Especially when it's some kind of do it yourself, big turbo/nitro/tune. I never get tired of watching those engine blow up on you tube. BANG!

Like you said honda engine are good for 200 000km. It's too bad than honda can't make cars that don't rust after 5 years. At least in the north. Go figure...kind of strange...

I think germans are historically the best cars against rust. I remember we had a 1967 wv bug. It had a solid underbody plate to protect the underside from road salt etc.

I do remember how easily hondas get door dings. Soft cars!

My trivia skills are a bit rusty. After doing a bit of Googling, it turns out Honda has 6 Formula One Constructor's Championships (4 with McLaren, 2 with Williams) and Mercedes-Benz has only 2 (one with Mclaren, and the other, ironically with Brawn which is the former Honda F1 team renamed after the buyout).

This is the best site, you can click the team and year to see the points.
You can also click on Championships and see who won in what year and the car they drove. Im not Honda haten but it is what it is. Oh I used to work for Honda
