I've been clowned multiple times by dumbass domestic owners, of how shitty my car is because it stalls after 30 seconds of me getting out of it, when I explainend to them about the turbo timer they are so living backwards it makes them laugh more.

Re: Most common comments made by (mike93eh2)
i grew up in a "car modifying" family so i never got it from them. I also surround myself with people with the same interests so never got it from them either.
i used to get the comments from outsiders.

Re: Most common comments made by (dirtySOHC's)
My parents are pretty accepting of it, they know that it is beyond an obsession for me and they are supportive of the fact that it's just what I like to do.
Most common one I get is mostly from people who don't really know the extent of it, something along the lines of "why are you always working on your car if it's not really broken?" or "why do you need all that **** for your car, its fine how it is".

Hahaha! I totally understand this now... I tore my engine down thinking I'd have it up in a week or two... then ordered custom pistons... decided to have it bored a bit... etc, etc, etc. Now it's been down for about 2 months already *laughs*

Re: (LoSt is BlaCk)
fortunately for me, my family finally shut up about it. There's no exchange of words anymore about my Honda. I think they finally understand that they will never know what it's like to have a boost bug.

Re: (narfdanarf)
Friend: Why are there pieces of your interior missing?
Friend: What are all these wires by my feet?
Friend: What the hell does that number mean? (referring to my wideband gauge)
Friend: Does your car still stall out all the time?
Stupid Friend: Why don't you just pay someone X dollars to fix your car?
Dad: Anything new leaking?
Grandpa: How's the supercharger running?

Re: (borat)
Girls I take for rides: "What smells like gas?" "OMG I'm gonna die" "It's loud" "Why's it so bumpy" "Where's the backseat?"
Mom: "Don't blow it up cause no one can bail you out" ...my favorite..."Drive careful, the cops are out thick tonight"
Dad: "You need to put the factory parts back on" "Buy a new car with a warranty" "When are you going to paint it?"
Friends: "What's the story on the turbo?" "Is the turbo on yet?" "What parts do you still need?" "How much boost you going to run?"
People I race: "That's a fast Honda" "That thing a 4 cylinder?"
People outside the bar: "You ain't got the hair on your *** to burn the tires!"
I love how dumb people think that nothing can beat a Mustang.

i get the whole shebang,
when is it going to be off the jack stands?
how much was that?
what is that for?(after the previous question)
do you really need that?(after the previous two questions)
what was that loud noise when you shift?
why is the radiator so big(nieghbor)
can you fix your exhaust or put it back on. (full exhaust here, just turbo)
what is the point of dumping all this money into a 15yr old car when we have an 05 TSX and Sport Trac.
