Personally, I think it is a disgrace. I'm not sure what should be done, but I don't think the planned visit to Auschwitz is anywhere near enough.

(Some real controversy, maybe this should be a thread by itself? What do you think?)

That is funny when you read it. Kind of like Princess Lea (however you spell it) and her buns on the sides of her head. I have tires on the sides of my hips

Sebring may be the "natural" choice for some, but I went with the correct choice.

I think the kid is misguided, has no real parental guidance and cannot find anyplace to get away from the media glare. Even the contents of this kid's trash is public knowledge. His choice of costume was in horribly poor taste (to say the least). However, it is the constant voyeurism by proxy practiced by the public that brings all these things to the forefront. I certainly do not think he was making any kind of political statement in his choice of garb. A trip to Auschwitz would probably do him good. He's apologized and I think any controversy about it should die.
