Well.. I got several 'Funny' things going on during the last 6 months of having my R.. here's some of them....

1. I was waiting for my sister and I parked the R in front of a restaurant. A couple of old ladies(maybe 60+) were staring at my R while they are waiting for their car..
and one of them said: "oh what car is this? looks nice.. I've never seen one", and the other says:"Ooh this must be that new mustang.."
after 1 minute or so, they began debating(with the style of old women's stubbornness)
I heard the other one say that his son got a new mustang and it don't look like that..
Finally, I walk toward them with a smile and say: "It's an Acura.. Integra Type R.."
They nodded and smile... (boy do I feel proud)...

2. I went back from AutoCross today.. soaked and hungry... so I stopped by the gas station, get a couple of Hot Dogs and park at the Carnegie Mellon University parking lot... then from the back, there's this guy with his Girlfriend staring at my R as they're walking toward the building in front of me, his girlfriend was holding his hand and she tried to take him to walk with her on the dry pavement...
funny.. the guy just keep on walking toward my R, dragging her to come with him as he never even blink an eye seeing my R... and nodding his head drooling all over..(This dude really look at my R as if it was a naked lady with a 9+ Body!!)
I saw his Girlfriend face turns red as we made eye contact...


sorry for the english. it's my 2nd language. At least I tried.........

 

I'm just picturing that guy dragging his girlfriend along LOL

 

heh, good stories I stopped by a honda dealer in buttscratch, maryland, (i was grabbing a filter for when i got back to pittsburgh, just happened upon the dealership and saw an S2000 and a really nice old hatch), and this kid who worked there came outta nowhere, and i hear from across the lot "if that's a real type R, then you're the man!" ...we chatted, he cracked me up. They had 3 S2Ks there, but apparently he'd never seen an R before.

EDIT: And Yos, i'm not even gonna try that in any other languages, i'd say your english is better than 80 percent of people who grew up in this uneducated country

actually for last year the honda dealerships in california got 2000 s2k's compared to like what 1200 type-r's nation wide Ah the pride of ownership

 

Id say the best praise for my "R" was from my dad. I grew up in a Chevy muscle family. Surrounded by old Camaro's, trucks, and anything bowtie related. Well my dad liked my frst couple of Honda's (95 Civic, and 94 GS-R). He respected them as good reliable cars. He didnt really see the potential of power with 4 cylinders. then came the day I got the ITR. We met up with the guy to do the deal, but me and my dad test drove her first. I was just driving normal for a bit to get the feel, and listening for out of the ordinary sounds at first. then I decided to lay into it. I dropped from 4th to 2nd and hammered it. When it hit approx. 6000 RPM's and switched cams. The AEM roared. I fired it through 3rd, 4th, and into 5th doing about 115 MPH by then. After I let off and began to slow back to the speed limit, my dad just turned to me with his eyes the size of silver dollars, and just said "DAMN!" LOL. Since then he's been kinda getting into the import scene. Or at least reading up on it with all my magazines. Him and my mom are about to get a new TL-S soon too. BTW, this is my dads toy..

When I had just bought my Type-R a couple of girls pulled up beside me at a light and said they had an orgasm when they saw my car. I knew then I had picked the right ride.

My friend Lee was parked at Wal-Mart in his NSX answering the usual questions from a couple of gawking guys. I came in a few minutes later pulling the E-brake skidding sideways into a parking slot. As soon as they saw me they frogot the NSX and started talking to me. They eventually asked me to take them for a ride. Not letting my fans down I agreed.

Yeah, I've done that a couple of times when I spotted an NS-X Type R!! Dragged the woman over to get a peak with me...

Anyways...here's the praise I get.

1. Apparently I am the envy of a couple of guys that the woman works with. I have never met these guys, and yet they constantly pester me by e-mail to send them pics of my car. I sent it to them a couple of times and my wife said that they were literally drooling over them like a couple of teenagers who had gotten a hold of some Playboys in their dads underwear drawer. One guy has a brother who works for HKS and he got wind that I was going to install a turbo at the end of this year...he's trying to push the HKS turbo kit on me but I told him that I had already ordered one from a different manufacturer. Now he wants some pics (sigh)..

2. Went to the Honda dealership to look into buying a daily driver for the wife. It was a Saturday, and I was dressed like homeless scrap. The dealer approached us after I had crawled into the front seat of the new DC5 ITR on display. He looks at me as if I were about to steal it and asks if he could help me. Well after about a ten minute conversation on what I wanted to buy my wife...he looks my name up in their customer computer database and found that I had bought an ITR in 1998 and paid cash for it....he was pratically licking my face after that and gave me a gold card that alows me to test drive any car on the lot without the dealer being in the car. We almost got into a long conversation on DC2 vs. DC5, but I avoided it...I'm too biased

 

I want a "gold card" but I doubt they have them here in America. Well, at least not for a young'n like me. The night I got my R I went to dinner with my girls family for her birthday. I was driving her (the girl... well, and the car) around the beaches and I had 2 guys try to race me within the first 2 hours of owning my car. I had a mustang for my first car, but for the past 3 years I've had a LandRover... So I wasn't really into "street racing" and I declined. They both praised my car high and low at a stoplight. The one guy in his beater early 90s teg said he was about to by one but had couldn't find one in stock so he got that instead. Yeah right . Anyway, he took off roaring his fart-pipe exhaust but he only slowly crawled away from me. My girl and I laughed at the lack of acceleration. Anyway, just figured I'd share my first days experience.

Oh, and PiYoImuT, I have to agree with Aleph... you're English is much better than most of our shining, brilliant, short-bus riding population.
