Killed a Hyundai
Hey, thought I'd post this:
This morning, Eastern Spur, NJ Turnpike. Me = 2000 E430 4matic. I had a Hyundai totally messing with me, like he stood a chance. Dude actually got past me by behaving foolishly on Rte. 46. I finally got behind him and nearly ran him over as we went up the hill towards Ft. Lee. Obviously, I smoked him once I got around him. But, it still pissed me off that he menaced me. I would never menace a Ferrari. Now I'm pissed off that I even expended any energy blowing by the guy. Why do I always get molested like this on the highway? It's not like I drive a hotrod or anything. I kid you not, every day, it's somebody else. I'm just minding my own business.
On a related topic, I kind of killed a Benz in NYC while I was in my Rover: I scared a CLK320 out of backing into a parking spot that he had his reverse lights on to back into, but I pulled in, front-first. I was mildly amused.

What was he doing to you, tailgating?
Gotta watch the parking spot fights. The loser can wait for you to go inside and then become a car-key artiste on your hood.
I was harassed by a Civic, with complete body kit and Type-R sticker in the windows (there aren't any type-r civics, right?). He must have forgotten that he still had a stock engine and fell back like a stone. Guess that body kit didn't add much to the original 100 horses.

Um, Civics and Accords are also a dime a dozen. Integras are diff. because they can handle way better due to their low level and small *** body.
There is a Civic and Accord Type-R. Some people just put the stickers on their Honduhs though because they give you an extra 20HP at the wheel. Pretty neat, no?

In accordance to Brentons post there is no REAL civic type R in NEW JERSEY (unless imported)....I know there are civic type R's elsewhere, but like u said, not in the US. The type R version here in the US is the SI, which comes in BLACK, YELLOW, WHITE & SILVER. They have the the same engine but different trannies. The Si is a 5 speed, while the Type R is a 6 speed.

Actually, the Type-R is not the SI. The Si model has a Type-R, and it is available in white.
Maybe that's what you meant. If so, sorry!

R stands for ricer, right?
Yes, Hyundai was tailgating me through the EZ pass lane. Made some inappropriate swings as well.
As for parking spot ******ing, I would never do it in my Benz. I did it once in my Rover and somebody stuck a nice fat roofing nail into the sidewall of my tire. A$$hole thought he'd cost me some money (1 Michelin Synchrome = $235), but my buddy who works for Rover snagged me a new one off of a lease return.

This Civic was red, so that settles that.
This morning I saw a Diamante lowered all the way to the ground. Every expansion joint in the road caused his to bounce and scrape a little. Not a very bright idea.
