Ahhh, what every true performance enthusiast likes to see...yellow go-fast gauges...big wings to, as someone said, keep that lively rear end pinned down on the ground at breakneck speeds...freaking BMW badges on a Del Sol?...hippopotamus nostrils on an Integra...and last but not least, that most speed-oriented item, a ten-inch-tall slushbox handle jutting proudly into the automotive heavens...

otherwise...rice is good to eat. Hondas are decent little cars, if a little tinny. They're built in Kentucky or someplace, at least all of them that we'll ever see on this side of the ocean. Out here, they're getting crowded out by behemoth Escalades and Navigators wearing that most puzzling of styles, the 22" chrome dinner plate, with subs bigger than my apartment making the back end sag. And I may not be FoMoCo's biggest fan despite my Contour ownership, but if I ever see the owner of that first Mustang, he and I will be having one of those "this is how it is" conversations.

Sorry for the long and useless rant...
