I squeal tires even when I'm trying not too... It's embarrassing sometimes

Are you sure you have a type S and not a base RSX automatic ??

So that's where all those tire marks are from

I think it's cooler to drive to the point just before you peel out in your sweet fwd import around that turn in the rain

that is strange. if you have the type-S you should be able to chirp tires without pushing the car too hard. youre probably not doing it right.
