Heh, so is my lawnmower "Powered by Acura???"... the only things that should have a Powered By Honda sticker are F1, champ, and other REAL race cars.

See my previous post. Cross-reference Honda's F1 ranking.

Heh, yeah... I know Honda bites @$$ in F1. Don't even need to look. ;)
Though in Japanese GT, the NSX does extremely well... it does OK in Speed GT, but those Audis... AWD + turbo = whoohoo!

I thought everyone knew Acura was owned by Honda... Its pretty common knowledge



well... i didnt know that.... i dont know much about cars.... been a nerd all my life... but i'm catching up!

don't know much about cars, then don't fight with your friend about it.

:)

had to say it



I wasnt... that's why I asked here.

That's cool. Just don't be like my friend who thought that Porsche & BMW was an American car company. I kid you not.


hehe... no I knew that much... it's just that there are so many cars out there you can't possibly know about every single one of them.

You're right.... kinda. The TL is from Marysville, Ohio.....the CL is from East Liberty, Ohio (10 miles away or so) and the engines are made in Anna, Ohio (a few hours south)

I live a few miles from Marysville.... Honda Heaven! :D The funny thing is...there aren't too many ricers. It's frowned upon to modify your Honda around these parts!
