My wife has an '01 Corolla. I work on it all the time so I somehow feel connected to Corollas now. I just replaced the rear O2 sensor, which was a fun job, and put new plugs in it a few weekends ago. 130,000 miles and it still runs like a champ and gets 30-35mpgs. 
In Arizona we have all the lifted turbo diesels trucks that blow huge black clouds out of the tailpipes when they take off. I guess it has to do with the fact any assclown can plug a programmer in and get an extra 100hp/100tq. I'm sorry, a 15 second jacked up huge truck doesn't impress moi. It's really annoying when I'm next to one with my windows open and they decide to leave a black smoke screen by gunning it. Lame.

God there are some fucking douches on this site lately. Must be the bad depreciation of the 2nd gen TL/CL. Grow the fuck up.

I don't know why you guys are so biased when it comes to treating people on the forums. Just because he's new doesn't mean he can't have an opinion. It's a discussion on a public forum, not a debate in your damn house. If you don't like it, stop reading and hit the back button. I've seen high count posters ask some ridiculous questions and you all seem content with it. So biased.
Any ways, I've experienced more reckless drivers in a lifted truck than anything. Of course when you're that high, it's easy to think you're on top of the world.

I only listed the RDX and TSX in my sig because they are Acuras my family and i previously had and shared. Im not gonna list every other car we have owned. We have downsized considerably since those leases, mostly because cars like those are unnecessary. My 8 year old TL replaced the TSX and a Forester replaced the RDX. I am not any less happy now than I was when we had the RDX/TSX in the family
Anyways, what was this thread about again?

Idk i like people seeing that I have experience with more than one acura, BUT not for the bragging rights. I was the primary driver of the TSX also.
i put "leased" next to them too so i figured people would probably realize they were family cars, as no dealer would lease a 17 year old (at the time) a car.
/off topic
I see people driving like douche bags in ANY type of car. In my area I encounter a lot of VERY elderly people who drive like douche bags without them even knowing it. It sucks because there is nothing you can do about them. They dont want to give up their driving privileges. Its understandable though, I know I wouldnt.

Up where I'm at in the bitter north of Canadark, pick-up truck and BMW drivers are numero one and two (this can flipflop) as the worst drivers...
Cut you off? Check.
Tailgate you if they think you're too slow? Check.
Take too long to make a turn because you think caution is better and they honk you? Check.
Put it this way, it's like the golf-shirt and the popped collar. The minute you do it and pucker your lips (and get a bad tan)...instant douche.
Buy a pick-up or BMW? Instant douche.
Can you imagine if BMW made pick-ups?
I'm stereotyping of course and there are exceptions...BUT, generally speaking, it's what I see.

Just lastweek. I was in the turning lane, theres 2 lanes that turn left. I was on the right side, there was a white truck on the left. . Then the arrow turns green, I follow the line i was in, and without even signaling or anything, right before we made it through the lane, he cuts me off and went infront of me in my lane.

Whats worst is the truck driver loading furniture or other heavy items, and not secure them correctly. The other time I saw a truck having a few mattress on its bed, BUT, there was no rope to tide it down. I immediately went to the other lane. And when we stop at a stop light, and then the light turns green, the truck driver excellerate normally and forgot that he has unsecure cargo in the back. and the bed mattress fell down and hit the other car's windsheild behind him. broken glass was everywhere.
