Well, he did have a problem with axles literally exploding. The clutch and
tranny were heavy-duty enough to take it, but he couldn't find any axles
that could take the punishment. ;-)

Re: To EVERY Honda (and Other "Rice Car") Owner...
I would also like to say, what does a Dodge Viper have to do with
anything? I am referring to a Honda vs. a Camaro (of any model- stock or
not.) About the term "rice car" being "racist-" I ask you to remember,
that racism generally refers to the races (as in black and white- just
in case, you didn't know)- not to vehicles.
"Right is right, and right always wins."

we are all members of the human race and we better damn well start treating
each other as such or this whole gig's gonna go up in smoke yielding yet
another victory for the shadow people.

....sounds like something W could put into his new song "highway to baghdad"
