	I see what you're saying.  Yeah, of course I'd trade my car in for an
NSX.  Then I'd sell the NSX and buy me a nice lil MK1 and dump a heavily
race-prepped 2.0 16V (possibly turbo) engine into that baby.  Don't
worry, I wouldn't go weak on suspension, rim&rubber, brakes or anything
else.  Just giving you an idea.

	That's the eternal question up here with everybody.  He says his car
was stock, though he didn't prove that by opening the hood.  Not like it
would matter...

	Yeah, I get beaten every once in awhile, but not too often.  That's cuz
I don't make a point of running V8s and stuff like that.  So far I've
been beaten by:

	heavily modified, but terribly driven, Integra GS-R (new style)
	heavily modified Integra RS (old style) 		
	minor modded 94 BMW 325is (1 car)
	NOSed 93 Civic CX (‡ car)
	Taurus SHO (2 cars)
	minor modded 93 Prelude SR-V (I think you Yanks call em SHs) (2 cars)
	HEAVILY modified 93 Civic Si (2 cars)  
	Isuzu Impulse turbo 4wd (‡ car)....gimme another chance, I'll take him
) :)
	HEAVILY modified mk2 Golf (4 cars)...this punk was letting off the gas
while we 	were running just to piss me off.  Then he had the balls to
tell me that it was 	a stock 8V...I'm surprised I didn't kick his teeth
in with all of the adrenyline 	going thru my body

	Hmmm, that seems to be about it

	Beautiful cars.  Three different guys come around the local spots with
their TypeRs...but I'd smoke em ;)

	That's just my alter ego that comes out every-so-often.
