Default There is hope for us Accord owners!!!

Everyone is always hating on Accords saying "they are too heavy" "with an h22 that thing is gonna weigh 4000lbs" "that is too heavy to ever handle well at a track."
Well I have good news. Last night b16supertuner and I went to a truck scale in Grand Rapids and weighed my car.
We weighed my 96 accord sedan with no interior,no a/c, no ps and between 1/4 and 1/2 tank of gas.

did you know that in Africa from 99-01, you could get a USDM styled accord (inspire) w/ a rotating turret assembly that was placed directly on top of the sun roof for urban combat as an OEM optional accesory?

Maybe, although that BMW sold in Africa did come with optional flame throwers on the side skirts.......so, you never know.

I honestly didn't know BMW made flame throwers/flame thrower technology either......

And for that matter, I can't understand why someone would ever want to have a flame thrower as a weapon, "yeah, strap the large tank of gas to my back and give me the flame.........yeah, yeah I read the operating manual, no problem"

It looks cool but, I can't imagine any type of fighting scenario where that would actually be useful.

A flame thrower is a very useful weapon when it comes to house to house fighting, or even when it comes to clearing obstacles, there really is no cover from a flame thrower...the best thing about its use is that in jungle scenario's it can burn up vegetation and other such items that can be used for cover and camoflage...
