They just want to look fast, and drive as fast as their I4 will take them. To the .01% of honda enthusiasts that truly tune and repect their car and other drivers, I apologize.
Could be an east versus west difference. I see way more Bimmers, Lexus, Infiniti's, Audi, Volvo, MB's car jammin. Last night going home from work a 3 series Beemer cut across 3 lanes to get his exit forcing us all to hit the brakes. But I'm in the Boston area which is the 4th highest per capita income area. Ask the average Bimmer guy what a cam is? A guy at work with an Audi A4 had to have his car towed because his accelerator was malfunctioning. Turns out the floormat was pushed up against the pedal. He thought he had a sudden acceleration problem. My point is there are poseurs in all classes. The real deals are out there.
