My point is that its not just fbodys, chevrolet has a much larger renowned racing heritage than honda, or even a majority of the manufactuers. the old salt flat racing with the belairs and the old ford coupes, that is heritage, they made history down there.

As far as other people driving honda cars thats fine, that is what suits you best, it dosen't suit me though.

Also i was talking cars, i would totally drive an R1. but ive also been looking at the ducatis. A bike is also a lot harder to drive every day in washington.

Without a question, but to say Honda doesn't have any racing heritage is idiotic, even coming from an old school muscle car buff. Even my father (old old bugger) knows this.

Honda makes good products no doubt. Ever wonder why things like Honda generators and cars tend to cost a little more then the competition?

Yup. I'm like those Halls Fruit Breezers. [Jamaican]I got two jobs![/Jamaican] No, I'm kidding. I'm a Product Consultant for Ford. In essence, I'm a sales person, and a d*mn good one at that.

My 'other' job, I'm a part-time assh*le. Very lucrative business, difficult to get into, but if you can do it, it's a hell of a lot of fun.

Either job is all about psychology. Selling, make the customer feel good about their purchase decision... mental ownership is a powerful vice. Psych is also involved in being an assh*le. You notice girls always go for the ********? I've perfected it.

Getting a rise out of people is just my job on here.
