Default why?

i dont understand why there is a hybrid section for our hondas and acura automobiles. i mean, who wants to talk about putting a 1/2 electric 1/2 normal engine out of an insight into a different car.

am i alone when i think thats just dumb?

when i saw your username at the bottom of the main page as being the newest member, i thought you were a tool.

thank you for validating my first insticts.

if you actually ARE serious, a hybrid in the PERFORMANCE world means taking an engine from one car, and putting it in another. like my 240 that has a skyline engine, is a hybrid. this forum has nothing to do with the hybrid honda cars.

lol, I think we get this question once every couple of months. I usually just say we are in the pursuit of better gas mileage.
