[bitjockey]

Heh, thats actually Eric's nitrous switch... not his starter. Look closely, you can see my hand on the key.

[TurboBrick940]

Hot ****! Nice vid Robin.

I almost bought a late model legend, insted of my brick, acura four doors and preludes are the only honda products I would take in a heart beat.

[TurboBrick940]

I donno man the Acura 'Vigor' (*cough* Robin) and the Two-door legend are the hotttnessss.

[boosted]

i dunno.. i got to drive a 2 door legend, i wasn't too pleased..

[240T man]

I would take either a Vigor or 4-door Legend, either one with a stick, in a heartbeat. The Legends are really nice looking cars, and very refined.

I actually like both Volvos and HOndas; Upper-level Hondas (most accuras, accord, odyssey) are great. Civics suck. My mom had an Accord for 8 years and we loved it. Unfortunately, the local honda dealership was ****ty and we didn't know any independent Honda mechanics. We sold it and picked up our '84 854T the next day to join our '87 245. We've since sold the 245 for a Honda Odyssey, which is probably the best van made, and the ONLY van you can drive, and still enjoy the driving experience. I could never see myself looking forward to driving a minivan, but the Odyssey changed that. 3.5/210HP V6 in a van with a sporty suspension that actually provides good feedback means fun to drive.

The Legend has nearly identical HP/torque figures as the Odyssey, in a package that weighs 1,000lbs less. It HAS to be fun to drive!

Hehehe I'm waiting for the footage of the taurus. Taking ****e cars in the woods to beat on them is so much fun

I'd have to disagree about damaging cars, but anyway.

Robin, you should edit out some of the Volvo stuff, I guess basically pare (sp?) it down to the black civic, and post it on a couple Honda/rice boards- that has potential to be an absolute all time classic- the music, the dark lighting, the mean black car, the smoke etc. Really has real artistic merit. 8-) << my director shades. (btw, anyone else think that emoticon looks like Jack N?)

Those shades must be dark...that's a 1st generation Eclipse GS-T, Acura Legend, RSX, Volvo 940T, Camaro Z28

[iadr]

No, it's not that eitherrr... (to paraphrase Steven Rea in the Crying Game since we're on movies)

My bad though, If I'd read the thread before posting, I'd have clued into Vigor. I saw the top of the fender arch reflection as it led into the hood, and got the manufacturer right... family resemblence...

[linuxman51]

so wheres this taurus video? :)

[bitjockey]

Haha... its coming.

In order for this not to look like a total redneck production, it has to be edited very carefully to hide the fact that it is a total redneck production.

:-D

My friend ran off with his tape of the trip, so I'm really just waiting to get it back from him to have more camera angles.

Patience, patience, I promise it'll be worth it. :x:

[tequila_gundam_no_chaser]

Vigor's and legends are niiiice. My ricer bud had a 95 legend automagic, and its a very good looking refined car. The thing rips for burnouts too. However ,theres no boost, and no room to mount a turbo! At just 12psi with a good launch, my brick can rip him a new asshole (at 15psi, I can start off boost, while he revs and still beat him :) ). But otherwise, they're far nicer cars and he can get more chicks with his car than can my brick. I'd love to see a legend 240hp v6 in a prelude.
