only one time, after I polished my car and had no emblings on the trunk. I was in the shop getting the car aligned after putting in the new shoes, and a guy was talking to his girl about how nice my car looked and he complemented thats a one of kind Honda. he wasn`t sure what make it was, I told him no is a 01 Lexus IS300 non stock. but hey it happens, I guess is because that people that don`t know about tuning cars, only think Honda=tuning especially civics. I don`t mind racing porch,vettes,ferrari,ect that think my car is a honda. after they get smoked they go researching about that 4 door rearwheel drive honda that smoked them. lol

oohhh MAZDA!

Can I just say real quickly how much I'm not a fan of Mazda drivers? Swear to god, everyone that used to drive a Civic went and got a Mazda 3. & they think they're so special because they have a 'zoom-zoom' car ... man I can't stand Mazda drivers now.
