pragmatic? f that, honda owners might be book smart but they aren't pragmatic enough to realize you need more than 130lbs torque to have fun in a car

who writes these things? mini drivers? this article comes off as pretentious as can be.

I'm sure that this author is as pragmatic as possible in all aspects of life. This goes beyond automobiles. It would only make sense that this individual cuts corners when it comes to cost in order to pinch every penny. For instance, no one really needs to shower more than a couple times a month. It just saves so much water to avoid cleaning oneself. Washing clothes is equally overrated. For the price of that trip to the laundromat—obviously, paying for laundry hookups is an unnecessary expense—a person could have instead bought a pragmatic diet of ramen noodles. Other sustenance could be grown or stolen for free. Clothes tends to be an unnecessary expense, as well. The author of this article probably finds it most pragmatic to use natural pigments and mud to paint clothing onto the skin in order to avoid spending cash on clothes. In fact, we should all be more like this pragmatic author, wear mud for clothes, steal our food, and avoid bathing at all costs.

Let's see, I have owned 2 Hondas and always had a chevy in the garage and I am a computer systems engineer so, what does that make me?

The author is an idiot!

Dammit, I'm such a sucker.

Could more Honda owners have degrees? Possibly. But what he neglects to mention is all the ones that have degrees are still driving the sh*tty '93 Civic they had in college because they are still paying off their school loans.

While I'd love to have a Hot Bentley too, the fact of the matter is unless I hit the Mega Millions Tuesday night, I'll just have to continue driving the Hottest Phucking Car in North America...the 2010 Camaro SS/RS
