They think that since they have an american car, any american car, they can automatically beat the wind up toy hondas!

All of the people I know who are into american cars call hondas wind up toys.....they have no respect for them.......then I take them for a spin in my blue rocket and they change their tune every time. The funny thing is that they admit to having never been able to go much over 100 MPH in an american car because the handling gets even worse at high speeds, while my car just squats down lower and flies down the highway, hugging the road, taking the turns nice and tight!!!

I usually also have to explain to them the weight factor involved with cars.....you can have all the horsepower in the world, but if the car is too fat and has an inefficient drivetrain, it won't accelerate very fast, which is why hondas can go toe to toe with muscle cars, because they are efficient, better tuned, and lighter weight!!!
