captaingamez Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Its funy cause its the hoardes of moronic Honda owners (that I definitely admit) that you hate, not the actual Honda. Its not like Honda made the cars and told american dickheads to put shitty fart cans, ebay side flairs, chrome rims, lambo doors, underglow, and all this other moronic crap And even beyond those idiots, theres the fucktards on Hondatech, I fully admit that the Honda world is full of fucking idiots. It is also full of legit people who know their shit, and a whole shit ton of legit people who track their cars and race successfully. Having a Honda, or being into Hondas doesnt immediately classify you in the "walmart tuning parts": category 1 Link to comment
HRH Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Actually, I will defend my favorite Honda of all time here. 1979-81 Honda Accord two door hatchback. LOVE those cars. If I could find one that wasn't rotted out, I'd buy it! Of course, I always did think about making it rear-drive and putting in a V6 but still. Great chassis, good looks, handled very well.

Jayden71 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 you missed the point, driving is not something that you should just "not mind" doing it should be an experience that the driver is involved with. I don't actually hate you it is more of an observation of cars that it is not possible to enjoy driving. lol don't take it all to seriously Jayden with your condescending baloony face guy all looking down on me with the utmost contempt. :rofl: I know what you mean, but you can't classify everyone who drives a Honda as a douchebag. Same with autos. My Accord is starting to really grow on me. I have had my hands all over the engine and brakes etc. It has personality to me now. It has proven itself in -50 degree weather in the oil field. Shes my baby now. I enjoy driving the auto 965 miles on my way home from work every month. I spend 16 hours a day shifting a 13 spd. Its nice to set the cruise at 80 and crank some tunes. Then when I get home I enjoy my 521 with a dogled 5spd! Don't be so quick to judge someone just because they drive an automatic Honduh.

Driftease Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I'll just say i have owned only one vehicle in my life with an auto and it was terrible I just get bored. Any time i go out to drive it is for fun even if im only going a mile to my new shop or 30 miles to my old job at the plants. I see that you and others have good reason to drive autos or hondas or both, talking about traffic and reliability and stuff but those don't make an enjoyable drive to me I like to hear my 6 hummin down the road, the sound it makes when i downshift it and put my rite foot to the floor. It's just orgasmic to me and i dont understand how to drive anywhere without being able to hear that. i wont even drive my wifes G35 cause it is an auto it just frustrates me. Im not saying anyone is wrong I just don't get it. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Having some experience in this, I can say that when you are younger you tend to not have much patience for an automatic. Perhaps you could even say that you don't have the ability to appreciate them as much as when you are older. Standard transmissions on the other hand you never get tired of at any age. This is perhaps because you can drive them hard or easy where an auto is just easy. Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 well i have tons of fun in my girlfriends 93 740il bmw with auto, its animal still with 300k+ miles, coolest thing with it is underneath the gas pedal once you think you have floored it there's a little button that let you go a bit further with the pedal and BOOM here comes the vrooom drops 2 gears advances the timing i believe and adds more fuel and air and will pull on anything next to you until you run out of gas or get to 150+ and you start to get nervous wondering whats around the next bend on the freeway.... love that auto Link to comment
Driftease Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Why would you want a button to get all the downshifting fun lol I just dont get it i dont care if it can fly to the moon as long as some engineer isint deciding when to shift it that is my job as driver. Link to comment
EricJB Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I have one of each for a DD. My ranger is a stick. Better mileage, better ride. better seats. My 77 620kc auto is bouncy, gets shit mileage, and the seats are rough on the back. But I drive it way more than the ranger. I used to hate auto's, but if the jatco died tomorrow. I would fix it instead of converting it. Auto Datto's have a weird cool factor. Link to comment

Driftease Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I am truly envious wish i could enjoy an auto, sticks are hard to get now and id like a new truck just not going to spend 30 to 45 k and not have any fun with it. Link to comment
captaingamez Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Only if its out of misinformed dumbness..... Trollaz gonna/gotta Troll.... I used to hate Autos, I also used to thing FWD was stupid. Boy have I grown up. Link to comment
HRH Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Fwd is stupid. Just sayin' :) 1 Link to comment
captaingamez Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 There is ZERO advantage to either chassis. Just sayin. B) Edit: let me rephrase that, Their advantages/disadvantages equal each other out. Link to comment

The downshift button isn't there for fun. Hell if you want fun you wouldn't have bought an auto in the first place. It's there to force a down shift for more power to pass or climb a hill. My '74 is the same way (although much lesser) and has an electric down shift button at full pedal travel. Link to comment
HRH Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Actually, FWD is a benefit for rally racing when compared to RWD. But which cars usually botch it and understeer into a ditch? Yep, fwd. ;) I still hate fwd in the winter. I prefer rwd. So much easier to control without the handbrake. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 FWD... saves gas, better traction but has torque steer, CV joints are expensive and wear out, have to remember to put snow tires on the front. RWD... just feels better being pushed. 1 Link to comment
captaingamez Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Most rear wheel drive cars have CV joints. Torque steer can be managed with an LSD, which is mostly standard now. As I said, they have their advantages and disadvantages Link to comment

Komeuppance Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I listed a car for sale in the classifieds with no troubles at all... maybe it's because RWD LSD turbo intercooled Mitsubishi. -Robert Link to comment
EricJB Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Mitsubishi is shit too. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Maybe. Link to comment
94EGCoupe Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Well this got incredibly off topic.... I think people who "hate" certain brands are retarded. Closed minded and not a thorough automobile enthusiast..... But then again, I am the "new" guy and a Honda owner. What the hell do I know. 2 Link to comment
