Default funny story..... My pops cracks me up

So today to my surprise my dad asked if he could borrow my car real quick to give somone a ride home. This was rare because my dad dosent really like the fact I drive a "honda" and actually dosent even like me parking it in the driveway. He's a big VW freak, and that pretty much all he drives. Soooo anyway he leaves to take them home, and I could hear him driving away. I hear him hit vtec in 1st, tires chirp, then again vtec in 2nd. (keep in mind I got a P73, so Vtec dont kick in till about 5700) Im just sitting at my computer laughing. When he gets back he just has the biggest smile on his face. He was like "Dang that Vtec thing sure does pull" Next thing I know my next door neighbor and him were out front talking by my car. He was like "Andy let me see your keys agian, Greg wants to go for a ride" Again I couldnt control my laughter. So he takes him for a ride around the block. LOL my dad is a funny guy. Makes me kind of sad Im selling it.

Now that is one clean EK bro! Why you selling? And you park that outside? That kinda sounds like my dad, but he's a driver's ed teacher so he tries to be talking all safe while he's driving all fast. Dad's are weird like that sometimes. Good luck selling!

I've had a similar experience, my dad is always hatin on me cause of the things i do to my SI and driving fast and all... One day he asked me to use my car to drop off a friend, so he pulls out the drive way drives up the street some to the next stop sign, then all you hear is the sound of a b16 rev up and a car peeling out.... I was like WTF and just started laughing. Its funny because my dad is always yelling at me not to peel out cuase i'm wasting tires...

Poor tranny Poor clutch, Poor gas mileage... lol

That hatchcrap is the EXACT HONDA I've ALWAYS wanted to build up... That makes me so sad, I've always wanted an EK hatch and I've always wanted it to go fast, when Gran Turismo came out I saw that type-r and I went crazy for them... Then I started looking into civics and stuff (just before the great rice attack struck here) and right when I started learning all about civics and swaps and stuff everyone around me told me hondas are gay little 4 cylinders that can't touch any domestic and ****... I (and many of you) will agree that a civic is really no match for a true domestic (talkin like chargers/challengers/gtos/superbirds and whatever else) but these little 4 cylinder rice buckets are so god damn quick for how teeny tiny the hp is if you just work internals and change TB, manifolds, cam(s) and **** you can actually start thinking about taking domestics... and if you swap and do that or turbo you can WHOOP *** on domestics Point being, civics are sexy and hatches are badass

My dad used to hate it when I use to waste tons of money on my old car and say it was retarded. He used to say I was going to blow my self up with that bottle of nitrous but yet he helped me get the relay wired up right. He once told one of his friends that was building up an El Camino that "My son can beat your car with his civic" Guy was not to happy with my dad.

ok my dad's not that bad, but when me and my dsm buddies had our hoods popped, my dad looks and sees "dohc" on both engines.
"so you guys all have motors made by the same people, eh?"

at least he tries though.
